The other day I had brunch all by myself for the first time ever. One-hundred percent on my own. Without a book or a magazine, no laptop, no iPod, and certainly no friends in sight.
It wasn’t planned, exactly. I’d left the apartment with plans to meet a guy pal at our favorite cafe, until he […]

What Happened to Miss Independent?
No Need to Get Your Knickers in a Knot!
Maybe you took part in an unplanned sleepover after bar crawl last night (oops), or have been overstaying your welcome at a friend’s apartment, maybe you just misread your recent uncontrollable Coldstone cravings and now Aunt Flo has arrived unexpected for her monthly visit (damn, and you only bought these knickers last week).
No matter what […]
Denim Diaries
Being more of a skinny jean type girl, straight-legged, resolving to embrace my complete lack of calves, (I think I was the only girl that nodded my head in empathy when that guy got calf implants on True Life: I’m Getting Plastic Surgery) I wasn’t so on-the-trend-boat to learn that Kate Moss is apparently starting […]
Luxuriously Loaded Youngins
Apparently you only have to play a wizard (not actually be one) to make millions of dollars magically appear. In the spirit of the new Harry Potter and the Daniel Radcliffe craze, I found it fitting to blog about rich teens (and how completely undeserving they are of their millions.).
Don’t get me wrong, I wholeheartedly […]
Bizarre Internship Chronicles: Embarassment Imminent

The other day I was asked to get one of the […]
Maybe She’s Born With it, Maybe It’s Free Boobies
Yippee! So you might remember our lovely Jess’ blog on myfreeimplants.com, that skeevy site where men basically sponsor ladies who put up profiles and buy them boob implants. Sweet life.
Well super-cool Jessica Levine of Florida decided the website was no booby trap (pun most definitely and superbly intended) and ended up winning a great new […]
One More Reason Boys Are Dumb
I’m all for women’s rights, a feminist, no doubt. Recently, I even got into a heated (drunken) debate with a guy friend when he tried to claim that girls can’t drive. After all, how many accidents had he gotten into as opposed to my one measly fender bender? I refused to let him get away […]
The Silent No Strikes Back
Cigarettes? Just say no. Candy from a stranger? Just say no. The creepy man that kept inching closer to me outside of Port Authority at 1 AM? I just said no. (Seriously, he was like an inch from me and I just got in his face and was all like “NO.” After that I invested […]
