I do not celebrate Christmas; I am a Hanukkah kind of gal. You know…a Jew. And I love me some Hannukah. From the fried potato pancakes smothered in apple sauce to the time I spend with my family; I truly do adore this holiday.

Oh, and the gifts ain’t too bad either.

But even though I don’t celebrate Christmas, I absolutely love everything about it, too. I love walking around just after Thanksgiving and seeing all the lights and decorations go up. I love how kind and generous people are to one another (except at malls and stores). All the great food, the great sales, and, of course, my Christmas bonus!

Aye! I just love this time of year.

My all time favorite thing about Christmas, though, is the music. When I hear it on the radio I turn it up and belt it out. It is weird, I know, but enjoying the music doesn’t mean that I am suddenly all about Jesus. I just like the spirit, ok?

Maybe it is the lack of Hanukkah songs out there (I do appreciate your attempts, though, Adam Sandler) but there is something about Christmas music that totally pumps me up and puts me in the best mood. I consider myself somewhat of a Christmas Tunes connoisseur, so I thought it only fair to share my knowledge with all of you.

Consider it a gift.

You wouldn’t be alone if you thought that a modern, simplistic aesthetic was what was hot at the moment, however, you’d be dead wrong.

What is hot, you ask? Vintage. But not that 80’s crap you’ve been regurgitating for the last 5 years. Nope. Get ready for 1920’s vintage flair.

Needed:

• Beading and fringing
• Drop-waists
• Kate Moss for Topshop
• Short bobs
• Cloche hats

Could this be it? Are the days of babydoll dresses and tent-like silhouettes gone for good? Can we all finally find some dresses that will hug our curves and flatter our features? Is it finally acceptable to be dressed up and beautiful because - gasp! - you want to be? Read More »

It’s time for Hollywood to take out the trash.

You know what I’m talking about– Lindsay, Paris, Britney, Nicole, Nicole’s unborn baby, Nicole’s ugly boyfriend, and dare I say…Christina Aguilera. Always rubbed me the wrong way, that one.

H-town is seeming more and more like a ghost town these days with its little coke-infused starlets escaping the summer grit of the city for rehab.

Rehab: it’s the new Hamptons!

But, who is there to look to now? Who will inform us, mere plebes, of fashion trends we cannot afford and only imitate feebly by shopping at Forever 21? Who will entertain us while we slave away at our precariously filing - centric summertime internships? Have we no heroes anymore? No inspiration?

I try to think of understudies for Lilo & Co, but the best I can do is a list of the boring and banal: Anne Hathaway, Natalie Portman, Jessica Biel, Scarlett Johansson. Ugh. Stars– they really are just like us. Meaning? Boring. Read More »

I’m only a couple of days into Summer Break and I’m already looking for things to do with all this time I suddenly have on my hands.

So yesterday, while looking at Angelina Jolie’s photo in Maxim’s Hot 100, I got this grand idea to go get a tattoo.

I mean, I was always too young before and my mother made many-a-promising-threat to kill me if I even thought about decorating (or in her words desecrating) my body with permanent ink…

But technically I am now an adult and everybody’s doing it… amiright???

So to make a better a case for myself, I scanned through the top 20 hotties of Maxim’s hot list to see who’s got some ink and who doesn’t…

I was quite surprised by the results… 12 of the 20 are sporting inked celebrity skin, some much better than others.

Take a look for yourself. Read More »
