See this beautiful woman?
She likes her words. She has cool red glasses. She can even concentrate under a strange, retro, hair heating device. Oh, it’s in the name of beauty. Fine. I totally get that. We women go to great lengths in the name of our beauty rituals. Unfazed. Poised. Purposeful.

Are all stereotypes true? When we generalize about people or a place, is that bad? Is judging something as “bad” – bad?
Stereotypes and generalizations
Yesterday I wrote about why I find France, and French men irresistible. And everything I wrote was true – to me. As for the stereotypes and generalizations about French men? I stand [...]

A fine wine, a conversation
Deep crimson color. Full-bodied taste. What could be better than a wonderful Côtes du Rhône in hand, and conversation shared with a friend in France?
That friend is a journalist who writes with a refined eye and wicked wit on all things stylish and oh-so French. And what subject comes [...]
It’s been a week for writing. For reading and writing. Tapping and typing and can’t turn it off even when my fingers aren’t on a keyboard. (Useful? Useless? Avoidance Therapy?)
I even took an hour to actually enjoy the web, buzzing with all manner of pleasurable and intriguing vibes. I read about how Stone Fox was [...]

Women of style and accomplishment
This year, the Academy Awards sparkled with women of style and accomplishment, along with prizes of historic significance. I loved the color palettes, and I loved Mo’Nique’s nod to Hattie McDaniel in her blue dress and white flower in the hair.
And speaking of nods, pop over to A Femme d’un Certain [...]

Avoidance (Procrastination?)
Let’s be clear. Avoidance is not the same as procrastination. Avoidance is a fine art unto itself. A coping strategy. No 12-step program required.
I am avoiding the email account I use for “dating.” Thus, I don’t have to deal with the issue of Date Night Guy.
I am avoiding calling the company where I [...]

Teens in. Teens out. Teens in. Teens out. Frazzled nerves, fridge empty, more driving, less sleeping. STOP! Now! Somebody get me out of here!
Parenting Tips for Stress Busting
Parenting tips? Sure. I’ve got a boatload. And thus far, without pharmaceuticals.
One petite padded room, with shelves for my designer footwear
One power strip for my laptop [...]

I’m ransacking the cerebral files, the dream bank, the piggy bank.
Hell, I’d empty the sperm bank if I had one around and thought it would help me crack a smile. I’d shake shake shake as much as I could from any of those vessels, to collect a clinking coin or drizzly drop of humor. More [...]

The Oscars are here!
It’s that time again – Oscars – and we’ve all got our picks, our faves, our popcorn at the ready, our DVRs set if we can’t be present for the overly long telecast, and those impromptu speeches and stumbles.
But we’re glued to our images, mesmerized by the glitz and glamor. Or at [...]

Last weekend I ventured out. On Date Night. It was… interesting. An enjoyable dinner. And a strange dénouement. Then I waxed winsomely on the subject of body language and touch, and interpreting non-verbal communication. Not quite one week later, here’s my take: I suck at dating.
How to determine your dating prowess
Care to know if you, [...]
