Sometimes all it takes is a few words. Or an hour, even if it’s filled with 140-character communications, and they wind up being smart, provocative, and playful.
Last evening I hopped on Twitter, restlessly, after a long day. I was well aware that the pleasure of pondering and writing about contemporary art – my usual, on [...]

Who doesn’t want options, when it comes to starting out? Who doesn’t want options when it comes to starting over?
In my morning reading, this caught my eye: 10 Great Cities for Young Adults. How could I not check it out, thinking about my own sons and where they might light in a few years, pursuing [...]

“Who are you, really?” he wrote, in an email.
That’s not a question I answer easily. I know my public face, and my private selves. I keep them fairly separate for a number of reasons. And I like it that way.
Who are you may seem like a simple question, but it isn’t something I [...]

I really don’t have an evil twin. It just feels like it some days. And then there’s this: I think an evil twin would come in handy.
Of course, I would endow her with a complex persona, not just character flaws and secret longings. She’d be my polished pinch-hitter (for whatever I dislike), my cocky counterpart [...]

How to celebrate a big day
Do you have an anniversary coming up? A big day to celebrate? Are you expecting jewelry, lavish gifts, a surprise getaway? A luscious slice of cake?
In my fantasy life, I am the delirious recipient of a glittering piece of jewelry to commemorate the day – nothing garish, mind you. A [...]

Paris? Tennis? Irresistible combination?
OUI!
More irresistible than French men? Mmm. Tough one.
But we’re counting down. Just hours away now. And what could be better than Paris in the spring, and Grand Slam Tennis? The only thing I can think of is being there – rather than watching on television.

River. Apple. Banjo. Sparrow. Diva Muffin?
These are just a few of the odd celebrity names we might come across as we consume our daily pop culture media. What do you think? Would you do that to your kid? Or should I say “Kyd,” as in Kyd Duchovny (Tea Leoni and David Duchovny’s son)? Or the [...]

Accessory (after the fact?)
No, this is not my bag.
Chic, isn’t it? But pas moi. However, I was asked awhile back to divulge the characteristics and contents of my purse. May I say that I would like to do so with perspicacity? May I add that this request comes with a bit of a conundrum?

Last night I had to face it. The truth. My addiction.
I guess as confessions go, it could be worse. So here it is. I’ll just spit it out. I am an addict. Yes – I am addicted to Sex and the City. To the series. The movies. And it’s been going on for some time [...]

French fashion fun
You know I love French men. You know I love the French language. You know I’m itching to hop a flight and find myself in Paris again, or even better – in my fantasy – that divine, luxurious hotel on the French Riviera. (I know. I really didn’t have to say it. I [...]
