I happened across a quirky little film recently, Friends With Money, starring Jennifer Aniston and a talented ensemble cast. It’s the story of four friends, three of whom have money, and one who doesn’t. Aniston plays Olivia, a former teacher, a few years younger than her more established pals in their 40s. She’s a maid […]
Stopping the Stereotypes
First, I stumbled into the observations of Lisa at Amid Privilege. Her commentary on the depiction of smart women on television – or rather, their relative flatness as compared to their male counterparts – offers an interesting opening to a broader topic of discussion. When it comes to men, endearingly quirky characters are tolerated and […]
Lucky Charms, Black Cats, Magical Thinking
It’s Friday the 13th, but you knew that, right? Are you avoiding ladders, knocking on wood more often than usual, or purposely not deviating from any activity out of the ordinary? Are you possibly just a little bit superstitious? If you are, you aren’t alone. And according to an opinion piece by Mathew Hutson in […]
Starting With a Kiss? Bliss. . .
Is Mad Men Season 5 really starting with a kiss? Apparently so. And if the episode title isn’t enough to seduce us, I can only imagine that the premiere itself will. Season 5’s “A Little Kiss” Parts 1 and 2 will air tonight at 9:00 p.m. on AMC TV, and all the Mad Men addicts […]
Fawning, Flattering, Following? Friday!
Are you fawning when it comes to those you admire? Are you flattered when someone admires you? Are you thrilled to be followed – virtually, that is – especially on #FollowFriday? Isn’t Friday fun? We all know that Twitter’s #FollowFriday is our shot at shout-outs to people and places we want to share – so […]
How to Hook a Man… Or How to Stay Healthy
I thought it would be an innocent article on fitness, likely encouraging women to be kinder about our genetic predisposition to certain body types, changing metabolism with aging, and the value of weight training for good health. Apparently, Caitlin Constantine’s column on body image at the Huffington Post was perceived by some as more “shoulds” […]

Objet de désir ? A vous de décider… (Humour)

Cloud Nine? Not So Much
Packing and repacking. Zip-lock bags for small size toiletries. Long lines at security. Shoes off, laptops out, keys and phones and change dropped into a container. Maybe a search for good measure. You arrive at your gate. There’s waiting. More waiting. Eventually, you board – and you count your blessings because you feel as if […]
Beautiful Eyes
Some say eyes are the windows to the soul. So it follows – beautiful eyes, beautiful spirit? When I look into the eyes of almost any child, they seem beautiful to me; the child is untouched as yet by hurt or disillusionment. When I look into the eyes of anyone full of hope, they seem […]
