What ever happened to. . . Dr. Ruth?
Remember Dr. Ruth? What ever happened to the pint-sized sexpert who so sweetly answered everything you always wanted to know about sex, and I don’t mean Woody Allen-style? Whatever happened to. . . Don’t you love those “Whatever happened to” stories and series? I do. Well… sometimes. Other times I find them annoying. Or worse, […]
I have my own planet. (Can’t I just stay here?)
Women in the baby blur You know that blur that occurs after (most) women have babies? And they don’t have nannies to help, or nearby family stepping in on a regular basis, or maybe they do, but the reality of the days and nights is a growing fuzziness, a stream of sleeplessness and round-the-clock activity? […]
Australian Open: Women serve up drama
Tennis, finally It’s just after midnight in my part of the world, but I had to hang on to watch defending Australian Open tennis champion Serena Williams tough it out against China’s Li Na in two grueling sets. Serena’s serves were a thing of beauty – 12 aces in this match. But it was the […]
Heidi Montag Cosmetic Surgery: Horrifying or No Big Deal?
Heidi Montag – typical American girl? Anything to be famous? To be a pop star? I don’t buy it. Heidi Montag, a (previously) beautiful 23-year old reality TV star on The Hills, now “improved” by 10 cosmetic surgery procedures. Is this what our culture is becoming? A 23-year old who is (was?) lovely, who undergoes […]
Next generation marriage
“I want to get married,” he says. The words are fired off into the air and seem to settle there, stark and defiant, as though some invisible structure of wires and pulleys holds the phrase in place so I cannot turn away. Then each letter tumbles down through the air, disintegrating. These are special effects. […]
Sexy Senator, according to French news
You’ve got to love the French! And j’adore my yahoo.fr news feed. The pivotal Senate race in Massachusetts made news in France, as it did elsewhere in the world, including the yummy youth of sexy Senator Scott Brown. I love, love, love that French news leads with the fact that Brown posed nude for Cosmopolitan […]
What ISN’T in your wallet?
Some particularly playful writers in the neighborhood have been exposing themselves of late. Now, now. Keep your pants on. Exposing themselves by taking us on a tour of their respective billfolds, wallets and purses. First there was the slow and meticulous reveal at The Critical Path, followed by Nicki’s look at Nicki’s Nook. This glimpse […]
Haiti, Disaster Relief, Celebrity Giving
This week’s devastating earthquake in Haiti makes our day-to-day troubles seem trivial, or even irrelevant. We may continue with “life as usual” though most of us wonder what we can do to help. So, we contribute what we can to the American Red Cross or other disaster relief funds. As with all catastrophic events, the […]
Pregnant Pause After “Mr. Good Enough”
I usually make a morning stop for an entertaining read at Dads House, where I am met by the perspective of a single dad who talks about parenting and sex, cocktails and sex, internet dating and sex… Well, you get the picture. But this single dad is also keenly aware (and opinionated) when it comes […]
