Two of my favorite people together: my gorgeous friend Kara Baby and Law & Order SVU‘s Detective John Munch (Richard Belzer). Sorry I stole your Facebook photo, Kara Baby. I couldn’t help myself. UPDATED TO ADD: Kara Baby (aka Finn the Pug in the comments) notes that Munch KISSED HER HAND! I’m swooning.

Blondie, Beatles, Bronski, Duran, Nirvana
Gorgeous blogger Pretty in Black tagged me to write about five albums that changed my life. Trivia: I had the first four on vinyl. 1. Parallel Lines by Blondie was one of the first albums I ever owned. As I recall, my grandfather Sam got it for me when I was about 11. I can’t…

Dressing Up for Robin Hood
Last night, we went to a fundraiser for Robin Hood, which is an awesome organization that fights poverty in New York.

Jon Stewart hosted the evening and the Black Eyed…

Do You Want It Wrinkly or Ignorant?
A few months ago, someone submitted a comment to this blog accusing me of being a “wrinkly slut.” My first reaction was to say, “Mom, that’s the pot calling the kettle black!” I kid, I kid. My mother is smooth and chaste. In reality, my first reaction was to say, “‘Wrinkly Slut’ would be a…
