Congrats to my girl Skylar Grey for hitting #1 on iTunes earlier today with her song “I Know You” from the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack. You can also watch it on Vevo.  Between this song and Beyonce’s sex-ay remake of “Crazy in Love,” I’m very interested in this soundtrack! Don’t ask me about the…

I’m going to end the year with a post featuring the interesting people I stood next to in photos in 2014.

Concert Adventure, Part I: Waiting for the Monster Tour

August 19, 2014 by WendyB

In March, when Rihanna and Eminem announced the dates for their joint, three-city Monster Tour, I wasn’t sure what tickets to get.  It would be practical to get seated tickets, but in huge venues like New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium, which has over 80,000 seats, even the best seats are fairly far away from the stage….
