The Fight of the Century: Waterston vs. Schulman
As I said in my last post, gorgeous blogger Jennine and I went to see the social-media-inspired movie Catfish. There are two notable things about Catfish. First, the trailer that makes the movie look like a scary pseudo-documentary à la The Blair Witch Project is misleading. Second, Yaniv “Nev” Schulman, the handsome star of the…
Things to Do in New York Tonight
I recently caught 1985’s Desperately Seeking Susan on television and was impressed by how well it held up. Seeing the movie again made me intensely nostalgic for the era’s dirtier, more creative, less fast-fashion downtown New York, which the Wall Street Journal calls “the film’s uncredited co-star, alongside Rosanna Arquette and Madonna.” I was obsessed…
Change of Taste
Baskin-Robbins brought back my favorite ’70s ice-cream flavor, Pink Bubblegum, for the month of August. My goal this weekend was to get a scoop before it was too late. That is one craving I will never have again. Did this stuff always taste so bad? Damn! I still ate the whole scoop even though I…

Having a Samantha Moment in a Stacy Lomman Dress
As I said in yesterday’s post, I got together with gorgeous blogger Jennine of The Coveted last week so she could photograph and interview me for her denim blog, Eat, Sleep, Denim. While we were at it, I wanted to get a picture of a dress made for me by gorgeous blogger/clothing designer Stacy Lomman…
Watch Me Wear This One
Before I started dating the gorgeous MrB in 1998 (thanks to the intervention of my late dog, Mr. Chubbs), I’d barely worn jewelry in years. Once in a blue moon, I’d wear a sapphire ring my parents got me for my 16th birthday, and I got a chunky silver ring during a trip to Dublin…
Musical Moment With Marshall Mathers
I’ve listened to Love the Way You Lie by Eminem and Rihanna 50 times in 12 hours. No exaggeration. Now you can be obsessed by it too. The video features Megan Fox and Dominic Monaghan.

It’s Official: My New Hero Is Antoine Dodson
In case you’ve lost track of the cast of characters in my life, here it is: My idol is Coco. My main pimp is Ice-T. My greatest obsessions are Sam Waterston’s eyebrows. My musical goddess is Lady Gaga. I haven’t had a hero since 2008 when comedian Katt Williams went crazy. I thought of placing…
