How To Not Talk To Your Child About The Apple Juice/Arsenic Issue

November 30, 2011

This morning I was watching the Today Show, my morning guilty pleasure. Which is not to be confused with General Hospital, my afternoon guilty pleasure, and the Bravo network, my evening guilty pleasure. I was happy to see that Dr. Oz was coming up. I love Dr. Oz. What I love most about him is […]

I Have Fantastic News. About My Ass

September 23, 2011

Last month I attended a Wacoal event in NYC and was fitted for a bra of my dreams and yours. I loved everything about this event– from the invitation that promised cocktails and small bites (we’ll see about that, I thought) to the fact that it was held on a top floor of a midtown […]

Please Don’t Make Me Look at Fat People

October 27, 2010

Yesterday the internet exploded. Maura Kelly wrote an article for Marie Claire, Should “Fatties” Get a Room (Even on TV?) and received over 900 comments.

South Beach, The Beginning

October 21, 2010

I have to apologize in advance to you for telling this story out of order. Because last week, Husbandrinka made me so insane that I had to tell you about the South Beach diet, instead of introducing you to it gradually. That’s his fault. Many things are. Earlier this month in West Virginia, I was […]

Trial Separation

October 13, 2010

I’m not happy today. Partly because I don’t have a naturally sunny personality but mostly because Husbandrinka has me so fuming. And to make matters worse, I have to tell you this whole story out of order. I was going to start with a fun and exciting tale about how I decided to go on […]
