Haters, to the left! It seems there are some people out there who never learned how to politely disagree with other human beings!

Five Clothing Items to Survive Winter in NYC
I always say, it’s summer in New York until THE SECOND it becomes winter and then it’s winter until THE SECOND it becomes summer. When did winter happen, you ask? Winter happened overnight on October 1st. Which is cool! I can appreciate you, winter, for being organized and arriving on your own schedule! And hey,…
Background
So, I posted here that a couple weeks ago I had the opportunity to perform as “background” on a pilot that was shooting in NYC! Here’s what I learned: CONGRATULATIONS! You’ve been cast as WOMAN AT BAR in the exciting pilot production of UNTITLED PILOT TBA !!! You’ve got a call time just after dawn,…
How to Ruin Comic Con
So many helpful articles on the Internet already exist to tell you how to SURVIVE a comic convention, how to GET THE MOST OUT OF a comic convention, blah blah blah. I was going to write that article but damn, it’s already been done did-ed already! So instead, in the interest of humor, let’s take…
The Hyde Amendment
The Year is 2015, and the House of Representatives has just voted to defund Planned Parenthood. “We don’t want our tax dollars to pay for abortions!” they wail. And that’s where I come in.

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Dust Storms
Dust storms at Burning Man. Apparently, this year was rife with ’em. Pesky, unscheduled, seemingly never-ending dust storms. Don’t we look thrilled. I alluded to some dust storms in the previous posts COCONUT + RUM + POLAROID and Tutu Tuesday, but those were minor, rapidly dissipating storms. No, the one I’m about to tell you…

Everyone, everywhere has an opinion about what you should not do in the presence of your SigOth (that’s SIGnificant OTHer, for the uninitiated). Most people agree it’s best not to pick your nose in front of your partner, and “pooping” seems to be there across the board as well, but there’s one horrific sight that…
A Mile in Grown-Up Shoes
Let’s face it: being an adult is hard, from your head down to your toes. You not only have to think and act like an adult, you also have to dress like one! I have been mostly successful at avoiding this until yesterday, when special circumstances warranted that I wear…grown-up shoes. I picked a pair…
Better Loving Through Science
This New York Times Modern Love article made the internet rounds a couple of weeks ago, but with Valentine’s Day coming up (and you know how much I love Valentine’s Day!), I thought this was a perfect time to share it. In the article, Mandy Len Catron talks about using a series of 36 Questions…
To Cap It Off
When the weather gets colder, it’s time for hats! Looking good in hats is a special talent of mine (don’t scoff – it takes a lot of work to pull off a good hat!) and on top of that (heh, hat pun?) hats serve the secondary purpose of disguising the fact that you’ve been too…
