In my most cynical moments, I have believed that there is no such thing as pure altruism. Like I said. Cynical. Every day express your love to 3 people, animals or objectsBe true to your heartKeep doing it for 3 months & your life will totally change — Yoko Ono ☮️🏳️ (@yokoono) August…

SELFIES
Yo, I wasn’t going to say anything about Kim Kardashian on this blog… ever, but I loooove talking about SELFIES. When I see selfies being attacked, I gotta run to the rescue. Oh, and slut-shaming. That too. By now, you’ve seen Kim Kardashians “Internet-breaking” nude (and tastefully censored) selfie. First, can I ask why this…
You Should See Me Climb Stairs
I really don’t know who first said, “If you think that’s impressive, you should see me climb stairs.” I spent actual time Googling that quote, and I can’t seem to find its true origin, so I’ve decided that it’s a thing my dad used to say. It sounds like a thing dads say. That means…
Love Letter to Law & Order: SVU
Law & Order: SVU has been on television for 17 Seasons – the age of legal consent in New York State! What? Don’t act like you’re not in love with SVU, and don’t act shocked! It’s been 17 seasons of twisted plotlines, tense standoffs, mistaken identity, snatched babies and jaw-dropping twists. SVU is the longest-lasting…
Can You Be A Feminist And LOVE Reality TV?
Can you be a feminist and – YES. Shhh. YES YOU CAN. You can be a feminist and do whatever you want. But. I looooooove Reality TV – especially dating shows. My favourite dating shows are of the “_____ of Love” oeuvre. The challenges are over-the-top ridiculous (Mud Bowl!), the glitz and glamour is outrageous…
Exciting Announcement!
I’m so excited to announce that I’m writing advice for Femnasty! I’ve been a huge fan of the website ever since last fall, when the Basic Bitch article caught my eye and tbh, my heart exploded. I was all, OMG, these girls totally get it. I am so proud to be working alongside the team…
2015 in Review: First Quarter
JANUARY Adjusting to the New Job (1/22/15): “Most days I go home tired. Some days, I go home feeling like a total failure. I feel so defeated it’s hard to breathe as I walk to the subway. And some other days, things go so well that I feel like dancing all the way home. But…
Dear Santa…
Dear Santa: I don’t ask for much in the way of gifts and presents, because what I really want can’t sit under the tree with a shiny red bow on top. Santa, if you think (as I do) that I’ve been good this year, I will be even better next year if you bring me…
Macy’s Charlie Brown Christmas Windows!
Charlie Brown’s face up there pretty much sums up what it’s like to live in New York City during the Christmas tourism season. On the one hand, everything is festive and pretty from the lights on the high street shops to the carollers down in the subway. On the other hand, it’s annoying as fuck…
My First Date with Lush
Yes, you read that right: my first. After I shared about my struggles with acne, I took the advice of the comments and got my butt to Lush on the Upper West Side. It was a rainy Thursday afternoon, and I was the only shopper in the store, with three knowledgeable and enthusiastic employees. We…
5 Fandom Friday: Holiday Recommendations
I’m going to be completely honest with you (like uh, when am I ever not?) and say, I have no idea what this prompt means, taken as a whole. BUT, taken one piece at a time: “Holiday” and “Recommendations,” I gather it means “Tell People What To Do This Holiday.” I love telling people what…
What Was Your Favourite Book As A Child?
My very first book obsession was Go, Dog, Go! Apparently, I made my parents read it to me so many times that I memorized it and would “read” it back to them! They figured out my “secret” when they put a random other book in my hands, and I proceeded to read Go, Dog, Go!…
