DC’s Changetastic Makeover: Myth or Reality?
I knew back in January traipsing around the nation’s capitol in my stiletto gold heels while my exposed toes froze that Change City would not sustain its hyper-festive jubilee beyond the inaugural hullabaloo. With all my bicoastal coming and going between New York and Los Angeles most of this year, it wasn’t until last week [...]
Not Dancing on Tables … Yet
It’s officially been a month since I became a full-time New Yorker, and I have to confess that the experience has borne an uncanny resemblance to the film, “Coyote Ugly.” (Yes, I just used the term ‘film’ facetiously for dramatic effect and a second time for the sake of alliteration.) From the time the cab [...]
Thanks, Mom!
As usual, in the midst of my daily battle to compete as a top blogger extraordinaire, I’ve been ignoring most of the logistical details of my never-ending cross-country move. For months since I’ve been bicoastal I’ve had no idea where half my stuff was: in Jacqueline’s Gramercy Park apartment, at my house in Highland Park, [...]
truuconfessions blitz!
I came back to work in Los Angeles this week and wrap up a few unresolved moving issues. (Namely, a storage shed full of stuff that cannot be shoved into an NYC closet-sized apartment, one plus size kitty, a goodbye party with friends & margaritas, brunch on my favorite boss ever’s boat and movie night [...]
Last Night’s ‘Virtually Speaking’ with Jimbo Hoyer
Much like the way I came to appreciate some of society’s great phenomenons such as “The OC” after the fact, I finally ventured into Second Life last night as a guest on “Virtually Speaking.” (Note my hot avatar provided by the VS team, including the not-exactly-true-to-life long legs.) Jay Ackroyd (a.k.a. Jimbo Hoyer) and I [...]
My Obsession with Evelyn Nesbit
As my Twitter followers will note, this past month I’ve been absolutely riveted reading Paula Uruburu’s book about the country’s first “it” girl, Evelyn Nesbit, and the murder of her lover, Stanford White in “American Eve.” (The lover was offed by her insane millionaire husband, Harry Thaw, in 1906 and was a tabloid sensation, complete [...]
#facebookshouldnotbetwitter
My typical late-night routine of catching up on news and friends has taken a serious hit ever since Facebook launched its unfortunate redesign. I’m a journalist and web site proprietor; I know most redesign backlash is really a learning curve for the lesser evolved among us who will eventually embrace the enhanced services in the [...]
Helloooo, Manhattan
I’ve returned to New York with a grueling schedule and a number of wonderful adventures. After my beloved Virgin America airlines destroyed my lucky purple suitcase and an unlicensed cab driver attempted to kidnap me at JFK, I rallied from my redeye flight for a great Wilshire & Washington with Adriel Hampton, an amazing candidate [...]
