Now I’m just a city girl born and bred, and for some stupid reason I get nervous when my shoes (and the rest of me) leave Manhattan. I dunno, maybe it’s that famous Steinberg Cartoon image stuck in my head. The one that’s a quasi map that shows everything outside of New York is just <... >
I saw Aliens of the Deep last night. It’s an IMAX movie about James Cameron’s expeditions under deep and I do mean deep ocean water. The weird thing about IMAX movies is that they give you these really weird glasses so when you’re watching the film, everything feels 3D. And it does, I found myself <... >
There is a new line of body care and home collection that you just have to try for yourself. i-bella is a line that combines vitamins C and E and protects your skin from sun damage. The i-bella products contain the same fantastic fresh scent in all of their products. It’s the perfect winter perk-up. <... >
Oh my gosh, where did the month go? Someone please tell me. If you are as absent minded as I am, today might be the day for you to start thinking about Valentine’s Day gifts. It’ll be in the front of your mind, you can get it over with, and when the day comes up, <... >
How did you like the Blizzard of ’05? I wasn’t thrilled with it, but Sophie the Wonder Dog loved it. She’s only 17″ high, and was flinging herself in and out of snowdrifts twice her size. She kept zigging and zagging down the street, burying her nose into the snow, raising it and then laughing. <... >
I was walking down the street yesterday, minding my own business, when I noticed a man unloading pink Vespas from a truck. I stopped so fast, that three people bumped into me (don’t try this at home). I was transfixed and didn’t mind that I had accidentally done a 360 on the sidewalk. PINK! Beauteous <... >
Last night was “Project Runway” night, was it on in your house? You know I couldn’t stay away, even with a deadline looming up at me; I just had to plonk myself on the couch and find out if this was the week that Wendy finally got the boot. I’m still reeling in shock that <... >
If the cold is getting you down, you need to rev up your muscles and sweat a little. Wednesday nights the Star Club has swing dancing complete with a big band; Joe Battaglia and his 18-piece NY Big Band. Grab your partner and do the Lindy! What: Swing Dancing @ The Star Club When: Every <... >
Saturday night I went to the Tribeca Grand to see the Kaiser Chiefs. They’re a hot new band from Leeds, England. The music is bight and shiny Britpop. Listen very closely, and you’ll swear you’ll hear a smidgen of Madness, Thin Lizzy, some wonky but fun 60′s garage, and a dram of the early Who’s <... >
Tuesday I became a grape. I have nothing against fruit; love grapes, love purple, just not on my head. I went to a salon recommended by a friend and came home with other-worldly colored hair. Can we say, “Loathsome?” I knew we could. I cried, I screamed and I hid. I spent hours in the <... >
It’s just about the middle of the month; have you kept your New Year’s resolutions? Or have you decided that it just wasn’t worth it. Send me an email telling me about your resolution progress. I’d love to know how you’re doing or if you decided that you didn’t want to do it after all. <... >
This weather is playing havoc with everyone’s hair. The snow, rain and humidity just doesn’t make a girl or guy’s hair want to behave. When I went to Ouidad to get my hair cut, I picked up her Climate Control thinking I’d use it later on in the year when it got warmer. I am <... >

The shop is located in Carroll Gardens and it’s a veritable treasure trove of hats. Not only will you find ready-made hats for every season and every event, milliner Guy <... >

Loew’s Cinemas are having Free Movie Thursdays. Just go to the website www.enjoytheshow.com/favorites/ , sign up and you’ll get passes to see re-releases <... >
I have to make a confession; I am obsessed with Project Runway. Wednesday nights at 9 PM, everything in my house stops for that show. We even have rituals. All snacks are made before the show starts. All calls are either made during commercial breaks or after the show airs. Meg (my roomie), Diana (from <... >
I am your guinea pig! Did you know that before I tell you about a fab new product I am road testing it at home? Yup. I’ve been known to torture friends, roommates and total strangers asking them what they think of something I’m trying. Occasionally, some poor soul wanders into my apartment, and before <... >
Did someone say “free wine?” Morell & Company has it. Now before you go crazy, the wines are for complimentary in-store tastings. These events occur four nights a week, from 4 PM – 7 PM. Morell also holds special tastings. To attend a special tasting, you must make a reservation and the cost varies from <... >
It’s a brand new year. We can accomplish anything and everything we have ever wanted to this year. We can be our own heroes and heroines. Whatever we’ll do, we’ll be fabulous. If you’ve decided that you want to volunteer this year, have you thought about fostering an animal? New York City Animal Care and <... >
I was listening to the news the other day, when I heard an interesting tidbit that I thought I’d pass along to you. It seems that the popularity of online dating services is on the wane. The main reason cited, was that people misrepresented themselves. DOH! If the news reporters had only been on a <... >
