Duran Duran and Willy Wonka: I’m Retro!

Posted in Aging, tagged , , , , , , , on October 28, 2011 | 3 Comments »

You know you’re old when your childhood faves are now retro cool. This was brought home to me the past few weeks by two very different events: meeting and interviewing the original cast and director of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, in honor of their 40th anniversary (yikes) and the release of the Ultimate [...]

Accepting that I’m Never Going to Accept My Body

Posted in Aging, Beauty, tagged , , , , , , , on July 28, 2011 | 16 Comments »

I am never going to love my body just the way it is, and that’s OK.  Let me explain: Yesterday, I read this post about a woman struggling with her post-baby body.  What struck me about the piece was that this struggle is new for her. She talks about how she never had body image [...]

Memories of My Year (as A)broad

Posted in Aging, Family, Travel, Uncategorized, tagged , , on August 31, 2010 | 1 Comment »

Lots of college students spend a year abroad.  I spent two years as a broad.  In Paris, in my twenties.  And lately, I’ve been reminiscing all about it.  See, I’m planning a trip to Paris next spring with my mother and my daughter.  And it’s been so long since I’ve been there.  And I SO [...]

Is Decluttering the same as Saying Goodbye?

Posted in Aging, Family, Kids, Neurosis, Parenting, tagged , , , on August 24, 2010 | 3 Comments »

Not too long ago, I went on a cleaning binge.  One of the things I threw out was a poster-sized blow up of a picture of me from my wedding.  My husband had blown up pictures from several different stages of my life to decorate the room in which he threw me a surprise 40th [...]

It’s the Away Part of Sleepaway Camp that Gets to Me

Posted in Aging, Family, Kids, Parenting, tagged , on June 11, 2010 | 2 Comments »

In fourteen days, my kids will leave for sleepaway camp.  You’d think I’d be excited.  They are going to have this incredible experience, make lifelong friends, enjoy the mountains, and a lake, and the camaraderie that’s practically exclusive to being at camp. You’d think I’d be looking forward to having some time alone with my [...]

Sex in the City 2 – You’re pissing me off

Posted in Aging, Beauty, Fashion, tagged , , on May 25, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

The crazy blind dates. The long curly hair. The constant wondering when (and if) I would find Mr. Right. The cosmos. Other than the shoes and the rampantly indiscriminate sex, I could relate to Carrie’s life in the HBO hit series Sex in the City. Of course by the time the show aired I was [...]

(Pole Dancing + Trapeze) x major hair-cut = Midlife Crisis

Posted in Aging, Beauty, Exercise, Health, Humor, Laughs, tagged , , , , , , , on May 14, 2010 | 3 Comments »

I think I’m having a midlife crisis. Why else would I have cut off my hair, gone Pole Dancing and and taken a trapeze class all in the last month? Yep, that’s me on the trapeze…though not me (I mean , seriously) on the pole. I think it all started with my 7th annual 39th [...]

Freebie for Meebie: Dermalogica NYC

Posted in Aging, Beauty, Reviews, Shopping, Skin Care, tagged , on May 5, 2010 | 1 Comment »

I have often been annoyed at the fact that while I spend a fair amount of time writing this blog, I earn a whole lotta nothing for doing so. My friend from Beccarama told me that her husband says that there’s no way a whole bunch of men would be writing all of this stuff [...]

Avon Reversalist: Product Review

Posted in Aging, Beauty, Reviews, Shopping, Skin Care, tagged , , on April 23, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

So it’s no secret that I’m none too thrilled with the state of my skin.  But neither am I willing to spend a bazillion dollars on creams and lotions for it.  I guess the bottom line is, I just don’t believe that it makes all that much of a difference which product you use – [...]

Ageless Body? Yeah, right.

Posted in Aging, Beauty, Husbands, Laughs, Neurosis, Weight on June 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Long ago, I discovered the secret to buying (passably) flattering bathing suits: the worse you look the more you pay. (Hence, the Karla Coletto bazillion dollar(and worth every penny) bathing suit.)  I then learned the secret to feeling young and attractive: hang out with the septaugenarians.  I’ve bemoaned the new fahion-math: in Hollywood, size six [...]
