Put some Clothes On!

Posted in Beauty, Fashion, Laughs, Rants, tagged , , on July 9, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

I am old. Not because of  my saggy knees, or brown spots, or my elbows that look as if they’ve been crumpled up in the back of a drawer for a few decades.  No, I am old because I am horrified by what “young girls” are wearing. (plus, I refer to anyone under thirty as [...]

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 | 2 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 – [...]

Hair: Another Obsession

Posted in Beauty, Hair, tagged , , , on April 15, 2010 | 1 Comment »

As any of you who read my blog already know – I am obsessed with my body.  How bad it is. How flabby.  How wrinkled and aging.  Lest you think that makes me one-dimensional, shallow, know that  what I haven’t written about so much is my nearly equal obsession with my hair. When I was [...]

You Need a New Bra!

Posted in Beauty, Fashion, Laughs, Reviews, Shopping, tagged , , , on January 14, 2010 | 10 Comments »

I have big boobs. That’s just a fact.  And lest you think I’m bragging about it, let me tell you the truth about big boobs: after you have children, after you nurse children, after gravity takes its toll, after forty, big boobs are saggy boobs.  Perky and 36DD are simply not words you hear together, [...]

I met Jillian Michaels about ten days ago at a publicity event run by my friends at Role Mommy.  She was talking about  her newest Wii Fit game, Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum 2010. (coming out Tuesday on Wii and at the end of the month for DSi.) She was funny, charming, and so incredibly rrrrrripped  [...]

My New Favorite Swimsuit Company

Posted in Beauty, Fashion, Reviews, Shopping, tagged , , , on August 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

I’ve written quite a bit about Karla Colletto – the fabulously expensive and fabulously flattering swimsuit that actually managed to make me feel less than disgusting on the beach last summer.   But notice that first “fabulously?”  The expense of a KC bathing suit is a bit daunting — upwards of $200 dollars to start. So [...]
