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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Swimsuit season is upon us.  And with it the onslaught of diet ads on tv, magazines with pics of celebs caught having actual cellulite, and me, bemoaning my post-partum, post-forty, past passing for anything but middle-aged body. Though I am, if I am completely, intellectually honest, neither truly fat, or particularly unattractive, I have made [...]

Genes vs Jeans

Posted in 23andMe, Beauty, Fashion, Genetics, Humor, tagged on May 21, 2009 | 2 Comments »

They either make my butt look too big, or too broad. They accentuate my gut or give me muffin top.  They are jeans.  The bane of my existence.  My dream is to be able to look good in a white t-shirt, a pair of jeans, and some flip flops.  But it seems that my genes [...]

Leave Carrie Prejean Alone!

Posted in Beauty, Parenting, Rants, tagged , , on May 9, 2009 | 1 Comment »

So Carrie Prejean, the controversial Miss California USA (not for long?) once posed for nude photos.  Is anyone out there surprised?  Let’s face it, these days, there are LOTS of girls sending nude photos of themselves out over the internet.  One of them is even being prosecuted for distribution of child pornography – for sending [...]

Put some clothes on!!!

Posted in Aging, Beauty, Fashion, Humor, Laughs, Rants, tagged , , , , on April 28, 2009 | 7 Comments »

This week, summer prematurely came to New York and with it, came a few discoveries.  1. People on the East Side spend a lot of time on their knees, while people on the West Side spend a lot of time on their food.  How else to explain the plethora of tulips, hyacinths, and daffodils sprouting [...]
