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 [...]

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 [...]

Youngening: It's true! We're all getting younger!

Posted in 23andMe, Fashion, Humor, Rants, Shopping, Weight, tagged , , , , on June 2, 2009 | 3 Comments »

Forty is the new thirty.  Fifty is the new forty.  Twenty one is the new eighteen.  In fact, my hormones are skyrocketing to adolescent levels even as I type. It’s the new math.  And Lord knows, I’ve never been much good at math. Funny.  I’m not much good at getting younger as I age, either. [...]

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 [...]

Put some clothes on!!!

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 [...]

Weight Watchers Weigh In Update #1

Posted in Beauty, Diet, Exercise, Fashion, Food, Laughs, Neurosis, Weight, tagged , , , , on February 25, 2009 | 1 Comment »

Weight Watchers. The two most terrifying words in the English language.  (Though I suppose that “Compassionate Conservative” and “Hairy Back” might be contenders.) And yet here I am, once again, doing the WW.  Counting the points, weighing the portions,trying to decide if a deck of cards (the proper size of a serving a meat) is [...]

Lessons Learned from a Really Bad Cold

If any of you checks in regularly, you may have noticed that I haven’t posted in a while.  I’d love to tell you that it’s because I’ve been busy fending off offers for my recently completed manuscript.  But the only offers I’ve had lately are for subscriptions to More magazine — you know, the one [...]

Patagonia Ruined my Magic Pants!

Posted in Fashion, Rants, tagged , on October 31, 2008 | 2 Comments »

I like to refer to my lululemon pants as my “magic pants.” They make my butt look small.  That, ladies and gentlemen, is magic.  They make my stomach look flat.  That is not just magic, it’s miraculous.  Every time I wear them, someone asks me if I’ve lost weight.  That is spectacular.  It’s even better [...]
