Public Image and What Others Really See

January 11, 2011

On NBC’s Today, Meredith Vieira interviewed stars and the writer of The Social Network as part of the movie’s store release today.

Mark: Why Ruin it for the Rest of Us?

September 27, 2010

The Social Network is opening soon. I’m going to see this movie, but it kind of makes me mad that I’ll be going to see it. Facebook and all it’s drama seems to represent the end of the Gen Y spectrum that makes me shudder. Mark, you drive me crazy. There are a lot of […]

We Are Women, Embrace It

May 13, 2010

When Was the Last Time You Did It?

April 5, 2010

Cooking I mean. If you watch television, you’d think we’re all obsessed. Everything from the entire Food Network, down to the Top Chefs and Hell’s Kitchens among us, it’s all right there. We think that we can don the white coat and give ourselves three Michelin stars. When was the last time you actually cooked? […]

Don’t Even Talk to Me about the Trophy

March 23, 2010

I was a ballerina growing up. Sure, I played a number of other sports, but anywhere from 4-16 hours a week was spent in a dance studio. I was never in a location long enough to compete, so the “competition” moments for me would be at the annual dance recital. I’d be a part of […]
