Last Century Middle Aged Celebrity Dating Tips
Photo: Quotes and Movies I am slightly embarrassed to admit that I'd never seen A Streetcar Named Desire, nor read the play it seems, despite definitely exploring Tennessee Williams (and William Inge, more below) in […]
TV 3
Nurse Jackie isn't top tier. I get it. Vulture has never recapped it and AV Club isn't covering this season. Sometimes it's hokey and a little on the nose. (I wanted to say chick lit-like […]

Mock Tales
There is a line of Crystal Light flavors based on cocktails ladies love like mojitos, pomtinis (I guess that's a thing?), and bellinis. And, there is an ad in either Family Circle or Good Housekeeping […]
