At Least I Don’t Wear Mom Jeans
I’ve always bemoaned the lack of short (chin-length not cropped) hair images in magazines. I just like having something to reference when I’m getting a haircut (as I did the week before last in order […]
Behind Closed Doors
Murder is rare in my immediate neighborhood (I won’t say zip code since Carroll Gardens and Red Hook are totally different beasts—it looks like there were five 11231 murders in 2008). It’s not something I […]

Carol Channing Brings Everyone Closer Together
“A Reunion, and a Carol Channing Puppet.” Ok, a title like that is begging to be clicked. This ended up being an un-sexual non-annoying funny missed connections story, totally the opposite of that subway sham […]
