Well, This is Embarrassing

You are here and we are not!  Yep, we're caught red-handed, getting a little R & R with family and friends.  Back in January with some really cool features including a cooking session with the two brilliant chefs from La Jolla's Marine Room (who taught me how to make the rockin' pomegranate cocoa martini on left). Cheers and have a wonderful holiday! 

Just Because I'm Worth It!

I've been thinking that the celebrity obsessed People Magazine is really kind of boring these days - who are all those "stars" anyways?  And, are reality contestants really that interesting?  It's one thing to feature a bore who has talent - but a bore who's just a bore?  

Well, just when you thought People was getting too trivial, now there's People Pets!  The headlines say it all. This week's cover story "Pets Wear Wigs! Can you tell it's a hairpiece?"  We're told the wearer of this pink mop top, pictured above, is "Chucky." Thanks for the introduction. 

Midlife Crisis Management

I’m sure this will draw a few gasps from some of you, but I have been feeling extremely restless lately. Kind of like a cat on a hot tin roof. And I hate cats. Here’s the thing: I no longer want to be a mom/wife in the traditional sense. I mean I am fine with the sex and the conversation; it’s just the day to day aspect of the job.  And it is a job. This in no way means that I don’t love my husband and my two teenage sons. On the contrary, I love them so much, but sometimes I wonder if I was really cut out to be a “wife/mom” and all that entails.

Goat Hooves Have Arrived for Spring!

Yep, that’s right. The fashion designers who detest women have come up with a new, supremely ugly item for spring.  Just what we fashionistas have been waiting for: tights bottomed off with faux animal hooves!  Thank you house of Balenciaga!

I first noticed these ultra hideous Balenciaga outfits in the New York Times Style Magazine that just came out.   What’s next?  A hat that offers a craggily crow beak?  A necklace dangling a dead cat’s tale? Pedal pushers supported by a well worn plunger?  Keep the great ideas a-comin’ guys.

The Man Rules

My husband was e-mailed this by a friend today and he forwarded it to me.  I live in a household of males as I also have two sons and I can say it's funny and true!     It is apparently "a guy's side of the story -  "the rules" from the male side.  It advises readers at the beginning "These are our rules!  Please note, these are all numbered '1' on purpose!"  

1.   Men are NOT mind readers. 1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down. 1. Sunday sports It's like the full moon  Or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
