Thanksgiving is a Time for Epic Calorie Consumption
Do you need some ideas on how to consume a disgusting amount of guilt-free calories for Thanksgiving? Well you came to the right place. No, that isn’t a carrot cake pictured above — it’s a Thanksgiving Turkey Cake. Layers of sweet potatoes, ground turkey, stuffing and a sour cream mash potato “icing” make this concoction...
Doing Somersaults in My Office
I walked into work today and this was waiting for me on my desk: Let me explain why this snack food is significant in my life. For one, they are just awesome. Eating one delectable Somersault nugget is like ingesting a salted piece of heaven mixed with grains and seeds. Despite my adoration for these,...
The Throes of Fashion Week Insanity
For the dozen or so readers I have out there, I have not been posting lately because: 1.) I have been getting ready for the first week of school. 2.) I have been procrastinating a handful of articles and blog posts that I am supposed to be doing. 3.) I have started to train for...
San Francisco’s ‘Heatpocalypse’
I like how you can add “-pocalypse” to anything and it becomes a revelatory Armageddon-like crisis. For example, remember when there were heaps of snow on the East Coast in February and they called it “Snowpocalypse”? That was kind of cool — but not as cool as the term, “douchepocalypse” which I think originated from...
Vajazzles, Woo-hoos and Luxury Muffs
I don’t know if it’s just in the zeitgeist or if it is a glossy trend, but the crotch area of a female has been the it thing as of late. First there was the whole vajazzle thing; then there is that new jam “Woo-hoo” by Christina Aguilera with a rhyme spitting Nicki Minaj talking...

Conan O’Brien and I Have the Same Taste in Ikea Area Rugs
Did everyone see the in-depth interview with Conan O’Brien on 60 Minutes on Sunday? If not, you can watch it on CBSNews.com. But that’s beside the point. The most important thing that came from that segment was the shot of Conan and friends in a room that had black Ikea area rugs marked with little...
F-BOM: The Best Commencment Speech Ever
The First Blog O’ the Morning is courtesy of Bertha via my Facebook feed. This young gentleman’s speech was so clever, insightful and humorous that if I were guaranteed a speech like this after my completion of higher education, I would do it all over again. OK. Not really – but it is a pretty...

Blackberry camera archives
I tend to take random pictures on my Blackberry and never know what the hell to do with them. Then it donned on me, “Why don’t I just post them on my blog as enjoyable filler?” Waiting for FELA! at New York City’s Eugene O’Neill Theatre. Backstage make-up area for the Academy of Art University...
Tales from my trip to New York Fashion Week
I went to New York for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week (which would explain my absence) – but I wasn’t necessarily there in the “fashion journalist” capacity. In the past, I went there to cover the shows and be a spazz jumping around from tent to tent; venue to venue – but now that I am reppin’...
