Ugh. I have to be up at 5 a.m. tomorrow so that I can go to the gym and then make it into the city by 8 a.m. so I can attend an Academy of Art University teaching conference.
With BART acting so slow and annoying lately (and considering I am at the end of the [...]

So I just bought my plane ticket and registered for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York. And I don’t even know if I could afford all of it!
Well, lucky for me, I will not only be covering fashion week, but I will also be staying at the Hotel Le Bleu in Brooklyn and doing a [...]

This is so wrong. A couple of weeks ago, my friend Jen sent and article I wrote years ago when I worked for The Battalion at Texas A&M University titled, “Fall Fashion: What’s HOT & What’s NOT”.
Yes, I went to one of the most conservative universities in the nation and no, I don’t know [...]

Here’s a little article write up I did with the kids from “American Teen” - it’s less bloggy and more magazine-like

I’ve been watching…
I haven’t watched any first-run movies lately, but I have been getting well-acquainted with my DVD player and nostalgic entertainment…
