Dude. 
Dude. 
(Just had to say it twice).
Last night Jessica and I had hit the Glendale Mann for “This Is It”- the much anticipated Michael Jackson movie. No worries- no spoilers here. Lots of concert prep, dancing, singing and all the hits. Oh, and the underlying fact that MJ is dead. Whoa. 
The Mann was surprisingly empty- with [...]

You may notice that this is a list of two. But they are such powerful pet peeves that I feel justified in making this nonetheless. Here they are, my two least favorite voices of all time:

Or does the universe seem utterly bizarre and jacked up right now??? A few of the things that have gone down lately: 
1) My mom’s husband fell and busted his knee
2) Someone I know got urgently and immediately divorced
3) People are breaking up left and right 
4) One of my close friends was hit in the head [...]

Did you guys know that Vera Wang, queen of the bridal gown, is gonna be 60 (and might go on Dancing with the Stars, amazing)?
Why does that seem so crazy to me?

Tell me something - is it surprising that a girl wants to go to the Erotica LA Convention?
That’s what I’m wondering. Because I’m going to be covering it for LAist, and so far, in my communication with the guys (yes, guys) who are helping to coordinate our coverage, the fact that I’m a woman and [...]
