But I’m more interested in the Jessica/Tony breakup than I really should be.  I’m a self-professed reality show whore and The Newlywed’s was at the top of the list… And now with Tony and Vanessa fleeing the scene could we be in for a Newleywed’s Part II.
A girl can hope.

“Collecting” women older than I am.  Sometime last year when I started to notice my first wrinkles and began to feel the weight of Father Time on my ass, I took a look online in search of beautiful, empowered, strong and older (but not that much older than I am) women.

Peter just wrote back

I took my chances and have written one (slightly more edgy than I would have sent Len but less edgy than I would have sent Peter) email.

I want to write a follow up email to Len and Peter (see previous Pinch Yourself blog entry) and I’m stumped.  On the one hand, as a career expert (and every-day, overly busy emailer) I know that if you write an email to two people each will expect the other is responding [...]

I’m not sure what’s scarier…that I just wasted 2 hours watching 17 Again or that the dad is younger than I am with teenage kids.  I saw Michelle Trachtenberg (the actress playing the daughter) in Herve Leger on Rodeo earlier this summer and could have sworn she was “about my age” – sadly not about [...]

OK – so I (along with every other Canadian) am a Tim Horton’s coffee FANATIC!! Literally as soon as I get off a flight and land anywhere in the Great White North it is my very first stop. And, get this…the first location has opened in Manhattan! Dragging Kimmy and my business partner Michael Loeb [...]
