It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake. Frederick Douglass

Deck the Halls With Costumes... Halloween or otherwise...

Deck the Halls With Costumes… Halloween or otherwise…

Happy Halloween! When I was a kid this used to be one of my favorite holidays. My mom always went the extra mile with my costumes… and I definitely “assumed the role” of whatever I dressed up on any given year. It was an awesome transformation. I guess things don’t really change that much when...

  I can’t believe how fast October flew by. I have all this crazy stuff scheduled for November that I’ve been putting off… yikes! Time to get focused. I had more to tell you about this morning. Some random insights…. but I’m already about an hour behind where I’m supposed to be. Anyway….I couldn’t let...

  For whatever reason I could NOT sleep last night… I always get a little cabid-feversih this time of year…. Hence the 2am phone conversations/ emails about capitalism, physics and the American Dream… Anyway,  I’m ready to pack my pink and green suitcase and jet off somewhere without explanation. One place that’s always fun to...

All Charged Up

I know all about expensive bags… at one point in my life I had a weakness for buttery soft Coach leather… anyway, I’ve come to a point in my life where I think that if a bag is going to cost over $100, it should do more than just hold my stuff… I mean, ideally it would...

    Happy October 25th! I can’t believe how fast fall went… I mean… I’m in the process of making plans for the Holidays!! It seems like just yesterday I was laying out on my roof-deck working on my tan. Now all I have left are tan lines… fading reminders of my crazy summer. Anyway…...

  Pay what you can (you should really contribute something… especially since you’ll have this CD on repeat!), download and enjoy. Besides, it’s Friday… great cruising music! I promise you will love these mixes! Oh yeah, be sure to check GT out on NPR (yes, J… NPR… and yes Mike, I referenced J in yet...

Bag it, Tag it (yes, that’s a Phish reference…)

I SERIOUSLY need a vacation. Anyway, I’m running around like a crazy person today. On days like this, I’m always grateful for an amazing bag. You know, the kind that can be stuffed with: case-files, a change of clothes, make-up, that amazing book you’re reading, iPod, phone, wallet…. For that reason, I thought I’d write...

  So as not to bore you with my day… I’m going to skip straight to the fashion… I imagine I’ll have time to write tomorrow… but my trips to Chelsea always throw me for a loop. Seeing as  you’ve listened to all of BunnyGreenhouse’s mixes ( I told you that you’d dance!) I figured...

Yesterday was the first day in a looooong time I felt totally, 100% SPENT. I stared at my desk at work, covered with file folders and to-do lists and at my inbox for this site filled with invites to amazing fashion shows and parties (I really am trying to make the VS thing work) and...

Canni get a Jenni?

Somehow I thought this week was the last week of October… which had me running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off (that scene in Babel still gets to me….) anyway, phew! Nice to know I have that week back. As the cold air starts to set in here in Boston, I’m getting...
Dear Pruitt,

Dear Pruitt,

    My heat was officially on all weekend (don’t worry, it comes with the rent). It always takes me a while to adjust to the fall: less sunlight, colder temperatures, in fact… now that I think about it…. why don’t I live somewhere warm again?? Anyway, I guess there are a few good things...

One to Watch: Ndoema

The other day I was sitting on the subway reading when a bunch of high school girls crammed on the train. Now, I know this is going to make me sound old, but it has to be said… What the &%$# is wrong with kids these days? It’s liked I walked out of work and...
