I’m hungry. Like, “seriously could eat three cheeseburgers and a bucket of french fries” hungry. My co-workers and I ordered lunch from this Cuban place that’s delicious but never fails to get our order wrong. Today, instead of arroz con pollo, we got marinated fish with salad. Talk about a letdown! One of our […]

This past weekend I went to a party in Brooklyn with my girls Coco and Gina. As I was stuffing my face with cupcakes, I asked my friends, “What you would do if you couldn’t get pregnant. Would you adopt children a la Angelina Jolie?”
“Um, I don’t want to give birth at all! Your vagina […]

The whole idea of spraying on makeup sort of weirds me out. I understand how it gives a more flawless finish, but…you’re spraying your makeup on! Odd, no crees? Well, there’s an easy way to test your thoughts on this process: Dior Airflash Spray Foundation ($60, sephora.com). You find your shade, then spray the stuff […]

I love cosmetics brands with a sense of humor. The names of Essie nail polishes, the genius monikers given to each new Benefit beauty product–I loves ‘em! Howevah, every now and then there’s a product name which toes the oh-so fine line between sacrilegious and pure genius. I’ve recently come across a product whose name […]

No one wants to die alone. It’s everyone’s biggest fear, right? I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately because of a recent run-in I had with an old amiga.The other day I bumped into “Still Single Simone.” We used to work together, which is when I realized that homegirl needs to get her act […]

Hola! Today–because it continues to be sweltering hot here in NYC–I’ve been thinking about deodorant. More specifically, I hate the white streaks that it leaves on my clothes. I remember that as a teenager, I’d try all those clear deodorants and they just never cut it. I’d rather worry about wiping white gook off my […]

To all you chicas on the East Coast, I have one thing to say: How hot is it outside? I’ve been doing all I can to keep my makeup from running down my face in this blazing weather. And lipgloss? That’s become a problem, as most of them bleed outside my liplines and onto my […]

I’m one of the bazillions of people who are hooked on Proactiv Solutions. Yes, that info-mercialized skincare system which is most famous for the celebrities who endorse it (Jessica Simpson, Alicia Keys and the fabulous Vanessa “Wilhelmina” Williams, among others). I discovered it during my college years, but I’ve had noticeable pimples littering my face […]

This past weekend I was on assignment for a story. I had to pretend to act drunk and flirt with men…and women! Yup, I actually get paid for doing loca things like this.
My photographer and I stopped into Henrietta Hudson, a well known lesbian club in the city. Pardon my ignorance, but being raised […]
