Weekend Snapshots: Bunnies & Undies Edition
Going to the mall with a toddler is both terrible and extremely fun. It’s terrible when you do things like accidentally stay one iota of a second longer than said toddler wants to walk or be in the stroller (that’s when Dad’s Shoulders – and Grumpy Dad – come into play) and when you announce “Let’s go get an Elsa toy!” only to discover that the Disney store has experienced a catastrophic run on anything and everything Frozen-related, leaving only a sad, sad display consisting of a shirt (size...

Like Madonna (Or…Something)
When I lived in London during my junior year of college, there was a bar that my girlfriends and I used to go to called – I think – Peppermint Park. Or something like that.
This place was not even a tiny bit cool: it served neon, flaming drinks that created hangovers practically before they were drunk (and served them with zero sense of irony), had low ceilings and balloons and streamers tossed around, was populated solely by us and a handful of creepy businessmen-types clustered around the ba...
Painted Rainbow
This happened last week, and it was so much fun, and I totally forgot to write about it. (If I’ve seemed slightly checked-out these past few days, there’s an extremely good reason for it – I’ll explain very soon.)
I used to be big on painting and drawing – I even went to art school during the summer of 1998 and spent hours and hours every day drawing naked people (an example, above) and painting fountains and buildings – but in the past few years…not so much. I really like it; I just…sort of f...

Spring Cleaning: Vanity Edition
I’ve said before that I have a pretty cluttered beauty cabinet…and here’s the hard evidence.
That is a lot of products.
And the truth is that I’ve used most of them at least once – I write about beauty a lot on RG (and elsewhere), and really do try to take as many products as I possibly can for a spin so that I’m reasonably well-versed in what’s out there and reasonably capable of making decently informed comparisons between brands.
But clutter makes me crazy, and what I need now in my life is l...
Coming Up Roses
Favorite new rose-colored finds for spring (clockwise from top left):
Elizabeth Arden Gloss in Rose Creme (pretty and natural alone; sheer and glossy over lipstick); NARS shadow in Abyssinia(perfect pale shade for all over lids); Elizabeth Arden Lipstick in Pale Petal (very mod, great pinky-neutral for all skin tones); Essie Polish in Fun In The Gondola; NARS Matte Multiple in Anguilla(a matte shade for cheeks and lips).

Hatched
This is the outfit I was wearing when I had my little mini-swoon on the way home from a shoot in the Village the other day. So that wasn’t fun. But whatwasfun was that when I stopped into a store to rest for a moment, the store owner took one look at what I was wearing and did one of those dramatic snap-things and said, “Nowthatis how you do pregnancy clothing.” Which was nice. Because I had been having a kind of terrible day, and to suddenly feel pretty and chic despite everything that was g...
