As a twenty-something fixture on the Los Angeles scene, Tamara Shayne Kagel works as a freelance writer, personality, and blogger of the controversial Tattletales blog. Her story really begins when her parents led her to believe from a very young age that her looks, talent, and abilities are far superior to what they indeed may be. Her hobbies include lawyerly things, since she was admitted by the California State Bar to practice law in December 2011. In that same month, she received her yoga alliance teacher certification to teach power yoga and finished her first non-fiction book. She is also semi-retired from her life as a professional ballet dancer, having performed as a company member in Los Angeles Choreographers and Dancers. However, she is fully retired from a storied career as a fine dining waitress, which includes being fired only three times.

Despite being reprimanded for her salacious blog, she obtained a juris doctor degree from Pepperdine University School of Law in May 2011. She received her undergraduate degree from Northwestern University where she was twice the Vice President of Associated Student Government, and still denies all allegations made about her in The Daily Northwestern.

Tamara has spent the last few years searching the Los Angeles jungle for love, happiness, and a career that will get her off her parent’s cell phone plan. According to Tamara, “I hope that sharing all the exploits of being young, pretty, and fabulous will lead to fame and fortune. Otherwise, I plan to marry well.” Find out more about her by visiting her website, or subscribing to her blog, or following her on twitter @TamaraSKagel.

I found out through the grapevine that a boyfriend of a friend of mine recently cheated on my friend (with a hooker in Las Vegas nonetheless!). After much deliberation, I've finally decided I am not going to tell her.

I feel a bit like a traitor to my kind and...

Mobile Manners

3 Comments | Posted February 1, 2012 | 02/01/12 12:19 PM ET

Have you noticed that when you make plans with someone, you almost never really make plans with them? You essentially make plans to talk with them on the phone at a certain time from a certain location. This drives me crazy. If we're meeting at 6:30 and we're both on...

How to Throw an Awesome Bachelorette Party

2 Comments | Posted January 24, 2012 | 01/24/12 01:02 PM ET

Being in your late 20s means that bachelorette parties are a regular part of your social calendar. The problem is, most bachelorette parties SUCK. They're often boring, uninspired, unoriginal, expensive, lame and there's nothing do to but drink and regret it later. In fact, if one more girl asks me...

A few weeks ago, my boyfriend let it slip that he was titillated by another woman. It was an accident and he tried to take it back quickly, but it's been lingering in the air ever since.

It's Our Money, Honey!

My boyfriend and I haven't even been dating a year and we're already fighting about a divorce settlement. Not our divorce settlement, but everyone else's. He seems to think that Kobe Bryant's wife is not entitled to the $75 million dollars she is likely to get. And I am outraged.
