I love my dog. Some might even say I worship my dog. I've already dedicated a post or two to him and have been known to throw the gratuitous mention around in others. Anyway, the point is that most people know how much I love my dog (clearly, it's...

So, I don't know if you heard (because I'm kind of a big deal), but I went to Vegas this past weekend. Yup, somehow, through some strange rip in the fabric of the universe, it was decided that I was to hop on board a so-called "Party Plane" and booze...

So, I feel like I'm kind of late on this, but that's not something I can really help - this column is every Wednesday, and I came across this little nugget of Inner Life Fodder on Thursday. So, here I am, a week late, but apparently only a day...

Mirror, mirror, on the wall! Who's the vainest of them all?

Yesterday, while doing something decidedly un-vain, my thoughts happened to stumble upon Vanity as a topic for this column. A pretty relevant topic, considering yesterday's post, in which i subjected myself to the most unflattering "makeover" known to...

Listen up, everybody!

Stop what you're doing and look over here, because I have found the ultimate Internet time-waster. And by ultimate time-waster, I mean something that you'll think is funny for at least 30-40 minutes. In the latest of a long line of technological makeover innovations, Clairol -...

Last Tuesday marked the annual Robin Hood Foundation Gala. And I, by some mysterious twist of fate, got invited. If you're not familiar, Robin Hood is a New York-based charity of which 100% of their proceeds go to their causes. A star-studded Board of Directors, which includes Gwyneth Paltrow,...

So, I don't know if you've heard but there's this movie coming out today, called Sex And The City, and it's, like, about four women, but really just one, and her name is Carrie and she writes about sex. Well, for the 5 people out there who don't actually care...

A confession: I wear chipped nail polish. Currently, my nails are a bruise-y shade of peacock blue, with one chip on my left-hand index finger. I painted them myself last night. Tomorrow, there will be more chips and by end-of-day Saturday, they will look like several gerbils spent the afternoon...

We were given some bad, sad, and shocking news yesterday. It was announced that Ted Kennedy has been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. Terminal illness, or any announcement of imminent death (though it's still unclear how imminent--if at all--it is for Senator Kennedy), is always a bit...

In my daily perusing of the internet, I tend to come across some pretty funny things. Usually things inspire me to post a quick line or a link, but every now and then, I come across a gem that acts as the Tilda Swinton to my Viktor and Rolf, a...

It's a pretty well known fact that most women - attractive women - will happily date ugly men. We see it on TV -- in shows like King of Queens, though I would probably argue that Kevin James is kind of a stud, and really, that's exactly the point I...

Like every other lazy (and/or honest) human being out there, I'll gladly take the easy way over the hard one any day. So when I happened upon the utter amazingness that is Spiritual H2O (water, for those of you who, like me, skipped Chem 10), I fell to my...

As much as I've bemoaned The Secret and it's heretofore unbelievable existence, on Friday I asked, I believed, and let me tell you, did I ever receive!

In case you've never heard of it, I like to follow a little blog called Eater, and Eater likes to follow...

I wrote about sex last week and it (unsurprisingly) was a hot topic. Suprising, though, was the fact that everyone seemed to react, well, well -- which was great, because to be honest, I never have a clue to which way the comments are going to blow.

But back...

Somewhere between the immaculate conception and Pope Benedict XVI's US tour, God has worked his way into the bedroom.

I, for one, did not see it coming, nor did I see it happen. But that's the way it is with God, I suppose. One day he's frowning down upon...

The big news this week is that Pope Benedict XVI is here for a visit. (Whee! His spiritual journey coincides with my spiritual journey!) And as it turns out, he's finally decided to address that pesky altar-boy molestation thing. Touchy (zing!) subject, here we come.

"It is...

Have you ever wondered what exactly the deal is with Fundamentalist Mormon hair and the Little House On The Prairie-esque dresses?

Because I have.

And I've searched long and hard, far and wide to try and find something that would explain it to me. There were lots of...

I've been thinking about spirituality lately (duh), and I've realized that if there is one word that people don't (or won't) associate with spirituality, it's sexy. But why? Why can't spirituality be sexy? Well, my dear readers, as far as I'm concerned, it can. And so, I bring to you,...

Trend Alert! Pre-teens (tweens?) are getting their hair did. Yup, you heard me. The 9 year old down the street is getting high-lights and low-lights and chemical straightening. What is this world coming to?

I remember way back in 1995 (ha! mock me now), when I was 12, and...

Dear Kate Hudson,

I'm going to get right to the point. Can you please stop wearing really ugly wigs in your relatively mediocre movies?

Don't get me wrong. I'm a fan. A huge fan actually. I own Almost Famous (which is kind of a big deal, since the...
