A Girls’ Guide To Whiskey, Vol. 1: Getting Started

by LauraOctober 14, 2010 Food and Booze

What’s a nice girl like you doing with a drink like that?  A whiskey, when by all rights you should be fingering the stems of a lady-like sauvignon blanc. Or maybe a glass of water. ‘Cause it’s noon. On Sunday. [...]

Get Your Damn Hands Up: Last Night’s Jay-Z Show At Yankee Stadium

by LauraSeptember 14, 2010 Activities

Sometimes in life, you just know. And yesterday morning, upon waking, I just knew that if I didn’t find and purchase a last minute ticket to the Jay-Z/Eminem concert at Yankee Stadium and instead sat home on my couch in Jersey City [...]

‘Sup to a Sandal-less Summer

by LauraAugust 17, 2010 Fashion

So it’s mid-August and it’s safe to say that I will successfully make it to fall without  owning or purchasing a pair of flip-flops all summer. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a flop. They’re easy, cute, and casual, but [...]

The Gel Manicure Experience

by LauraJuly 20, 2010 Beauty

I can probably count on one sausage-fingered paw how many times I’ve treated myself to a manicure, but when I do go get one, I’m always like, “Dayum gurl! Why you been making those pretty babies suffer so long?!” That [...]

Adopting A Puppy: I Did It.

by LauraJune 8, 2010 Living

A year ago Monday, on June 7th, 2009, my son was born. And two months after that, I bought him in someone’s kitchen, tearing him away from his family, never to be reunited again. Happy birthday, Burger!
I really didn’t [...]

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not the most recipe-inclined bird on the block.  I can bake the shit out of a lasagna…or throw a little peanut sauce on some ground turkey, wrap it [...]

New York City Adjacent Trails. So Take a Hike, Holmes.

by LauraMarch 30, 2010 Activities

Upon arriving home from California, I got drenched in a downpour with my luggage and punched in the face with a nasty head cold, so yeah, this place blows. But for the sake of this article, let’s pretend that better [...]

To The Left. Coast.

by LauraMarch 4, 2010 Activities

For the safety of myself and the people around me, I need to get the fuck on outta here for a minute.  I’ve never fought anyone in my life, but I’m pretty sure I’m a good week away from murdering [...]

Fake It to Make It

by LauraFebruary 2, 2010 Entertaining

No, not love-making related faking.  I know you might have thought that since The Holiday is upon us. But yeah no, I’m not really going to write anything about that. Not in, like, a bitter way or anything.  It’s just [...]

Breast in Show

by LauraNovember 3, 2009 Beauty

I’ll be honest, I can’t remember the last time I bought a bra.  Like a calendar, or socks, bras are something my mom buys me from Marshalls every Christmas so I don’t have to.  Needless to say, my bras may [...]

iReview: I am T-Pain

by LauraSeptember 17, 2009 Art, Media, and Entertainment

So, I know T-Pain might not be the most “respected” “musician”, and that he’s sorta “incapable” of “hitting” “notes” “naturally”, and that maybe I “can’t” “reach” all the “parts” of my “body”, but the new “I Am T-Pain” iPhone app [...]
