There’s no denying it: I was born for school. Chemistry? Fire up that bunson burner and hand over the fire pants, Mr. Konig. I’m ready to mix and mingle (some soluble liquids, that is). Art History? I’m all over those frescoes like white on rice. C’mon, you can’t really think I know about stigmata from … Continue reading Head of the Class
Yeah, yeah. We talk about 50 Shades (maybe) too much on the Festivus. But surprise, surprise: Muffy is not. over. it. Perhaps you haven’t heard, but we Feinbergs recently wiled away an entire week in the land of cheese-eating surrender monkeys drinking crisp white wine and reading aloud about the KING of crisp white wine….. … Continue reading Bared to You: How to out-pervert E.L.

Allow me to shed some Festivus light on HBO ‘s latest homerun: the Julia Louis-Dreyfus vehicle Veep. Before we get into anything else, let me point out that Veep heralds the return of one Anna Chlumsky, aka Vada Sultenfuss from the early 90’s tearjerker My Girl. Classic stuff. Veep revolves around Vice President Selina Meyer, … Continue reading Creepy Veepy

A little while back, Bayzoos (i’m feeling phonetic today) penned an ode to Pinterest, the online scrapbooking tool that has recently become a hotter topic of conversation among 20-60 something females than menstrual cycles, bitchy friends, LIARS, and low-carb diets. Today I gave up on being the lone holdout in my cohort and gave Pinterest … Continue reading Svpply > Pinterest

Weekend gallery hopping in west Chelsea is a chic, cheap way to spend a Saturday. Problem is, lots of people get intimidated by galleries. What gallery do I go to? Is it open to the public? What exactly am I looking at? Word to the wise: nobody really knows what they’re looking at. Art is … Continue reading A Gallerina’s Guide to Gallery-Hopping
Senorita Bezusita and Admiral Psychoballs put forth some strong contenders for the best movie scenes of all time. But my picks clearly take the cake. Also, bonus points to me for getting to watch the Oscars on Sunday with Linda, Larry, and the shmooples after a nice long swedish massage at Oasis Day Spa. Take … Continue reading Aaaand…. scene.
