In college one of my best friends, a curvy Greek girl with big curly hair and the fashion sense of an 18th century pin up, bedded Ralph Fiennes. I remember the text I got at like 7am: "I FUCKED VOLDEMORT AND IT WAS GLORIOUS." Apparently he enjoys Brazillian dancing and overpriced drinks in NYC, as well as charismatic…

In all seriousness, though, the Times piece didn't cover anything about our process. There is an extensive questionnaire for parents about how their kid currently eats, and from that we come up with recipes geared both to appeal to them (so they will eat it) and will also be a little healthier (so they will be…

I met my bf on OKC too. We never would have met otherwise, we live an hour apart and are both busy with creative projects in our own towns but we've managed to make it work by alternating weekends.
I was just about to give up on the online process when I decided to send him a message and it worked - we met and that…

Met my boyfriend on OKCupid. It's been 3 years. He lived less than 2 miles down the road from me!

Hopeless? Really? I think of it as actually more active and intentional.

I eloped, but if I were to do it over and do it big, I'd throw one of these:

I think there are many important reasons why this isn't happening, which are FAR more complex than "men won't give women startup money." Recently I had a man ask me the question, "You're clearly smarter than I am, why don't you make more money than me?" and it made me think how all this stuff has played out for me and…

Age: 21
Location: his bed, house by the river
Partner: boy
How it went down: I've always had a high sex drive but throughout my teens, had no desire to share sex with anyone else. I masturbated like a fiend, but never felt the attraction of doin' it with a partner. Then one day, I just wanted it. I happened to be single…

Snuck out of parents house a week before my 15th birthday. 1988.
Walked to the party in the surfer-laden suburbs of Lake Forest (yep,
the OC baby!). Was wearing thin peach top with black bra underneath,
and short black 80s skirt that had those 3 ruffles tiered down it. Was
blonde. Was very blonde due to Sun-In. Was tan.…

Apologetic-ness helps, I find, however it does vary wildly depending on what cop pulls you over. I've had some incredibly mean cops give me tickets (yeah, I've gotten about a dozen or so.)

This is basically the opposite of my wedding. A gay friend is officiating and we are donating to the HRC in lieu of favors. Oops?

I've been reading some stuff lately about watching The Little Mermaid as a trans* empowerment tale. Obviously that's not the intention it was created with, but I think there's validity to that reading. Ariel has felt for her entire life like she doesn't fit in with the other merpeople, and it's something that she gets…

For those inquisitive folks who don't know how to use the google, start here, and come back if you you have genuine questions.

Dear Lindy,

I'll keep everyone apprised of the situation as the plan develops then.

Oh, oh, I see what you did there!!
