Sigh. A friend who was highly placed in the digital music word once told me about a label’s new box set/entire catalog commitment to Leonard Cohen and how they were going to “introduce” the singer to women, who they believe were an new audience for the poet/songwriter/singer. Seriously. I just gaped at him before…

Not so much on the Kandy Pen vaper. Or at least choose the Skycloud version (which comes with accessories to accomodate liquids, concentrates, AND bud). But unless you live in one of the few states with medical marijuana or even fewer states with legal recreational marijuana, this is kind of a bust. Most people smoke…

Caroline, this is a well-thought out article reminding us of the importance of HIV awareness, status, and prevention.

Was on the Bean train for years (East Coast!!). But I love me some Columbia now. Seriously. Super waterproof, super warm (and I say this as someone whose tootsies have done 20 winters in Minnesota and now deal with the bone-crushing dampness of Portland). Broaden your horizons, people!

Adele can do what she damn well pleases.

A major plus of Kotaku’s coverage is that it isn’t date-driven, but story-driven. There’s tons of places to go for “first second it’s available” reviews. Meh. They mean pretty little outside of the brag factor. But they drive sales for Ubi, etc. Marketers are gonna market. pfffft. I don’t think your audience is…

It’s a steppin’ razor. Don’t you watch its size, its dangerous.

Sigh and agreed. I have my go-to’s for politics and political dirt, thanks. But only Jez is Jezzy enough. And i09 is just MAGIC. Fingers crossed (although since Denton seems to be communicating with all other pubs about these changes, but not his own site’s readers and commentors...Well, I’m not feeling good about…

Ergh, I think the (minimal) protests were about Caitlyn seemingly being chosen as Woman of the Year purely based on her (one might argue, “privilege-enhanced”) transition. Yeah, Selena Gomez was their 2011 choice, but she’d also been high-profile involved with a number of charities. The grumbling seems to be centered…

Please remember this and voice, vote, donate, attend. Seriously, this shite does not happen by itself.

Truthfully, I’d rather have engagement photos than the standard wedding photos. I think of wedding pix like graduation portraits. Something to send to the grand’rents and never think of again. While when done well, engagement pix look like the people you actually know and maybe even like. Not the bride who’s been…

Love the article. (seriously)

My ex was an insomniac, which meant any little movement or noise on my part woke him and kept him awake for hours. When our dog got old, she’d snore super loud, but worse was when she couldn’t climb the 1920’s stairs to our attic bedroom. Lots of whining (from the dog and the ex). So I slept downstairs in the guest…

Is it worth it? Let me work it.

It’s been two years since my former company decided to push me out at age 59. I went to a trusted lawyer friend who set me up with an employment lawyer (who usually handled the company side of things). He was amazed at how hardball my former employer was playing. It was clear I was being made an example of... But I…

I believe Kelly constructed her own diamond-plate design and that it wasn’t a print. I really liked her stuff (although, as an old, I’m more likely to wear one of Candice’s challenge outfits. Candice’s Fashion Week show was too goth-Miami for me). Kelly’s had a great mid-late 70s vibe, cracking out those Eves and…

“...saying he was good enough for her for a long time.” Ah, yes. Truly the words of a loving partner. Also, as I remember, Gwen had Gavin as a guest coach (on one of television’s highest rated programs). So, yeah, “didn’t let him work.” Yup.

Also, here’s to the smartie Brownies who set up table shop near dispensaries.

Meh. Here in Oregon, the price of Girl Scout Cookies has actually come down a bit.
