Made the mistake of talking about the election with my mom. She said, “My guy won!” I told her I’m not coming home (haven’t been in two years and miss it desperately) for Christmas. So excited for Hillary but this election might make me devoid of family. I thought it was bad with Bush 2 but this....unforgivable.…

I went to a new gyno a few weeks ago (my DC gyno was the best!) and was feeling tender as I have Mirena which for me means no periods but definite uncomfortableness. She starts doing the pap swipe and gets vocally annoyed with me as my poor body is like, “Nope!” and tells me to stop pushing the thing out. Then she…

This is more embarrassing than gross but was when I was 21 a friend and I went on a drinking binge that required our wasted asses to call my mom to pick us up because no cab would let us in and the next day I’m puking and shitting out my guts for more than 12 hours. At first my mom was like, “This is what you get,…

Also the guy I met and hooked up with a bunch of times in 2003 loves West Ham so am super appreciative of your name!

Ugh I guess it is back to Brazilians then

Question: my maternal great-grandmother, grandmother,and mom haven’t gone grey on their heads. I don’t the type of relationship to ask about downstairs—is it possible to grey down below if up top all is the color I’ve had all my life???

Shameless plugs! I applied to and was invited to join a museum education steering retreat and I’m so stoked! The best part is that the woman who chose the attendees is one of my heroes! What is awesome in your life??

What are you doing tomorrow night? You, sir or madam, are a keeper!

The curled but in the front is remnants of pink, btw--the rose gold is closer to my roots :)

Thank you!

Super jealous! I had wanted to dye my hair black in high school and my mom said,”Absolutely not!” So then I got cast in The King and I and was one of many white girls playing Asian girls and dyed my hair without Mom’s permission and for a few months looked like the vamp 1920s lady of my dreams (had a bob too!). I…

Awww that is just what I needed! Thank you, Friendo!! They were $10 on Palm Canyon in Palm Springs--I love them too!

Again subtle AF and I’m shit at taking and being in photos but love them!

I got rose gold highlights which are so much more suited to my skin the the super blonde I’ve been doing for years. They are super subtle and I love them! I also blew $200 at sokoglam.com on a Korean skin care regime and I am loving it!!

Ha! And perhaps going into a school named for a saint! I never even thought of that as the whole fear lingering was ridiculous on its own.

That is awful and terrifying. I’m so sorry to see you go!!

There’s a SoCal Jez meetup? I moved to Palm Sprngs last year and am dying for like minded ladies! Please let me know deets!

I got Manx cat and am very pleased. Was not pleased to have been sorted into Slytherin but then Lin-Manuel Miranda was too so I’m cool with it!

Echo is nothing but love
