This just makes me so sad. I lived in NYC when Sliwa led the Guardian Angels, and they were a godsend. The crime back then was out of control. The subway was just not a thing you took past 7pm at night. Not at least if you were a girl. You'd be the train and there's always be that wary feeling, you know? Then you'd…

I need 10 of them. I never wear white because I always spill something on them. Always. And then I could finally realize my dream of having a simple, basic, work uniform of a white shirt and black slacks.

I really have to take exception to turning the word "Thug" into black thing. Thugs are whomever it is mugging you, pushing you around, setting shit on fire. I grew up using thug as a descriptor and we didn't even have black people. We did have a lot of rowdy whites though.

Well, I don't think so. My shirts are considerably bigger than, say, the guy running the laundry (small, slight Asian man) that wanted to charge me so much money. I just walked right across the street and got them done for 1.99 each, so I'm good with it.

I live in NYC. The shirt thing is outrageous. I go to the laundry place up the block with 10 shirts. 10 plain, cotton, boxy long-sleeved button down shirts. They want to charge me $6.00 each. I ask how much a man's shirt would cost. They told me $2.00. Because they're so very, very different. I'm like, exactly how?…

Absolutely. It was great. And he came off very well. Personally, I love the guy.

Having owned the very first laserdisc player, which at the time was insanely expensive. The remote control was attached with a cord. There was so little available that I actually owned a disc of Olivia Newton-John videos. Think about that for a minute. And Liza performing live on Broadway. Some nature shows, like…

I love the reality shows, I really do. And I love Lisa Vanderpump in the most passionate way. I want to be besties with her, the same as I do with Heather and Carol from RHNY. I lack complicated feelings regarding Kristen and Jax though. I just find the two of them to be such loathsome people that I can't even rally…

I refuse to watch OWN's trashy reality shows. It's not that I dislike trashy reality shows. It's that it seems really wrong for a network that's supposedly about empowering women air crap like Bad Girls Club and it really bothers me. I am in love with Lifetime trashy movies, though admittedly it's the older one's that…

I've have turned into exactly what I feared. I went from this super funky/stylish/edgy person into someone who lives in khakis, button downs, flats/sneakers, barely any make-up. Because I just don't give a shit anymore. I genuinely like feelings like I'm wearing pajamas all the time. I can certainly do it up if…

I love these stories! When I was a kid I worked at McDonald's. First job. So, a customer who's being really nasty pretty much everyone orders a single order of fries. I give the fries and 2 ketchups on a tray. She wants more ketchup, I give her a few more. She starts yelling at me for being so "fucking cheap." …

I love Jessica Lange, but yeah, she needs to leave the show. It's time.

Simplest, easiest dinner ever. Marinate flank steak and whole portobello mushrooms in Newman's Caesar salad dressing for two hours. Stick on grill. Cook. Or maybe a broiler if you don't have a grill. I guess a salad would go nicely.

I was looking to see if anyone posted this before I did it myself. I love this stuff so much. It's the best lip balm ever, and I love the smell. I don't know that that many guys would like it because it smells like roses, but I absolutely love it.

Crème Fraiche is my go to for stews and such in lieu of sour cream. It doesn't break down and curdle. I don't have to bother tempering the sour cream and the food reheats with less hassle, because again, no curdling issues. And it's just so easy to make, I honestly don't understand why most people don't. The longer…

You know, Spike's accent was actually pretty much Anthony Head's real life accent (Giles). I know this because I was that much of a fan girl and listened to every single interview he ever gave and Head gave. The only time I ever find him even the least bit interesting is when he's platinum and when he has the…

I want it now. Seriously, I loved her, loved the pretenders. I spent hours lip-syncing to Tattooed Love Boys in fishnets and a beat-up motorcycle jacket with my platinum ducks-ass hair.

I use western utensils and chopsticks interchangeably, as I grew up in the land where people used both. Honestly, as long as someone isn't holding their chopsticks ham-fisted and stabbing their food, I think they're doing just fine. I have an enormous collection of them, everything from steel to jade to painted…

I have a titanium version of this for the office. Never again will I have to prowl the office, begging for a spoon. Nice.

I definitely have to try your mustarshire sauce. Seems like the perfect thing for a burger or cold roast beef. Or maybe drizzled on cold poached salmon. I like mixing condiments up. I generally have kechacha sauce in my fridge (3/5 ketchup, 2/5 sriracha) for French fries and potato tots and whatever else, sriracha…
