UPDATE: June 28, 2017 If you want to reminisce about living in NYC during the era in which I wrote this blog, please check out my friend Lizzy Goodman’s book, Meet Me in the Bathroom, which is an amazing oral history recounting the time. I was lucky enough to be interviewed for the book, so […]

1980s Flashback: Puffball Popple
I have tons and tons of old paraphernalia at my mom’s house, and I’ve been going through some of it and some of the stuff I saved is just too good not to share with the rest of the world. So for your first installment of “Stuff I’ve Saved” I brought out the big guns […]
Jim Hutton in “Walk Don’t Run”
What a hipster! Look at those awesome shoes. This outfit alone makes me love the movie. If they ever remake this movie, Samantha Eggar‘s role should be played by Amy Adams.

Everything Changes…and Dead Weather on the Woodies
You may have noticed the lack of updates — sorry about that, but I just made a big move from my beloved (but tiny) Lower Manhattan apartment to… Brooklyn. Yup, I’ve officially defected to the “other” camp, and although I had my reservations, I’m loving it so far. Anyhoo, finally got the internet and cable […]
