Jean dreams
“Are you wearing flare jeans?” These words from the lips of Mama Fashionista during my last visit home. I was shocked, first that she hadn’t called them “bell bottoms” and second because she had noticed my jeans at all. It seems I have declared a war (not so harsh, maybe just a non-violent conflict), against [...]

An Open Letter to Amy Smart
Dear Amy: Oh, imagine my excitement when I was perusing the latest issue of Life & Style (which, after The New Yorker, is pretty much compulsory weekly reading…of course) and flipped the page to find your smiling visage looking oh-so-fresh in a white tank top, perfect-fitting jeans and – what is that?!

Okay, this contest is nothing like American Idol, actually, but it’s still really exciting! We’ve narrowed it down to the top two submissions and now you [...]
