This Is What A Feminist Looks Like

The other night there was an interesting conversation in the Twitter-mom-o-verse about feminism and the phenomenon of women beating each other’s brains out about the choice to breastfeed or bottle feed. The conversation quickly devolved into jokes about all the things that are worse for kids than formula (dog food, window cleaner, and poop were [...]

This’ll only hurt for a minute…

Have you read Emily Giffin’s wonderful two-book set Something Borrowed and Something Blue? The first book is the story of a woman who wakes up after a drunken night wherein she slept with her best friend’s fiance.  In the second book, we see the conclusion of the best friend’s story. The two books dovetail beautifully [...]

“Official Book Club Selection” by Kathy Griffin

I’m going to come clean right at the outset here: I don’t love Kathy Griffin.  I’m sure this is a bit surprising because I love cussing and making fun of celebrities and she does both of those things prodigiously.  She’s also a favorite among gay guys and I’m usually a big fan of things gay [...]

Unbridled Talent

I may be venturing into A Post Only A Mother Could Love territory here but I’m low on inspiration and C graciously decided to step in and fill my creativity gap today by demonstrating that he is a budding artistic genius.  He got hold of my point and shoot camera (or “cammer” as he says) [...]

Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop: Mel Gibson is A Douchebag

Mama Kat is simply FORCING me to do this post.  FORCING. Against my better judgment. But here goes… 1.) Choose a headline from The Today Show website and write up an opinion post based on the story you chose. Well. There’s only one story this week: Mel Gibson. And I don’t want to write about [...]

Beauty Top Down: Excercise

I have to start this one off by saying “Damn you Dumb Mom! Damn you for undermining my credibility when I complain about my body by taking fabulous photos of me that I shared with the whole world the other day!” For everyone who looked at those pics, please believe me when iIsay that my [...]

Fashion Round-up…and Slaughter

It’s summer and everyone is dressing as cute as can be! Struttin’ their stuff down the street, working the latest trends, turning heads.  Turning my head. Giving me freaking whiplash because I’m trying to get a better look at the horrors of fashion that are wandering around the streets of my city like so many [...]

Naked

Most women have a complicated relationship with Naked and I’m really no different. Over the years though, I’ve gotten a bit more confrontational with Naked than others. For starters, there were all those years of theatre, which are a blur of dressing rooms, backstage quick changes and long sessions of being measured by different costumers [...]

The First Ever Mom-in-a-Million Poll!

After some discussion on my Facebook page about who would be the best person to spend a rainy day in bed with, I was inspired to ask you all who your preferences for nekkid time are and this poll was born! [poll id="2"]

Letter to Lindsay Lohan

Dear Lindsay Lohan, Girl. First of all, go get some nail polish remover, wipe that cuss word off you middle finger, and then get your pathetic butt back here so we can talk. Thank you. Much better. Lindsay, I’m going to talk to you like I’m your mother because you need a verbal beat-down from [...]
