If you've been following this blog for some time now, you'd know that I'm crazy for pretty lingerie -- bras in particular, but it's all good to me. Which is what led me to my firs...
If there's one thing I've learned -- and learned well -- it's that although any kind of change is always tough, if you decide to give in to it and go with the flow you might find that ...
About 20 years ago I got my first retail sales job in downtown Los Angeles. It was at a lingerie store -- which was not yet quite the household name it is today -- where the store manager was referre...
When I was growing up, I thought my parents failed me the moment they gave me my name. The long version, my legal and baptismal name, was too long and unwieldy. It wasn't easy to learn how to sp...
I have a milestone birthday coming up in a few years, and I'm already wondering how I'll measure my life when I get there. Not by my children, since I don't have any. Not by possession...
Deciding to get married should be like deciding to begin a diet. You make the decision because you believe that your good life will become better if you do -- and not because you're imperfect or...
All my life I've wrestled with my hair. Countless hairdressers, come to think of it, have, too. If you ask anyone who knew me through high school, you'll hear stories about how my hair was ...
I saw him in 1999, right after our divorce was finalized. I can't remember the last time I saw him before that morning because he wasn't around the day when I finally moved out of the home ...
First, a disclaimer: I am not a prude. But when it comes to folks with non-romantic intimate access to my ladybits, only females are allowed. My primary doctor, gynecologist, acupuncturist, masseuse:...
I don't think I'll ever forget the moment that night, after I stood up from his bed in my chambray nightshirt to walk across the room and grab my bag on top of the chair beside the TV stand...
It used to be so easy getting up. Literally and figuratively, I mean. Although I'm not yet feeling the pain of arthritis scraping away at my joints, there's already a bit of the ol' dr...
I opened a Tumblr site a couple of years ago and putzed around it, not quite sure what to do with my new online toy. I've decided to use it as a media folder of sorts, with photographs, links t...
First there was the Hemline Index, then the Lipstick Indicator. More recently we've seen the Nail Polish Effect and the Necktie Index. Even bra sales recently pointed the way, it seems. But now ...
Current weather: 64°F. Partly cloudy with temperatures falling to the mid 50s. Winds light and variable. Summer officially started about a month ago, but someone forgot to tell Seattle that. Im certa...
I was seething, completely and absolutely. I could feel the heat emanate from somewhere in the upper regions of my gut, and then choke me in the throat, demanding some form of violent release. I want...
He just didn't go there now, did he? I was listening to the kitchen contractor try to explain to me why the steel rack he built not only was way too big for the space it was designed for, but wh...
I believe in the institution of marriage -- so much so that I married twice. I'm being serious here, even if once in a while I'm wont to quip to my friends that my history also makes me a m...
The last time I caught a glimpse of my front door was through the empty spaces between the plants on the hanging window box and the pots on the ground. It was the exact way I'd viewed it for yea...
When I was 16 I thought I'd marry my first love, have a couple of kids, and kick serious ass as a journalist. Instead I've been married twice, don't know what it's like to be a mo...
