If you’re like me, you wake up in the morning and put on your exercise clothes immediately so that you incentivize yourself to actually do something athletic. This way, I’m always constantly prepared...
Maybe it’s very Margot Tenenbaum of me, but I love little polo tshirts. My ideal style of dressing is 80’s aerobics coach meets Maasai tribeswoman, so a really prim, preppy look is not something I do...
There are many times when my tastes do not match my lifestyle. Here are some examples. I love insane clutches, like this Alexander McQueen one. But I don’t have this cool Paz de la Huerta life ...
I work on a show with an awesome ensemble cast. As a writer, it’s so fun to dream up combinations of interactions when you have such a big cast. I love when certain characters interact with eac...
One of the best recurring visual jokes on the British comedy Absolutely Fabulous was how Patsy and Edina were such fashion victims. Patsy was always squeezed into couture in a way where she looked et...
I once heard an interview, years ago, with Nelly Furtado. She was talking about who inspired her, musically. She mentioned Green Day as being influential on her, along with some other present day art...
Welcome to my Black Friday Holiday Gift Round-Up! I spent a long time compiling some of my favorite gifts for the year in a variety of price ranges. Breaking Bad: The Complete First Season “Not...
In honor of Black Friday, which is basically Christmas for this blog, I’m doing a big holiday gift round-up with special guest star recommendations from some of my splashiest pals. Happy Thanks...
One of the many characteristics I share with Eric Cartman of South Park is our love of pot pies. Here is what I believe is the funniest moment of the South Park pilot, where Cartman’s cat begin...
In terms of time wasters during the day, I almost never turn to Youtube. I will on rare occasion enjoy clicking on a Youtube video link if a trusted source has sent it to me, but even then I’m ...
I was recently on the Daily Show to promote my book Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? Because this is a show where the likes of Desmond Tutu and Doris Kearns Goodwin are known to have made an appea...
I once heard that Steve Martin, when he found an item of clothing he liked, he would buy 10 of them so he had them in every one of his houses and could replace it for years. I love that kind of borde...
I surprisingly travel very light. This is because there is no hell greater than waiting for luggage at baggage claim. It’s just such a snoozy chafe of a time, like waiting for fingernails to dr...
Here’s a small example of why I’m an extremely lucky person. Besides living in America, having parents who put a premium on higher education, having my health and all of those larger, inc...
I love working out, but only if it’s completely on my terms. I can only work out solo. I‘m not one of those cool people who is totally fine with someone asking if they can join me on a run. For...
The legging jean has ruined life for me. I don’t remember the last time I wore proper jeans. And jeans without stretch? What are those even? Gross. I, like most Americans, love the Gap. Besides havin...
A year and a half ago I started writing a book that comes out today. I am so terrified, you guys. Not because I don’t think the book is great-– which it really is, I swear-– but because it is the fir...
Let’s talk about the softness of women’s skin. Skin softness is a common preoccupation for dark-skinned women. I swear there must be (and should be!) a documentary about lotions and the dark-skinned ...
There is an omitted chapter from my book called “Robo-Bath”. It was based on an idea I’ve had since I was a teenager about a device that would bath you to your specifications, all while you lay in it...

Since I turned twelve or thirteen, my parents started giving me gold jewelry for my birthday. If you’re an Indian woman– warning, I’m about to make a massive generalization– if you’re not...
My favorite two kinds of sandwiches are Banh Mi and eggplant parmesan. My friend Brenda and I used to cook up eggplant parm subs from scratch back in New York in the early 2000′s, but that was ...
There’s a specific kind of agony that is losing your makeup bag. It’s awful because it takes forever (and can be expensive) to accumulate the best combinations of makeup and tools. It’s also sad beca...
I’ve written before that if it were not for my multi-vitamins I would be teetering close to death. I eat abominably. Take this for example: last Monday at work, I was running a small room for a rewri...
I love free samples. When I lived in New York, I would take the subway into the East Village just to go to Kiehls for their free samples. If you targeted the right employee at Kiehls (person under 30...
I can’t believe it. It finally happened. I now live in a world where leopard print can be considered a “basic”. Yes, it was exciting when gold shoes became a staple, and who could f...
When you don’t look like in a model in real life you cherish great photos of yourself. When I was on Facebook, approximately 1/3 of my life was untagging bad photos of myself and sending messag...
I had so much fun reading people’s Best Friend Rights and Responsibilities under the #BBFrights hashtag. It made me laugh and miss all my friends. It was extremely hard to narrow it down, but t...
I would argue that the best part of the movie Sex & The City 2 was that one scene by the pool in Iraq or wherever, when the girls were prattling on about something and we caught a glimpse of Sam...
