Just say no to capris
Over the past few days, we’ve enjoyed sunny 70-degree temperatures in the waterlogged Northeastern United States, and I couldn’t be happier. Oh, to leave the house in just a light jacket! Or, no jacket at all. I wore a new sleeveless dress to Easter Mass yesterday (yes, I caved, despite my objection to the near impossibility [...]
Should Gabourey Sidibe lose weight?
Last week, talking heads discussed whether or not Oscar nominee Gabourey Sidibe would have to lose weight to ever get a decent part again. Now TMZ reports that a weight loss company has offered the effervescent and appealing actress an endorsement deal, provided she drops pounds using their product. TMZ reports: “The CEO wrote a [...]
Look at me! I’m the prettiest girl in the room!
I went to the mailbox yesterday to find four catalogs, all jammed with Christmas excitement, waiting for me. One of them came from a clothing store I like. The dresses, coats, and shoes are chic and reasonably-priced, and it’s usually the one catalog I don’t immediately toss on the recycling pile. But this time something [...]

Love and the control-top undergarment
Women love the bump-smoothing properties of control-top underwear. A post-pregnancy Gwyneth Paltrow once copped to wearing them. I don’t think Kathie Lee Gifford even leaves the house unless she’s strapped into a pair. But I always wondered what happens if a woman attracts the attention of some tall, dark, handsome man while sporting an artificially [...]

‘Everybody loves a bitch’
So says an woman who came out to see Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, who appeared at the opening of a new documentary that takes viewers behind closed doors of the fabled fashion magazine. And I’d say that’s certainly encouraging for women who stumble through their careers afraid to take a stand (“Don’t make waves,” my first boss, a man, warned me). [...]

Seriously, do we all have to be blonde?
A teenager I love came back from the Jersey Shore with straight blonde hair. She’d left home a week before with chestnut waves, which suited her complexion and set off her arresting green eyes. But she wanted to be a blonde. Hey, doesn’t everybody? I woke up this morning and found NBC anchor Natalie Morales reading [...]
In Praise of ‘More’ and Mary-Louise Parker
I read More even before I turned 40. I liked its emphasis on women achieving great things and enjoying their lives. Some other magazines regarded females nearing the end of their 30s as approaching an expiration date (I once received a subscription solicitation for a major magazine promising a forthcoming piece on “aging sex-symbol Sharon [...]

Putting a ring on it
According to the guys in this promotional video, smart men realize “that an engagement is going to require a diamond.” I harbor mixed feelings about engagement rings. They’re (usually) pretty, but I fear they blind some women into marrying the first guy who’s willing to spring for the hardware. Case in point: A good friend [...]
