    What Were You Like As A Teen?

    Hell in heels. Or stylized combat boots, depending. I was angry, articulate, stubborn, dry-humored, sarcastic, outspoken, depressed, and popular. I was Student Council President, class Vice President, in Honors classes, and on the Scholastic Bowl team. I played tennis and Badminton. I got a...

    As A Kid, What Were You Like?

    Hmm. Probably roughly the same as I am now, but with less shaping/neuroses brought on by experiences and the World itself. I was outgoing, friendly, and inclusive, but also prone to being private, quiet, thoughtful, and extremely observant - especially of adults. I loved books, dancing...

    modern things you haven't experienced

    x-box is one of the great-goodnesses of the modern era. i think you will be pleased. it's really (relatively) cheap therapy. it's so good i won't allow myself to have one in my home. *play Halo. thank me later* i avoided a cell phone until this last year. i wish i could have held out...

    Proper hat with a tuxedo (dinner jacket)?

    Wow. I had no idea. So tuxedos are like the ros?© champagne of men's attire!?! Very cool. I'll let my brother know his White Sox cap won't clash one bit. He'll be ecstatic, assuming he doesn't already know.

    What to do

    I often say, "There's nothing a fresh coat of lipstick can't fix." Works for me. Even if the rest of me is a wreck, the perfect lipstick application *always* makes me feel better.

    Have You Ever Met A Movie/TV Star or Celebrity?

    Panda Demands Abortion

    Hilarious of course, but the ticker at the bottom is the real hoot.

    Eating Habits of the Past vs. Now

    One of the major reasons people were smaller before is that nutrition was much, much worse. Today we've gone to the other extreme where things are too fortified and tinkered with, preserved and processed, so there was a middle ground in there we entirely missed. Here's hoping we learn to rest in...

    A Culture of Snark

    Hmmm. I think it has always been in fashion to be snarky, and probably always will be. I think 'snark' and 'wit' are relatively close cousins. Yes, there was once an Algonquin Round Table, but there were umpteen thousand people copying them on the streets and at home with far less command of...

    Your favorite Hot Dog Stand?

    Hot Doug's, Chicago IL. CIA trained chef with an obsession for encased meats and duck-fat fries. No doubt, it's God's own food.

    Favourite Scents

    Ladies! Friends! FLoungers! Guess what I just found? This wonderful site where you can order *tons* of samples (including the L'Artisan Perfumes which recently came up)! I just spent less than $20 and got 4 scents, two which I know I love and two new ones! Since I can't wear perfume much...

    The perfect 30's-40's housewarming?

    Whoops. Yes, that could be problematic. The shipping costs alone! :o

    The perfect 30's-40's housewarming?

    To keep it cheap (but classy) have her serve Prosecco, Cava, or some other sparkling wine that isn't from Champagne, as it will be cheaper, but still delicious. Avoid U.S. sparkling as it will be more expensive again and honestly, most Prosecco's are more beautiful than California sparkling. You...

    eBay fit woes

    I have to say, I shop ebay less and less. Because it is so over shopped now, I can usually get stuff at my near-by stores for the same prices, but more often, even cheaper. And being able to try it on and check the fit is worth so much to me after I've had a handful of things from off ebay not...

    Chicago - Windy City Hot Spots?

    Absolutely the Green Mill. Possibly more than once. Tuesdays are wonderful. Deep Blue Organ Trio plays. For classic cocktails: * The Drake Hotel of course... Coq d'Or, 140 E Walton Pl. - Can't beat it. * A favorite bar of mine, The Matchbox, 770 N Milwaukee Ave. * Pop's for Champagne, 601...
