Hot & Bothered (But not in the way you think...)

relationship-advice

All this talking about sex (see prior post) has me hot and bothered...But NOT in a sexual way.

I grew up in the Midwest and spent many years entrenched in a religious community that believed men were the kings of the house (as God was the master of man) and that it was a woman's job to please him. And there was/is some pretty strong scripture to back up this belief.

Safety Measures Every Lady Should Know

general

I took a self-defense course a few months ago led by Gabriel Rubin, founder of Female Awareness (click HERE to go to her site) . I recommend every woman take this inexpensive but extremely informative course if she wants to feel more confident when walking the streets of New York or other urban areas (or even suburban, like while walking to your...

Women Who "Own" Their Sexuality...What does that mean???

relationship-advice

Over the years this statement has meant different things to me. Sometimes I thought of it more in terms of what it didn't mean. As in, a woman who "Owned" her sexuality wasn't a prude who had to wait until she was in love to get it on. She didn't have any such restrictions. Women have sexual desires just like men, I'd say, so why can't we get them met like guys do? Why can't we...

Why I DON'T Hate Taylor Swift

music

I know it may sound like a silly thing to read, especially to those who have never gone up against the Music Biz Beast and thus have never been defeated by it, but I feel it's an important statement to declare. Why?

Because of this: Many of Taylor's predecessors, as in super-successful-teenage-pop-stars, like Brittany or Christina, have been pretty much loathed by the music community...

Thank You vs Sorry...and what it says about you

relationship-advice

Say you and a random stranger arrive at an entrance way simultaneously and only one of you can fit through the door at a time. What do you do?

Then, say the other person steps back and offers you entry first. Do you say "Thank you" and walk through, or "I'm sorry" and smile nervously with your head down, attempting to pass as quickly as possible so as not to inconvenience anyone? Or, do...

WHAT BRAD DIDN'T GIVE JEN

relationship-advice

Brad was unhappy with the relationship (yes, I know I'm writing as if I had the inside scoop...Maybe I do!). It didn't happen over night...it was a build up over the years.

Jen has mentioned in interviews that she gave too much of and lost herself in the relationship. I think Brad felt suffocated because she, admittedly, was too dependent on him for her happiness.

The manly...

Music: Love it or Leave it

music

And I did both.

I know my millions ~;) of fans out there are wondering what happened to me over the last few years. Well, my friends, in order to explain that I have to go back to the beginning (of my music career...not my life).

In 2002 I fell in love with music when I saw a local band called Alice Texas playing at, of all places, Starbucks in Astor Place. When I saw the lead...

How I Can Help Jessica Simpson

relationship-advice

I know, I know...With all of the celebrity news/tabloids/crap, we all think we are their secret BFF's (and talk as if we were too!) Well, I'm no exception.

By all superficial accounts, Jessica is the perfect gal...She's beautiful, talented, sweet and caring. Oh, and rich. I used to think that if I had all of those things, I would easily be able to get a man. Evidence shows (think Nick,...
