Fashion

This is actually the coolest I look from this age through 16. And I'm wearing garland.

I only look fashionable now because I got out all of my bad ideas early. (Or my fashion strength lies in my ability to be delusional. Yay!) Up next? The college years. Also known as the Black Stretchy Pants and Vomit series.

Ask Alex Button

Lisa (who you can blame for the existence of “Ask Alex”) asks: I am terrified of starting this “potty training.” How did you know when to start and how did you do it? So you know how everything you read says WAIT FOR SIGNS OF POTTY TRAINING READINESS? My kids forgot to read those three [...]

Happy 2nd Birthday, Wild Child.

My daughter turns two today. She sweet and funny and the head of the school stopped me to say: N is amazing. So I’m pretty much terrified for the teenage years. Because already N knows how to party.

When I attend a concert, I don’t think: Wow! With a few guitar lessons and some willpower, I’ll be playing up on stage in no time. But when I flip through a fashion magazine, I think: Wow! With those jeans, eye-shadows, hair gel and willpower, I could look like that.

Angry Birds1

I hate trends. Trends make me not listening to music and dress like I’m trapped in 1999. But what really happens is I spend months making fun of Lady Gaga, leggings and ankle boots. And another month ignoring my urge to buy them without choking to death on my pride.  And then I’m gushing about [...]

I’m off to my job at Richmondmom.com. Wait! Come with me! Because you can learn the GREATEST SLEEPING METHOD ON EARTH, my method, which may or may not include clotheslining you child. And begging. Also, last week I did a review of Great Wolf Lodge in Williamsburg, VA for Richmondmom.com and documented why yelling FIRE [...]

And more importantly, do you still have friends? As I’ve gotten older, I realize that I’m falling behind in fashion, music, and cultural cool. And I’ve turned to my friends and BEGGED them to call me out when I get stuck in the 2000s and everyone else is all 2015. But I have a friend [...]

Late Enough I Ask Advice Button

Okay I NEVER wear thongs. And I won Best Butt back in 1995 at my summer camp so it’s not because I can’t shake it with the best of them. But I cannot handle the INFINITE WEDGY (said in a echo-y voice like in the Muppet’s Show PIGS IN SPACE). And any sentence that ends [...]
