My love for lipstick is fairly well documented, but I was well into my 20s before I slicked that first wash of carmine on my face. I wasn’t quite a tomboy as a kid, but I certainly wasn’t interested in makeup and fashion for most of my adolescence. A good portion of that was...
The idea of crotchety old men thinking they have something brilliant to say is nothing new, which is why, when I saw that Sean Penn was promoting his new book, Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff, (I kid you not, this is the title of his literary masterpiece.) on The Daily Show, I watch...
Every day, when she served him a bowl of Oxtail Soup, he would take one mouthful and then spit it in her face. Then he would throw the bowl on the floor and scream, “That’s not what Oxtail Soup is supposed to taste like! Can’t you do anything right?” The young woman had to...
