Don’t miss out on love…

Obviously, I’m a big believer that love can happen anywhere, at any time.  That’s why I want you to imagine the following scenario. Pretend for a second that you’re a New Yorker waiting for the 6 train and you happen to lock eyes with a handsome stranger across the crowded platform.  You feel a jolt down to your pinky toe (and maybe elsewhere too). But then the moment passes. He gets on the train and you’re still stuck waiting with a sinking feeling in your stomach, wondering what might have been. more…

Where should you go if you’re single and ready to mingle?

I’m not going to sugar-coat this for you, and I’m sure you won’t be surprised, but I absolutely loathe New Year’s Eve. Not to sound sour, but there’s so much anticipation, so much effort, into ringing in the New Year in style that inevitably, the night itself is a bit of a letdown. more…

Also get informed about the cities that value sex the least — so you can avoid them!

I am a very, very lucky girl. I was pleased and surprised to find that my hometown of Santa Monica, California, was ranked second among the top ten places in America where sex is valued the most. I mean, I would be more excited if, say, love was valued above all else, but this I can live with. Believe it or not, eight of the top ten cities on Chemistry.com‘s sex list — in a survey of 10 million people — are in the Golden State. Peace, love and surfers galore! Why doesn’t everyone just move to good, old C.A.?

In honor of the 11th season of Idol, here’s the hot list!

I admit it, I’m a huge dork…and I love all these musical competition shows (minus X Factor, that shit is whack). American Idol‘s top 13 of season 11 were chosen last night, and I couldn’t help but notice that Philip Philips — yes, that really is his name — looked particularly dreamy wearing a green shirt that matched his eyes (kind of like a pre-balding Jude Law in The Talented Mr. Ripley – and don’t even pretend you don’t know what I’m talking about!). Hence, the hot list. Rock on! more…

Where to find love — literally — around the world

You all know that “looking for love in all the right places” is my slogan. So I’m going to be straight up with you and say that — while you’ll literally find love on this list, I can’t actually vouch for the quality of menfolk you’ll meet in each town. This is my bid to make nice after hating on Valentine’s Day all week by creating a comprehensive guide to the cities named in the honor of lurv and romance. Now all I need is endless amounts of cash and way bigger cahones to spend a week searching for my life partner in Romance, Oklahoma. more…

Start the new year off right…with a kiss

Who doesn’t love to kiss? I do, which is why I’m posting this piece from ZenCollegeLife.com. I learned something new today, too: though the average person spends two weeks of their life playing tonsil hockey, my goal is to go for a month. Really, what in life is better? And don’t say sex, ice cream or chocolate…I beg you. I also learned I will never, ever live in Somalia or Bolivia (which I sort of new already, to be honest) because they don’t kiss at all. Can you even imagine? Do those of you who’ve been complaining that you haven’t had a date in ages should feel at least a little bit better? I also realized I don’t want to live in Florida any time soon…you’ll read why below. Freakin’ weird state has some seriously messed up laws. Just sayin’.

Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger offers her professional opinion

She knows millionaires, but does she know anything about travel? Well, yes, actually, I do believe that Patti Stanger does know what she’s talking about when she revealed her picks for the top three cities in which to meet rich, hot and single men. While I personally don’t care about a man’s wealth (yes, I do prefer hand-picked daisies over expensive roses, thank you very much) the Millionaire Matchmaker is actually dead-on accurate with at least two of her picks. The third doesn’t rank on my list of places to see before I die, though perhaps some Scottsdale, Arizona residents can convince me otherwise that their city rocks. I’m open, as always. more…
