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…

Girls will do anything (and everything) for beads on Fat Tuesday

Sorry friends, but I’m a little late to the rodeo this year. However, given that Mardi Gras actually occurred a mere two days ago (and Mardi Gras celebrations are still, in fact, occurring) I think we can all agree that it’s still a topical subject. I’m not going to insult your intelligence and tell you that you can find love on Fat Tuesday (so called because it’s the last night of eating fatty boom batty foods before fasting for Lent) in New Orleans. Though I’m sure there are a few exceptions, Mardi Gras has become all about getting drunk, making bad decisions, and showing your ta-tas (or genitalia) for purple, green and gold beads that you’re probably going to toss in the old ‘el garbage the next day. 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…

Eva Amurri had her hen night in Vegas over the weekend. Could she have made a better choice?

Back in the day when I was a wee and innocent little lamb, I – along with my friends Saryn and Cristina – threw an impromptu bachelorette party for our friend Mary. She gamely played along though we were fairly green in the ‘I’m about to say I do’ department; at 27 I had, quite sadly, ever only been to two weddings. Anyhoo, Mary very gamely wore a penis tiara and asked men offensive questions. I don’t really remember that rest, and there’s probably a reason for that. more…

And furthermore, do you like that about your city, you dirty bird you?

According to Dictionary.com ‘kinky’ the definition of ‘kinky’ is ‘Involving or given to unusual sexual behavior.’ It is an adjective. It means you like weird sex. more…

So where will you be staying while you’re busy getting some loving? more…

In honor of Super Bowl XLV, check out my list of the hottest pigskin-throwing posse around!

It’s nearly that time of year again, ladies…a time that simply means (for many of you) that your favorite bars will be filled to the brim with fanatical, football-loving gents. But forget about those guys for a second, and let’s focus on where the real talent lies: which is right there on the gridiron wearing butt pads, helmets, cleats and some very, very tight-fitting pants. But who makes the cut for the hottest baller boys around — and who would YOU really die to score with? more…

Streetspark says yes! Can I get someone to take this for a test-drive?

I received an email from my friend Christina today telling me I HAD to write about this new iPhone dating application called Streetspark. Life lesson #1 here: trust your pals. I’m now officially dying to try this app because — tada! — it claims to make dating in your very own city easy as 1, 2, 3. And as many of you know, it isn’t when we’re on vacation that we have problems meeting our match, it’s right here in our home cities… more…
