I demand that one of my friends open a bar so I can give this to them as a congratulatory gift. Or, you know, I could just get it for myself. (Instant gratification? Yes please.) This little key chain includes the above skeleton key, skull, beach stone and hand-stamped brass tag, which you can customize. [...]

Do you watch Breaking Bad? I do. I love it. I am possibly in love with the actor who plays Jesse. This may be because, when I was a teenager, I seemed to gravitate toward bad boys of middling height and a skinny frame who are only bad because ~they’re tortured~ and whatever. Also, shaved [...]

Let me tell you about my vintage wool jacket. I love it so much that sometimes I wonder if I should give it a name. Like Amanda. Yes. That will do nicely. Now, as I was saying… Amanda and I were introduced by my good friend Haley when I visited in Mississippi earlier this year. [...]

It’s been a while since I talked about men. Musky, sweaty men. Summer projects around the house with their shirts off men. If you’re dating a man, and you’re doing it because you like him*, you probably like the way he smells. I happen to be dating a man, and lo and behold: I’m not [...]

Despite the billions spent on this “War on Drugs” (please see this exquisite song by one of my favorite [...]

A Day for Men

June 15, 2010

I both love and dread Father’s Day. My dad’s such a cool guy: he went from a mechanic to a top sales guy, from teaching SCUBA diving to owning his own business, from childhood dreams to being a part-time cop who spends weekends at car shows…and he’s done it all by breaking the rules of [...]
