I’M SEXY AND I’M JEWISH AND I DON’T KNOW IT

I’M SEXY AND I’M JEWISH AND I DON’T KNOW IT

Coming to terms with my sexuality could be a lifelong struggle for me, or it could not. It’s really a choice. I can continue with my usual schpiel laden with humility, humbleness and detachment like, “The devil made me do it,” or “I have this weird/strange/crazy part of me that wants to pose naked with [...]

“BABY” IS A DIRTY WORD

“BABY” IS A DIRTY WORD

I have rewritten this post three times. I’m starting over again. I have this feeling that I have never had before. Maybe it’s boredom, stagnancy in my projects…I don’t know. I’ve had friends, many friends, who have had this feeling and I’ve just nodded and assured, “One day, that will come.” Now, I find this [...]

LET’S TALK ABOUT SOMETHING FUN AND GIRLY!

LET’S TALK ABOUT SOMETHING FUN AND GIRLY!

Enough with all this depressive shit like heartbreak, confusion and bouts of loneliness. Things are lookin’ up in the world and I’m ready to embrace some really great things…like underwear.

Just as I was about to shave down there, I stopped and made up a little song called “Let the bush grow.” I sang it loud and proud. I then realized that since I can hear my crazy neighbor screaming at random people, she could probably hear me belting out my new war song, “Let [...]

THE WEDDING BOX

THE WEDDING BOX

I have this little joke I tell myself: “I never thought my cats would last longer than my husband.” It’s a quickie, a quick little snicker. It’s really not that funny. I stopped saying this joke to people. I actually stopped talking about the end of my marriage and people stopped asking about it; like [...]

I NEED TO LIVE ALONE

I NEED TO LIVE ALONE

I went to look at an apartment tonight to share with a roommate in a cool area in Los Angeles. On the way home, I stopped by 7-Eleven and grabbed some soda and pretzels. I couldn’t wait to get home to my place. To my cats. To my home. To my big room with wood [...]
