{WEARABLE} ART & CULTURE

Walking around Chelsea the other day, I spied a chic, new fitness space called CULTURE. Part “urban country club,” part 1-on-1 athletic studio...

KNOTTY & NICE

Don’t you love how friends of friends can instantly become your friends too? I do. And, that’s how I felt when I met Nur-E Rahman, the designer of Knotty Gal...

For the Love of Baz

For the Love of Baz

In 1992, I sang along as Scott and Fran swayed under the stars to “Time After Time” by Cyndi Lauper in Baz Luhrmann’s Strictly Ballroom.  It was the epitome of romance with an Australian, quirky-comedic twist–and, I was hooked. Four

Team Spirit {Part II}

Team Spirit {Part II}

When my brother was three, he decided that he was meant to be a die-hard Yankees fan.  And, so, we followed his lead.  We have lots of happy memories of summer afternoons spent at Yankees stadium as a family, eating

Team Spirit {Part I}

Team Spirit {Part I}

As a kid, I played one season of T-Ball and that was quite enough for me.  In middle school P.E. class, I was that girl, who faked having to go to the bathroom when my turn inevitably came to serve

Fear Factor {Part II}

I’m now harnessed in and my palms are bright white with chalk.  I start climbing….only 30 feet to the top, right? Ropes courses are measured from 5.1 to 5.15 (mine is a 5.6). It’s around here where I start to

Fear Factor {Part I}

Fear Factor {Part I}

I admit it: I’m a little afraid of heights.  It’s relatively new, related to nothing in particular. So, I decided to go indoor rock climbing. Why?  You only go around once.  And, I believe that there is something to confronting
