Here’s a poorly kept secret: Men are also from Venus. That’s what I’ve learned after six years of writing for The New York Times wedding section—also known as the Ladies’ Sports Pages.

Your relationship is a complicated thing, no matter what you may list on your social media of choice. Relationships between two adult people may contain several decades of combined life experiences, and these experiences can be dramatically different from one another. The differences you put forth are going to be a part of the relationship […]
I got fired on a Friday, just before lunchtime. No one stood over me as I gathered my coffee mug and my photos, I wasn’t escorted out of the door. I said two goodbyes, covertly, outside the office building. The actual firing was all done over the phone and they told me I didn’t have […]

Because my parents live in Europe and I’ve lived in the States for the last 16 years, I’ve had lots of opportunity to indulge in what I call the (mostly) Family-Free Friendship Thanksgiving, a holiday I always look forward to. For the uninitiated, that’s when Thanksgiving turns into a cozy combination of all the best parties […]
Along with the many benefits, life as a webcam model also comes with busy periods and a few sacrifices, but in the first few months that you need to get used to the activity itself, your family must keep close and support you every step of the way. That’s when you need to learn a […]
