Handwash, line dry, exorcise

Posted by teresa santoski

Vintage clothes and accessories can be a real find, but they can also be a little creepy. Do the clothes have happy memories associated with them? What kind of person did they belong to? And, um, is the late owner still hanging around, watching to make sure the new owner doesn't spill punch on her favorite [...]

Posted by teresa santoski

Disney, is there any niche demographic your marketing department has left untouched? Not anymore - make way for Disney Princess-inspired wedding dresses. Shoes will be released at a later date. And no, I'm not kidding about that last part.

My picks for the “American Idol” pool

Posted by jennifer o'callaghan

Well, the damage is done. I will be rooting hard for Hurley:
 

Er, Chris Sligh, who also apparently used to be a  fellow blogger. (But he does look like Hurley. I totally adore hurley.)
