I Am All About The Face Transplants
First the French woman, now this guy. I’m not sure why I’m so fascinated by face transplants. Maybe because of all the things on my body that I’d like to change, my face is not one of them. I’m quite happy with my face, and I made damn sure when I had to have my [...]

Earlier today I was walking through the West Village from Bumble & bumble downtown (where I had just received a fantastic blow-out) to the infamous Magnolia Bakery to get me some cupcakes and a slice of red velvet cake, when I crossed Husdon street and spotted a gaggle of people staring at something. “Must be [...]

“We don’t know all the facts about the alleged Duke lacrosse rape, but …” That’s more or less how most commentators have introduced their remarks on the case that has reduced the Durham, N.C., community to prayers, tears and recriminations.

Looks like the family of at least one player who could be implicated is verrrry well-connected. I was wondering who could hire a heavy [...]

Dawn’s got a plan. Since A[manda] &J[ill] admit to being regular readers, I decided to get their attention with a post that would essentially call their bluff. I wrote an allegory about kissing, insinuating that true sexual freedom is accepting sex in all its meanings — pleasure, emotional union, and the possibility of procreation. To [...]

We’ve heard stories about four women dying after taking RU-486, the “abortion pill.” These deaths are significant, and need to be investigated — just like any deaths that occur after taking a legal drug. These deaths have also been concentrated in a particular area (most occured in California), and RU-486 has been used throughout Western [...]
