“Super”bowl Sunday? I Don’t Think So…
With Sunday rapidly approaching, groups on all sides of the “Choice” debate are coming out, swinging at their opposition. For my part, I’ve read two in-depth articles on this point of view, both, admittedly from pro-choice writers, both pieces from women, but with two very different view points on this ad. The first was found in the Washington Post, and, by far, it was the more difficult to stomach. Journalist Sally Jenkins puts forth the notion that the enemy here isn’t CBS or Focus on the Family, but rather leading women’s groups like NOW that are ...
Tie of the Month: January: Vampires? Wait… Wha?
So, I have a friend named Kylie who is a BAD influence on all matters related to the television. "Have you watched....?" "Oooooooh! You'd really like....!" "I know it's on a cliffhanger, but watch all the other episodes, until you get caught up with the rest of us, so you, too, can be a bundle of nerves while waiting for a show to start again...." While Kylie has NOT sucked me into True Blood, she did finagle her way into my brain with the Vampire Diaries. Only, her timing was impeccable as she did so right as ...
Wonderful Women Wednesdays: Miep Gies
You may have missed it, what with the important and tragic breaking news of the day that Simon Cowell will not be returning to American Idol next season ( / sarcasm), but a truly remarkable human being passed away on Monday. Miep Gies did not like the label “hero”. Isn’t that always the case? Those that define the word never feel as if they live up to it. In honour of her memory, I will not call her one, but I will say that she was an extraordinary woman in extraordinary times. Few of us ...
Music Monday: Monthly Playlist and Tumblr SOTD
Happy New Year! I'm attempting to be somewhat more prolific with this blog this year. I have to tell you, though, going over my blogs from previous years, I don't seem to be a "blogger" as much as I am a "writer". The two are different creatures. Since I do well with the monthly tie of the month, I figured I'd do a monthly playlist of songs I'm listening to. Additionally, for those that do not know, I have decided to use my tumblr "blog" to post a song of the day. In ...
Tie / Femme Fatale of the Month: December 2009
True to my word, I've decided to add a woman section to the tie of the month. At first, one of the best possible people I know in this world, suggested "shoe" of the month, and while I agree that it would be awesome to have a "shoe" of the month for women, it's difficult to find applicable photos. Hence, why this will be a "tie / femme fatale" section of the month. Onto the show: Robert Downey, Jr. I have always loved him. Even when he was living through his serious addictions, I always ...
