Back to Basics

Written by admin on December 31, 2009. Posted in On Topic OTDT, Opinion and Column

We’re a decade into the millennium. How’s that workin’ out for ya? Since 2000, social networking is our new way to reach out and communicate. Devices such as the iPhone have lightened our load by placing in the palm of our hands a phone, camera, computer and various applications, all at once. And we made

Checking in with Hollywood

Written by admin on November 5, 2009. Posted in Opinion and Column

Once again, my life as a New York City mother has been portrayed on the silver screen. This time it is called Motherhood. I feel that I owe it to myself to see movies about women who live in Manhattan so that I can gauge how I am being portrayed to the world

Talk Ain’t Cheap

Written by admin on October 23, 2009. Posted in On Topic OTDT, Opinion and Column

Let there be peace on earth. If only saying it made it so. But just saying it can get you a Nobel Prize. A lot of people are still up in arms because President Obama was rewarded, not for accomplishing peace, but for simply talking about how he’d really like to make that happen. I

A ‘Fame’ Face Off

Written by admin on October 9, 2009. Posted in On Topic OTDT, Opinion and Column

Baby, remember my name…when people ask who that lone person was who preferred Fame 2009 to the original movie from 1980. I have now seen both and have also read the reviews. I believe that the producers of the updated version will probably wish I were a critic instead of a columnist. I will not

No Props for the Eco Girl

Written by admin on September 23, 2009. Posted in On Topic OTDT, Opinion and Column

It’s not easy bein’ green. I must confess, I am not an environmentalist by nature. But after careful consideration I figured I would give ecology a go, beyond the mandatory bottle and can recycling demands of my co-op. When I go grocery shopping, I’ve started using my many free cloth bags that I’ve accumulated from

What Would Anna Do?

Written by admin on September 10, 2009. Posted in On Topic OTDT, Opinion and Column

The “Devil” made me do it. Since reading that book and seeing the movie version, I’ve based my opinion of Anna Wintour on fiction, as well as what I now deem biased reports in the press. So I ventured to the theater to see The September Issue, a documentary about Vogue, whose offices loom large

Hos, Hags and Skanks, Oh My!

Written by admin on August 26, 2009. Posted in On Topic OTDT, Opinion and Column

This headline-making, cyber-turned-street feud between some model and a blogger is the latest in how people in New York waste their time. We live in the city that never sleeps, remember? There is something to do and somewhere to go every second—even if it’s simply to Central Park to hang out on the grass. Yet

In Defense of Ruth

Written by admin on July 29, 2009. Posted in On Topic OTDT, Opinion and Column

I feel sorry for Ruth Madoff. There, I’ve said it. Her husband Bernie is a bad guy. If you hate him, join the club. If you think he deserved every day of his 150-year sentence, who’s arguing? If you’re glad he’s going to die in jail, here here

Waiting for the Bard

Written by admin on July 16, 2009. Posted in On Topic OTDT, Opinion and Column

There are certain rites of passage when you grow up in Manhattan: your first solo subway ride, Central Park becoming your hang out, realizing you’re oblivious to places like the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Empire State Building and the flowerbeds that line the Park Avenue malls because you’ve seen them all your life, and

A Lesson in Civic Action

Written by admin on July 1, 2009. Posted in On Topic OTDT, Opinion and Column

I have the lowdown on the High Line, that new downtown park which covers the train tracks on the “lower west side.” I will admit I did not journey down to the Meatpacking District just to see it. I had taken my daughter to play with some friends in the area and stopped by the
