For any of you that may not know, I am a gay lady.  A proud gay lady.  I rocked my rainbow belt this last weekend at New York Pride like no other, and cheered when I saw a bunch of men riding Ricky Martin: However, I have to say that I am not so thrilled with the general stereotype that is placed upon all gay ladies.  For example, I don’t...Read More!

Let me start by saying that I am what many call a “follower” or, in the world of marketing, a “laggard.”  What’s a laggard, you ask?  It simply means that I’m cunning and let other people test-drive products before I buy them…. or that I’m incredibly skeptical and anal-retentive and won’t spend money on something unless a good...Read More!

Don’t judge this post until you’ve read it.

She writes her own songs, plays her own instruments, and has a damn good voice to boot.  What’s not to like? I think one of the reasons Adele is so popular right now is that...Read More!

Today’s Topic: “You’re” Vs. “Your” Hello, and welcome to the first ever LEWM post.  In today’s lesson, we’re going to learn the difference between “you’re” and “your.” Now, although these two words may sound exactly the same, the writing can change the meaning entirely.  Here’s the easiest way to remember which...Read More!

My advice: Don’t do it.  Here’s why: Nothing good can come from it.  Best case scenario: you find out that you have similar interests in books or movies with someone, but then you read their wall and realize that they’re a complete moron and then question your own sanity.  Or, even worse, you find out they don’t know the difference...Read More!
