SATC & ME
Let me start out by saying that I have no shame in claiming that Sex and the City is one of the reasons I moved to New York. For some, the idea may sound absolutely inane. But my motivation was more CITY than it was SEX. Obviously. Many believe that SATC has created false expectations in hopeful women around the world over the last 10 years – giving them the impression that just by instantly...

It’s 3:03AM and I just got home from SATC. For now, all I can say is WOW. In a few hours, I’ll say a lot more.
Just know that I have never been more in love with New York than I am at this very moment…

I should be afraid. This theater is full of 200 women that you know are SO abusive to men and can’t get a date.
Help me find some cute gays! This place is full of hags, there’s GOTTA be some fags.

Can. Not. Wait.
But first, sushi & cosmos with my faves!

But it was worth every penny…AND the THREE hours I spent at the salon!! I haven’t had a REAL New York haircut since I’ve moved here…never paying anything more than $35 for a trim. But I decided it was time to get rid of my roots, get summer highlights and thin out my long, thick hair, and I wasn’t ready to hand that task over to my neighborhood barber. I didn’t...

Crying in an airport. It was the morning of May 21, 2006, and I was clutching a one-way ticket to New York City. I had just said good-bye to my parents and I was off to the gate to begin the next chapter of my life. I hadn’t shed a single tear – despite knowing what I just had left behind – and my cheeks hurt from a smile that hadn’t left my face in days. Just as I was just a few steps from...
Sex And The City And The Coming Estrogen Riots
You might be indifferent to the Sex And The City movie, but across the country there are squads of women who care way, way too much about the film and who have already begun planning drunken, cackling rampages on opening night. Some women have commandeered jets to meet friends for the premiere; some of those will descend on New York. Once assembled, the teams will eat overpriced Asian fusion, yell...
What’d you do this weekend? What schmancy bars were you at…and how...

So some random dbag approached me at the bar last...
Dbag: Hey you wanna buy me a shot?
Me: Uhhh, no. Get a life.
Dbag: Well don't expect me to talk to you or sleep with you then.
Me: That won't be a problem. Asshole.
In exactly 6 days...
I will have been a NEW YORKER for TWO years. My ode to the city is in the works. Get excited.
Recovering Frat Boy
by Aaron Karo During my five-year college reunion in May, I snuck into my old fraternity house, which at the time was being used as some sort of community service dorm. As I wandered about taking pictures, a student approached and asked politely, Excuse me, who are you?” Instinctively, I turned around and yelled menacingly, “Who the f __ are YOU?” The girl scurried off, but the...

Awesome article about being a New Yorker →
Why are New Yorkers like this? It goes against psychological principles. Psychologists tell us that the more stimuli people are bombarded with, the more they will recede into themselves and ignore others. So why is it that New Yorkers, who are certainly confronted with enough stimuli, do the opposite? I have already given a few possible answers, but here’s one more: the special difficulties...
