My (first) wedding was in Costa Rica in December. I arranged everything when it came to where everyone was staying, meals, drinks, activities, the wedding itself, for one week for 20 people.

I have amazing guy friends. Across the board, my male friends (gay, straight, coupled, single) have always been kind, supportive, non-judgmental and all-around cool, treating me with plenty of love and respect. But for some reason, I haven’t had as much luck with my girlfriends. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve got some wonderful girlfriends [...]

Now that I’m in the Land of the Best Television on the Planet (yep, the good ol’ USA), I’m getting sucked back into the idiot box. I’ve always been a fan of America’s Next Top Model and the new season starts tonight. It’s a horrible popularity contest (where Tyra Banks is always the winner) and [...]

Felicitations to M. and Mme Nicolas Sarkozy (III)! The couple tied the knot today in Paris—quiet ceremony at the Elysee Palace (the French White House), requisite fashionable witnesses (his from LVMH; hers from Prada), and a teetotaling OJ toast—all while I was crossing the Atlantic to go back to NYC. See what you miss when [...]

I haven’t blogged in a bit due to mild depression, I think. Certain existential crises about who I am and what I’m doing here in Paris. The gray weather lends itself nicely to deep (and not-so-deep—”are my pores too big?” 
self-reflection. But I’m over the crises (I’m Maggie Roxx, damn it!), I’m heading back to [...]
