Funny how life catches up with you and then you believe there’s no time for the important things—like blogging!
Just landed in NYC last night and am jetlagged so up at 6 am. Plus I’m staying at a friend’s place which is wall-to-wall windows so I imagine the break-of-dawn wakeup is inevitable.
What’s been going on…
1) Show [...]

I haven’t posted because I’ve been rehearsing for this show next Tuesday. My first gig in Paris! I’ll mainly be on bass but will be singing a few things. It’s for a new project of my very talented friend Miro called either “Le Garage Miro Meet Maggie” or “Garage Booster” (I think that’s the latest [...]

I’m a lackadaisical yogini. I probably took my first yoga class ten years ago and have been dabbling in it since, but never too seriously. I loved it but preferred my workouts more hardcore: Radu, bootcamp, boxing…
But now that I’m older (ahem), I’m just not that interested in punishing my body so much and since [...]

WordPress lets you track your hits, what people are searching under, so on and so forth. Now the blog I did about Mrs. Nicolas Sarkozy is still an all-time favorite, undoubtedly because there’s supermodels, nudity and scandale involved.
Today, I noticed a spike in traffic due to Carla Bruni. I didn’t know why until I came [...]

I had several errands to do today… It’s bitter cold (for Paris) right now and I lost my gloves in New York. Anyway, I walked around two opposite sides of town and got lost both times.
Paris, with its arrondissements, is built like a snail’s shell—or that’s what I read somewhere once.
The center of the shell [...]

I’m reading A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle (yes, I know Oprah’s big on it right now.) Anyway, I find the book rather interesting when it comes to ideas of ego, enlightenment and evolution. It’s worth picking up, if you like the whole New Age-y spiritual thing.
Yesterday, I read this sentence in the book, “The [...]

I don’t purport to know all the rules when it comes to joining the Mile High Club, but as a proud member (ahem), I can attest to the topic enlivening your average dinner party.
For my last night in NYC, a group of us got together to eat, drink and send me off in high style [...]

That about sums up my week. After that last political blog (and the subsequent flurry of comments), I was knocked out by the cold/flu/sinus thing that just about everyone in the world seemed to have. BUT I found this great German-by-way-of-South Africa remedy in Whole Foods called Umcka. I recommend it to anyone who’s still [...]

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. (If you’ve ever done something comparable, you know how difficult it is.) All people essentially had to do was buy a plane ticket [...]

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 [...]
