Welcome to Vermont

November 20, 2008

Out here in Sherman Oaks, there’s little evidence of a poetic time some folks call autumn, others fall. In the last week alone, temperatures soared into the ’90s, the winds kicked up and huge chunks of hillside, from Sylmar to Anaheim Hills, caught fire.

Don't Cross Me

November 12, 2008

I see it all the time: Size Zero models and actresses who insist upon standing with their legs crossed when their pictures are taken. They look like underfed storks. I know why they do this.
