“The American” - Not a Typical American Movie by Moira Murphy

“The American” - Not a Typical American Movie

Don’t let the trailer fool you, this is not an action flick. It’s a drama about a lonely assassin. Watching it, I felt as if I’d entered the bleak and isolated world of an Edward Hopper painting. Based on a novel by Martin Booth, The American has sparse dialogue, photographic-like cinematography, and a dark vibe that becomes even more pitch as it progresses.

Case Studies: Unhappy Camper and the Family Creep by Casey Benson

Case Studies: Unhappy Camper and the Family Creep

Dear Case,

My boyfriend and I recently went camping with some of my best friends and their significant others. On the first night, my boyfriend got very drunk and made a complete ass of himself. He got mad at something silly and started screaming and cussing at all of my girlfriends, blaring privileged information that I had shared with him to the group.

The Fashion Wink: Kick Some Fall Ass with Khaki by Liz Olsen

The Fashion Wink: Kick Some Fall Ass with Khaki

You may not think you can wear it, but the hottest fashion color this fall looks fantastic on everyone. And I’m not talking about anything remotely beige, I mean olive drab, military green…wonderful khaki! Along with the color comes some aviator chic and military styling that’s fresh and exciting, especially in coats and jackets adorned with brass buttons and epaulettes.

Are You a Flirt? by Eris Huemer, MA

Are You a Flirt?

Animals do it. Peacocks fan their tails, mice twitch their noses (remember “Bewitch” and her bewitching nose?), turtles nod their heads at each other for hours at a time. So whether you’ve perfected the human come-hither look, toss of the hair, arching the back or not, it’s easier than you think. Flirting is all about having fun, and being playful and sexy. If you can do that then you can be a flirting pro.

Secret Confessions of a True Blood-aholic… by Elizabeth Robinson

Secret Confessions of a True Blood-aholic…

In a lot of ways, I’m so not the target market for this TV show. Vampires were never really my thing…but make them southern vampires with werewolves, shape-shifters and a ghetto-fabulous fry cook thrown in? Well, color me addicted.

Six Tips to Fight Foot Pain by Liz Olsen

Six Tips to Fight Foot Pain

We’ve all had it for one reason or another. You’re on your feet all day. You come home, get in bed and your feet are throbbing…or worse, blisters. You wonder how you will ever fall asleep. According to discoveryhealth.com, “overworked feet…in a single day…absorb about 1,000 pounds of force.” And then we women shove our feet into shoes that are tight, pointy, with heels currently higher than the gross national debt of some countries. How can we take care of our feet?

Ask John: Why Won’t My Man lead? by John Siscel

Ask John: Why Won’t My Man lead?

Dear John,

The car I’d been driving since college recently died. Though I was sorry to see it go, I knew it was coming. And I expect my boyfriend, a gear head, would help me pick out  a new one and maybe do all the negotiating, searching, etc for me. But he did NOTHING. He didn’t even go with me to test drive them.

Dancing with the Stars Cast a Dud by Cate Henry

Dancing with the Stars Cast a Dud

Last season’s cast grabbed your interest the second you heard the names…Pamela Anderson, Kate Gosselin, Shannen Doherty. Images of bitch slappin’ danced through our heads. This year not so much. ABC just announced it during “The Bachelor Pad” and if the headliners are really Bristol Palin and Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, lightening may have struck for the last time.
