Sit back, ladies, and await your roses on Valentine’s Day. That smiling delivery man will come to your home or office, hand over that fabulous bouquet, and fill your heart with delight as he does so.
Think not of the insanity that goes into that dozen.
Ultima Florals, in Jackson Heights, Queens, usually has 3 to 5 people working an average day. Continue reading
I’ll admit it: I did not write a single Christmas card this year.
Oh, I should have. I should have sat down like a good little girl and wrote out dozens of times “Merry Christmas! Love, Newsbunny!” However, I didn’t. I’ve had two biopsies in the last three weeks and I just didn’t feel like it.
My husband is another story. He is half-elf. He bought Christmas cards, carefully chosen, filled with as much glitter as possible, wrote a personal message in every single once of them, sealed the envelope with his own precious ginger saliva, popped a Christmas stamp on the whole thing, and dumped it the mailbox, mostly likely while Whos from Whoville gathered round him holding hands and singing songs while a gentle snow fell on his dark red hair.

Sir Mix-a-Lot says you’re awesome just the way you are.
Hello, Fatso!
The holidays are over. O-V-E-R. So what are you doing, lazing about the floor, watching that marathon of Hoarding? You know what you’re hoarding? Fat. fatfatfatfat. You are a worthless jerk who will make less money all your life and never find love because you shop at Lane Bryant or at the Big and Tall store.
The commercials are all here to tell you that. Continue reading
Merry almost Christmas, kids! I thought I would put up some great holiday cartoons both for the grown ups and for any kids that the grown-ups have foolishly been left in charge of. Continue reading
Let’s face it, this is the time of the year that everyone feels the need to look festive, even if they’re actually wearing their cranky pants and bitching about the economy/weather/kids these days, etc.
However, in the quest to appear festive, many don’t actually put a lot of thought into what they put in their yards and houses during the holiday season – just so they have something to point to and say, “Look how festive I am! Look at my festive f**king house!!” Continue reading
Well it’s holiday time and that means tedious gift-giving. Got an uncle who won’t shut up about the original intent of the Constitution, or an annoying cousin won’t shut up about the constraints of the patriarchy? This gift guide is for you. Click the image on any of the gifts to buy it on Amazon. Continue reading
Today, December 6, is Canada’s National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. Every year on this day, Canada commemorates a terrible act of violence directed at women solely because of their gender. Continue reading
As I’m sipping my dark chocolate orange tea that I got at the holiday market from the nice, attractive French man last week, I remembered I had picked up a few ideas for gifts that I thought I’d share with you all. Continue reading
If you’re anything like me, you probably like Christmas music, but are sick of hearing the same verse of “Jingle Bells” done over and over again, as well as the latest group of teen boys singing “Deck the Halls” or mangling the words to the “Twelve Days of Christmas.” Well, I’m here to help you out. You see, there have been centuries of beautiful Christmas music that no one sings anymore. Maybe not no one, but these treasures tend to remain hidden until someone like Enya dusts them off for her next Christmas album, or some random pop “star” does really shitty renditions of them.
