I just learned that my feet are featured on wikiFeet, the collaborative celebrity-feet website, and people have been rating them. I realized when I became an author that people would critique my writing, but I never imaged they’d critique my feet! For years, I danced ballet in pointe shoes, so my feet got more than their fair share of thrashing:) …
Brian Feinblum, creator of BookMarketingBuzzBlog, wrote the article entitled, “Interview with Viral Video Queen & Amazon Best-Selling Author.” He asked me about my advice for women, if I’m planning another book, and more! You can read the interview here. It’s the third article.
I’m in LA filming a dating skit for Comedy Central. As you can see from this picture, I’ve got some skin in the game…literally…and I took a hit for the team! Minus that, it’s been a lot of fun. If you’re wondering why I got a rug burn on my stomach, you’ll just have to wait and watch the skit …
I hope you all had a bang-up beginning to 2012! The New Year has barely begun, and I have already seen so many ads with statements like, “Look as good as a model in less than a month.” This started me thinking about New Year’s resolutions. I don’t believe they should involve being “as good as” or “better than” anyone …

Upon scanning any newspaper in any US city, it’s clear that we live in a hyper-partisan country, but today we pause to join with family and friends—regardless of their beliefs—to be grateful for what we have. There was also partisanship in this land at the first Thanksgiving, but the camaraderie of diverse parties made it possible. The Mayflower Pilgrims who …

Lately, several friends have said they’re traveling to France and need to brush up on the language before boarding the plane. Potiche is perfect for just that. It’s a French film that can be seen with English subtitles, so even if you don’t speak French, you can still marvel at this timeless story and the magic of Catherine Deneuve. Potiche …
This is the first time in years that I have been home for July 4th. Every summer during college, I was studying abroad on this holiday. Once, when I was in Spain, my Spanish culture professor greeted our class with, “Happy Day of Independence!” The Spaniards of his generation vividly remembered the day their country gained it’s independence after decades …
This picture was taken of my dad and me when I was six months old. As you can see, he was the ultimate good sport:) At first, he was sitting on the edge of the pool holding me so I could wade on the step, but I wanted to get in and splash. Even though Dad was wearing a shirt …
Last Friday, I attended opening night of the world premiere of Pacific Northwest Ballet’s Giselle. A team of experts reconstructed this ballet from an international collection of historical papers…a notebook found in a German flea market, an ancient document untouched for decades on a Harvard library shelf, and an 1842 music manuscript. Doug Fullington, PNB’s dance historian and an expert …
