I 
am tired of sluts. No, not the Tiger-Woods-John-Edwards type of slut. I mean emotional sluts. The kind of people who share their most intimate secrets at the drop of a hat.
Why rail against them, you might ask? They harm no one. They’re entertaining. And they make us feel better about our own lives, right? Wrong. What they do is turn you into a slut, too.

Did my friend really believe I said that when Gary and I got engaged? She either didn’t really know me – or she’s simply a bitch. That said, I’ve often said it’s a mistake to think you can change someone after you marry them. However. . . sometimes, you can, according to the latest issue of O. It’s called the “Michelangelo Phenomenon” and, apparently, you can sculpt them into. . . the kind of man you can really love! Read the rest of this entry »

Wilhelmina Slater, the cold, calculating editor of the fictional fashion magazine Mode, is “Ugly Betty’s” polar opposite. Or is she? In a recent episode, holier-than-thou Betty resorted to going on a date with someone she detested to get something she needed. Sound familiar?
Admit it; no matter how good and honest and righteous you think you are, isn’t there at least one occasion in your life when you used a man to get something you needed or wanted? Read the rest of this entry »

Remember that guy, from way back when, who broke your heart? Is there any fantasy more rewarding than showing him, decades later, what a big mistake he made?
