How to Make the Katy Perry Cupcake Bra

October 31, 2010

A few things that make me happy: dancing, writing & making art projects. Its been a long time since I’ve made anything & even longer since I’ve really dressed up for Halloween (last year’s black American Apparel body con dress, fish-net tights, bun & red lipstick combo that I tried to pass off as “I’m a Robert Palmer back-up dancer” doesn’t count).

Ex-Boyfriend Letter #4

October 28, 2010

Dear_______, Most people start off as friends, become lovers then move in together. We did the opposite. We were room-mates who became friends who eventually ended up as lovers. When I moved into The Co-Op, your bedroom was next to mine and we spent six months sharing a dingy bathroom & kitchen with our other room-mate. Five years later we saw each [...]

Two Simone’s are Better than One.

October 24, 2010

Last night I went on my much anticipated blogger date with the lovely Nicole Simone of Miss Late July. I really, really, really liked Nicole. She’s adorable & one of those people that you meet that you feel an instant connection to, like you should have been friends for years and its ridiculous that you’re only meeting now. Nicole said some really [...]

Make Love to the Camera

October 23, 2010

A few months ago I made a video for the new website My City Lives , which was recently launched by my buddy Adil. Imagine if Yelp, Google Maps and YouTube all got together, had some crazy orgy where everyone did the nasty and then through some weird genetic miracle managed to produce a lovely pink love child. That baby would be [...]

Say Yes to Imperfect

October 20, 2010

Something I’ve learned so far in life: PERFECT doesn’t exist. This is especially true when it comes to relationships. The people you think have “perfect relationships” don’t. People love each other. People fight. People do dumb shit and make mistakes. People make up. This doesn’t necessarily make a relationship “bad”, it just makes it human. You can obsess over finding the perfect [...]

How to NOT get into Grad School

October 14, 2010

I don’t talk about work on here. I love my job and would like to keep it that way. So, I’m going to try and keep this as vague as possible. Bear with me. Hypothetically, I may or may not work at a higher learning institution, in the admission office of a graduate program that shall remain nameless. This program that I [...]

Check out my New Digs!

October 12, 2010

Welcome to Skinny Dip version 3.0! I’ve haven’t posted anything for a week because I have been spending all of my blogging hours working on giving Skinny Dip a much deserved face-lift. My blog has looked more or less the same since I started it a year ago. To explain how I feel about my old lay-out, I’ll use the analogy of [...]

Apparently, I need a new Gay BFF…

October 4, 2010

Unlike me who tries to sugar coat everything, my sister is very blunt and says exactly what she thinks. She also likes to dole out what I like to think of as her unique brand of self help. (My favorite being last year’s zinger, “You used be cool Simone…..what happened?”) In August while she was here visiting, we were walking along College [...]
