Would You Wednesday: Sisterhood of the Traveling What?

By |May 2nd, 2012|Why Did or Why Don't?|

miss travelIt seems like there are dating sites for just about anything these days.  They have sites dedicated to everyone from Christians to Jews to those who are married.  If you’ve got a specific interest, there’s a site for it.  That is why it is no surprise at all that a new “dating site” called Miss Travel has popped up.  Basically, this site is for “attractive” women to get hooked up with “generous” travelers in search of travel companions.  Now, wealthy gentlemen looking for pretty young things is nothing new… hello, Millionaire Matchmaker??  And remember that whole “cash for class” college scheme?  I’m just wondering where exactly we draw the line?  There’s a very fine line between pay to play and possible prostitution.

I mean, I’m in need of a vacation pretty badly, but uh… I think I’ll keep saving my pennies til I can take myself.  So what do you think?  Would you try out Miss Travel?

Bon voyage!

The List Volume XXIV

By |October 22nd, 2010|The List|

This week I had the pleasure of heading back to my favorite city, New York City. Being here has made me realize there is certainly a reason (or at least ten) it trumps anywhere else (ahem- talking to you Los Angeles). Here’s a shortened list of all the reasons I love NY (and you should too):

  1. A pair of fake boobs won’t get you too far.
  2. When you ask people a question here, they actually know what they’re talking about. If they don’t know the answer, they’ll tell you as opposed to blowing smoke up you’re a**.
  3. A mass transit system that is efficient and people actually use it.
  4. You can get anything you want. Anytime. Anywhere.
  5. No need for a car. Consider taxi drivers your personal chauffeurs.
  6. Women here are naturally beautiful… and smart.
  7. The fashion. The clothes. The shopping. People don’t look like rejects from Millionaire Matchmaker.
  8. There is a sense of camaraderie. They may hate those from the “bridge and tunnel”  set, but they sure do love each other.
  9. Culture. There’s art, museums, theater, and history. 
  10. People in NY know what they want. There’s no changing your mind when you get the front of the line at Starbucks.

All hail the Big Apple.
