October 20, 2016/ Eve Vawter

You have to give Margaret props for how nicely she decorated that punishment closet, what with all the candles and the Jesus pictures and all. At least she made an effort there. Maybe that's why she was too busy to do a deep conditioning treatment.

Getting Tattooed at 50 Was a Totally Different Experience Than at 25

August 10, 2016/ Marion Rosenfeld

I got the tattoo on my lower back in 1990 — when tattooing in New York City was in the grey area of illegality and it would still be a good decade (and a half?) before that specific placement of body art was referred to as "tramp stamp."

Get The Look: The Junk Lady From 'Labyrinth'

August 04, 2016/ Eve Vawter

July 22, 2016/ Seraphina Ferraro

Old Enough to Know Better: Come Take a Sip From My Fountain of Youth

July 21, 2016/ Nina Bargiel

Since I do not have the access to the virgin blood my mother is clearly feasting on daily, my
