I need to be honest with you about something. Come clean, if you will… I joined a gym. Now I know, that may not seem like a big deal or anything, but when it comes to recovery from anorexia, the gym is one of those…treacherous areas. Since I have been fully recovered, I haven’t belongedContinue reading The Truth about Age & Eating Disorders
An Actor’s Life
Hey friends! So in case you didn’t know, I’m actually in Ohio right now! I had a commercial shoot yesterday, two auditions today, and I feel a bit like a chicken with its head cut off. And…typing that little saying out…I’ve never really considered how gruesome it really is. Yikes. Love life update: I’ve been kindContinue reading An Actor’s Life

The Other S-Word
I’ve gotta tell ya…sometimes I just cannot believe how socially dense we can be in 2018. I mean, for as politically correct and inclusive our carefully chosen words are…y-i-k-e-s. Let me back up. Over the weekend, I took my dad out for his birthday. We went shopping, saw a movie, and went to lunch atContinue reading The Other S-Word
Dignity
Surprise! I’m back in Ohio. I just managed to sneak out during this massive blizzard in NYC, because I had an important audition back home. You know what I did last night? Watched Notting Hill. Yes yes, the classic 90’s chick flick with Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts. I had never seen it. And itContinue reading Dignity

International Women’s Day…
Well, last week was apparently International Women’s Day. I hope you can hear the dripping sarcasm in that last sentence. Does anyone else throw up a little bit in their mouth when, come March 8, social media turns into an estrogen fest of caustic female pride? I mean, double standard much? Honestly, I walk aroundContinue reading International Women’s Day…
The Bachelor Finale & The Disappearing Line of Decency
Just when you think you’ve seen it all, leave it to The Bachelor to pull an Emeril Lagasse and “Bam! Kick it up a knotch!” In case you haven’t heard, The Bachelor season finale was on Monday and Tuesday of this past week. And…wow. Just…W O W.
