V Card
OK. It’s time we talk about virginity. *Takes a shot of whisky.* Scratch that. It’s time we talk about my virginity. *Takes another shot. Slams down the glass.* Ok. Now I feel prepared to take on this topic. Allow me to set the stage: Saturday night. 4 am. The sun is just starting to rise and the…

Plans
I’m going to be really honest with y’all. Growing up, I thought my life was going to have played out a lot differently by now. I thought I was going to be married at 22, first kid at 23, and…I wanted ten…so…you do the math. I know. I know. I had high ambitions for my womb…

Perfume
So. This weekend was kind of a…break through of sorts for me. A new experience. A freeing feeling. Drumroll please……… I wore perfume. For me. Womp. Womp. I know, I know. If you were expecting something earth shattering, I apologize for the gross letdown. But just hear me out. I wear Ralph by Ralph Lauren.…

The Self Help Sham
One of my favorite things to do in NYC is just wander around. Especially now that it’s warm out, I like to just put on my sun hat and get lost for a few hours on a Saturday. There’s never a lack of things to do or explore. Like just the other day, I happened upon a…

Sweet Angel
My heart is heavy today*. I woke up this morning to learn that a dear friend, and radiant member of the BBB community, passed away suddenly. She had been battling against the repugnant monster that is anorexia, and it stole her life, way way too soon. She was radiant in every sense of the word: encouraging, loving,…

Confession: I love Drake. Yes, thank you Canada for producing such a fine young gentleman. I know, I know, I know. Some of his songs are…morally questionable. But daaaaang they’ve got some sick beats! And sometimes, a girl’s just gotta have a dance party like it’s 1999 to some Hotline Bling and bust out my…

Community by Twilight
I was recently babysitting on a Friday night. It was late. Midnight. And the apartment has these beautiful bay windows with plush window seats. Perfect to peer down onto the streets below. The cobblestone street, dotted with cafes, where people dine alfresco on the sidewalks outside. Or you look across the street at various rooftop…

Seeds
One of my most favorite parts of being an actor is telling stories. Every show, every film – each is the baby of a writer who had something to say. Twelve Years a Slave. Woman in Gold. Forrest Gump. Gone With the Wind. The Sound Of Music. Granted, some stories are more *ahem* – sophisticated…

What I Learned From My Mother
Tammy Taylor. Carol Brady. Claire Dunphy. Marge Simpson. Claire Huxtable. Kate McCallister. Mrs. George. When it comes to movie and TV moms, we have been #blessed with all kinds. And these characters are all so lovable because we can see glimpses of our own mothers in each and every one. Some more than others, (I’m…

Body Positivity Week???
Well, in case you didn’t know, it’s “Body Positivity Week.” Yep, thanks to BuzzFeed, we’re being bombarded with full-frontal content about Forget-You-I-Love-My-Curves, and NGAFudge-ing about what anyone thinks about our cellulite, and Dag-Nabit I’m wearing a bikini if I want to, and how dare you body shame me. It’s actually kind of ironic how it’s…
