Barbie was one of my favorite toys growing up. Hands down. I loved building houses for her, creating walls on my dresser out of my double-fold Grease and Muppet Movie albums, making furniture out of old tissue boxes, dressing her up, playing out scenarios of glamourous parties and a fabulous life. As a child, IContinue reading “I’m a Barbie Girl”

Confessions of a Kissing Bandit
Many, many, many years ago on a small college campus in New York, a young woman set out to get a Bachelor’s degree in History. With her sights set on law school and armed a healthy obsession with all things historical, including bodice ripper romance novels, this exuberant young woman was eager to become theContinue reading “Confessions of a Kissing Bandit”
You’re Too…
Loud. Flirtatious. Fancy. Assertive. Bossy. Crazy. Angry. Bold. Sensitive. Noisy. Clumsy. Provocative. Flighty. Dreamy. Curious.

Keep Your Heels High
I’m a woman who likes heels; I never met a pair of heels I didn’t like. The bolder the better. Red stilettos and polka-dot kitten heels. Peep toe and closed toe. Ankle straps and sling backs. Bring them all to me; I am the Veruca Salt of shoes, people. Don’t know who Veruca Salt is?Continue reading “Keep Your Heels High”
I’m a Recovering Julie McCoy
Hi. My name is Shannon. I am a recovering Julie McCoy. It’s been 18 days since I threw my last party. First and foremost… and you know this is coming. If you don’t know who Julie McCoy is, you need to get your ass over to Google. Right. Now. I’ll wait. Ok, good? Good. AsContinue reading “I’m a Recovering Julie McCoy”
