Blog profile
After learning that my high school stint at McDonald’s wouldn’t get me a job at a mag, I worked as a freelance journalist for a few years. With much haggling and many annoying phone calls, I got a job at Cosmo! As web ed, no two days are the same – some days I’ll be at a video or photo shoot, others I’m interviewing celebs or updating myself on the latest goss (all for research purposes, obviously).
Apart from that, I have a healthy addiction to cupcakes, clutches and Christian Bale. I once watched a VH1 countdown of ‘The 50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs Ever’ and was proud to announce that I loved every last one of them. I’m very good at tripping over, talking too loud and saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. Oh … and in an acrostic poem that my friends wrote about me, the “e” in my name stood for “embarrassing.”

News just in...
The rainy day women revolt
On the fourth rainy morning running, we weren't surprised to hear that, even though the month of June is just 5 days old, we're already reached half the average amount of rainfall. Unfortunately, the rain shows no signs of stopping. This means that heels are out and boots are in; coats are on and little slippy cardigans have been banished to the back of the wardrobe. Drinks after work are decidedly a thing of the past - it's all red wine in front of the heater from now on in. And as for shopping on our lunchbreaks? O-V-A-H. Who wants to step out into the pelting rain, only to return to work drenched and drowned? Not us.
And after that rather upbeat weather report...here's some other stuff rocking our Thursday morning.
Phrase stalker
We love this new phrase from urbandictionary.com - June Year's resolution. Didn't quite manage to stick to your New Year's resolution? Never mind - reprise your intentions now. My JYR is to drink more water and eat more fruit. Boring? Probably. Necessary? You betcha (my jeans will thank me).
Good girl gone bad?
After Anne Hathaway's come-unwrap-me leather dominatrix dress at this week's MTV Movie Awards (see it here) we were sure that this good girl had gone bad, Rihanna-style. Not so, says Miss Hathaway. She told Parade magazine, "It's not that I'm all that bad...I just think that people had this idea that I sat at home and sucked on lollipops and ate cotton candy while I watched cartoons. Wearing a tiara."
And in fashion news...
Over 1000 people are expected to attend the late Yves Saint Laurent's funeral. Farewell, Mr YSL.
Plus!
You heard it here first. Victoria Beckham was seen outside 4 Times Square, the home of US Vogue, on Tuesday morning...could we be seeing Posh's mug on the cover soon?

This year, I will...
Warning: this is a cliched blog topic. If you'd like to steer clear of this January blogging ritual, please feel free to read yesterday's blog, which you might find a lot more interesting, if slightly less hackneyed.
For the rest of you...
