Find Your Den of Dorks

March 21, 2012 in Blog, Embrace Your Dork

The entire arena is filled with throbbing dance music and cheering dancing people, wearing costumes and waving streamers.  The rise and fall of the chants and fight songs is reminiscent of a High School Friday football game against archrivals. However, this event is louder, more colorful, brighter, sparkly-er somehow, and pulsing with actual brilliance. This… Read more »

Can I ask a HUGE favor?  If we are ever out together at a Swanky Function, Networking Event or Family Reunion, could you subtly ask the person with whom we are speaking, what is THEIR NAME? Thanks, I’ll buy you a drink. I embarrassingly and consistently struggle to remember names.  As a Motivational Speaker, I know… Read more »

I awoke this morning to a full-fledged Media Barrage…   Radio stations blasting about the current situation on the other side of the world, YouTube videos of small freakishly talented children singing Italian arias, TV commercials involving shrieking clowns and small toy unicorns, and the song “It’s gonna be a Good Life!” playing over top it… Read more »

Biology Teacher.  That is actually what I wrote on my college applications.  Biology?  Teacher?   What? While I can’t even remember why I wrote that (ode to my cute high school physics teacher perhaps) it makes me smile, because I know the person who wrote that wanted to be a BIOLOGY TEACHER dammit!  And she is… Read more »

Dear Becket, I am trying to find a way to tell you how much I love you. There was a night recently when we were traveling, when I was awake all night in our hotel room worrying how I could describe it to you. My love for you is deeper than the deepest depth, wider than… Read more »

Once upon a time, I was the Assistant Designer for Banana Republic evening-wear, swim-wear, active-wear, and intimates.  I was part of an International Design Team housed in a gorgeous old warehouse in the garment district of NYC with gothic pillars and floor to ceiling windows and an open limit shopping account.   My boss was a… Read more »
