I love the name of maternity lines because a good majority of them remind me of porn, like HotMilk, Fierce Mama, and Boobs. At what feels like the most unattractive point in a woman’s journey into motherhood the retail world like to remind you of how you got there. Truthfully, I need a sense of [...]
Kooky Holiday Cards
Shocking my family members has been a past time of mine since I was born. My first Christmas as a wife and mom meant my first family holiday card. We are a mix breed family; my husband is an atheist, but comes from an Orthodox family and I am a Catholic Jew that practices both [...]
Have Children Will Travel
In the beginning of our lives together my husband and I decided that we were going to maintain our jetsetting lifestyle no matter the extra baggage of an infant. Our child was going to be better behaved because she would be magnificently cultured. Guess what? Cultured babies barf and cry too. Lyra took her first [...]
The Hardest-Working Hunk in Hollywood: Pittsburgh’s Joe Manganiello
Five years ago before babies and husband, I never had crushes on celebrities. I was aloof to chiseled looks and smoldering smiles. The crushes I did have were hold overs from the 80s like Kiefer Sutherland in Lost Boys. So it is no surprise in my “desperate housewife” status I convert back to vampires in my [...]

While I was covering New York Fashion Week Spring 2012 this past September, I got to interview a few designers about their collections for next year and sneak in a few questions about how their childhood still inspires their creativity. The most standout designers that really captured the rebellious sentiments of what would become the “Occupy Enter [...]
Halloween Mama
When I was in college my favorite Halloween costume was to dress as a pregnant Catholic school girl using my old AHS uniform stuffed with a pillow. Maybe my karma came to bite me in my butt because a decade later I got pregnant after a Masquerade Ball on Halloween weekend. Two years after that I was [...]
Mama Does Montreal
Appearing on StyleSegment.com today Since ballooning like Violet Beauregard from Willy Wonka with my third pregnancy in four years, my husband and I decided to forgo our long awaited adult-only trip to Paris and go to the next best thing on the North American side of the planet, Montreal. I had just returned from a week in [...]
The Greed of Green
The blog entitled the Greed of Green has been taken down because of a Cease and Desist Letter from lawyers representing E. Sota (Riverside Development) and Diana Lynn (One80 Real Estate). It was never my intent to cause “defamation per se”. My husband and I bought a home from Ernie and Diana. It is lawful [...]
My 9-11: How I changed my life on that day
There are ghosts haunting the streets of NYC this weekend and although I have tried to avoid reliving the sadness, loss, and anger of Sept 11th there are some aspects of those emotions that are the origins of my current happiness. In 2001 I graduated from NYU with a Masters in Journalism. I was renting [...]
A Fashion Story
In honor of this Friday’s fashion event that will benefit Partners for Quality I give you a fashion story by me Last September, I had so many cocktails at the Pittsburgh Fashion Story charity function held at J Verno Studios in the South Side that I filled my nursing anatomy with vodka infused leche the [...]
