Colbert makes me laugh

I’ve just spent a half hour trying to get something to load for a post. (I thought technology was supposed to make our lives easier!) I was so frustrated I gave up. Thankfully, there’s a funny, two-part interview of HRC President Joe Solmonese from The Colbert Show that cheered me up. Now I share the…

Happy Friday

Allure printed my letter!

If you pick up November’s Allure magazine, you’ll find my letter to the editor second from the top (and after another Emily!, but with one “m”). The letter is in praise of Judith Newman’s cover piece on Britney Spears this summer. I would link to it, but Allure didn’t post the cover story on their…

Totally awesome

Okay, this doesn’t have anything to do with anything serious or important but it’s really fun. Go to The Simpsons movie website and you can create an avatar of yourself, Simpsons style. Hilarious!
