Apparently, I have a celebrity doppelganger. "Yall got Gabrielle Union back here," the UPS man asked my co-worker. I turned around and half-smiled, "You look just like her," he said before grabbing his clipboard and walking away. I remember the first time I heard that, I was in...

If you were to peek in my bag right now, I would be embarrassed. There's a lipgloss I've been meaning to send as a thank-you, a necklace I broke as a reminder to fix it with Gorilla Glue, a necklace I broke that needs to be...

I had one of those full circle moments on Tuesday. I was in a Pre-Spring/Resort Press Preview and Kanye West's "Touch the Sky" came on. 'Kay, so two things. One, my friends and I had just been dissecting Yeezus and how it differs from his...
