Online dating profiles that make you think.
When I was a girl, I found my sister’s wig and soaked it in red dye. My goal was to wear it while gliding around and doing mime in some misguided attempt to be the next David Bowie (he studied mime). As I write this, I see that, perhaps, I had a lapse in logic or was undergoing some biochemical malfunction. Still, at the time, I thought my plan was solid and my rise to fame was certain. My sister,… read more →

Online Dating Profiles. The Agony, Part 19.
It’s back. After a teeny break (I’ve been swamped and can’t thank all of you enough for sharing my blogs and making my business grow), the next installment of Online Dating Profiles. The Agony is ready to entertain you. Years ago I saw one of the funniest condom commercials ever. I happened to see it again the other day and realized that everything, from the scene to the cautionary message at the end, makes me think of certain crazed online… read more →
Online Dating Profiles. The Agony, Part 18.
When it comes to radio ads, it’s a copywriter’s job to write a script and then hire an announcer to read it in a studio where it gets recorded. At some point in a copywriter’s career, if not at several points, a studio engineer will inevitably play a recording of Orson Welles reading a script about frozen peas where he goes into one long, surly, condenscending rant. It’s both shocking and entertaining. Though announcers are usually decent, friendly people… read more →
Online Dating Profiles and the meaning of lol.
I just learned that the Oxford dictionary has added some more words that could ruin the English language and, essentially, everything dear to me. And, no, I’m not being melodramatic. They’ve added “whatevs” and “obvs” among this. This hurts in ways I can’t express – but if I could – I would most certainly express using entire words. Here’s an article about the 35 modern words now added to the dictionary. Below, however, you’ll find a blog post I did… read more →
Online Dating Profiles. The Agony, Part 17.
I once worked with an Art Director with whom I tried to bond by applying all the usual techniques common among humans. If we both liked an activity, I’d say “I like that too.” If she recounted an experience that I had shared as well, I’d say “That happened to me too.” If she had an opinion I agreed with, I’d say “Me too.” Despite my efforts, the more I tried to bond through similarities (though few and far between),… read more →
Online Dating Profiles. The Agony, Part 16.
It’s Easter, the time of year when people fill their tummies with sweetness and joy. Well, most people. In some parts of the world – specifically dating sites – some people prefer a more sour approach. Truth be told, as one who tends to be sweet (my blog, my choice of adjectives), I find the more sour, the more fascinating. So, on that note, I bring you the 16th installment of “Online Dating Profiles. The Agony” where I feature… read more →
Online dating and, well, baseball analogies.
I used to be a big fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I believed that if I was just a little bit buffer, a little bit more flexible, a little bit more intense, and a lot less absolutely terrified of vampires with bloodlust (or all vampires for that matter), I too could make a career out of kickboxing my gory, violent way through the undead underground. However, because I wasn’t quite there yet, I had my marketing career to fall… read more →
Online Dating Profiles. The Agony, Part 15.
I admit that crazy, rage-infused conniptions fascinate me. Meatloaf’s meltdown on Celebrity Apprentice left me aflutter. Charlie Sheen, though sad, kept my attention forever. And Chris Brown? His window-breaking, shirt-ripping episode on Good Morning America made me so giddy I could have kissed him! Well, blown him a kiss…from a safe distance.Point is, lunatics are entertaining, which is why my series “Online Dating Profiles. The Agony” is getting some attention. (On that note, thank you so much for sharing my… read more →
