Featured Interview


Jules Kirby
Jules Kirby is not just your average jet-setting international socialite. Rather than dazzling the benefit circle, Jules is more likely to be found on the beach surfing or diving in exotic destinations ranging from Thailand to St. Barths. This spring she added to her list of accolades and opened a boutique, Jolika, in Belle-ile-en-Mer, France - an island off the coast of Normandy where she’s called home since March 2007.

No Scatological Humor On The Subway, Please

cottonelle ads9:30 am. Coffee steaming from my grip as I blink back the sleep deprivation accumulated from an overactive weekend. The F train screeches into the station. Standing room only, as per usual. Mostly the clean smells of showers, hair product, and the occasionally ill-advised dollar store perfume spritz. Then, the inevitable. Some foul odor from some anonymous, hateful bottom. And the only thing staring at me from all angles are these stupid Cottonelle ads. Their slogan? “Be Kind to Your Behind.” One of their banners reads, “Too much Fiber?” The irony was overwhelming. As was the stench. Needless to say, I am not a fan of these ads. Booooo.
