The need for a GenMeh manifesto (or mehnifesto if you prefer) has been on my mind almost from the inception of this project. I knew how I felt, knew how the people I'd shared this idea with felt and knew the vision I wanted to share with you. All that was missing were the words…

Defending Gen Y against charges of political apathy. IOU some mid-week soapboxing, so tune in tomorrow.

Psst… if you just can’t get enough of yours truly, you can also find me blogging it up over at True/Slant. Same irreverent tone as GenMeh, but more topical, soundbyte-y subject matter. One step closer to world domination!

Yesterday, I went to a birthday party. The same birthday party (well, the celebrant was a year older this time) I went to on the same weekend last year. Same people, different presents. Walking back to the bus stop after the festivities, I found myself thinking about everything that’s changed in the last 12 months…

A scheduling conflict meant that I had to switch out hip hop for jazz this week. The following end-of-class convo sums up the experience nicely: Classmate # 1: So, are you going to come back next week? Me: Um… Classmate #1: You should. You’ll pick it up eventually. E is an awesome teacher. And the…

So you have more macramé plant holders than you know what to do with? You’d like to sell some to support your expensive steamboatin’ habit? I present a handy guide to…

Rogue Models highlights interviews and discussions with diverse twenty and thirtysomethings who are putting their money where their mouths are when it comes to pursuing happiness and personal/professional fulfillment on their own terms. This is the third installment in the series. It’s not a word I throw around lightly, but Lisa Coulson is downright delightful.…

So I promised an update about Project Dance 2009… And I bet you think this is going to be one of those demure wallflower gets talked into taking a pole dancing class by her gregarious best friend and while hesitant at first, eventually gains confidence and connects with her inner stiletto-lovin’ sex kitten tales, right?…

“How about Wednesday night?” “Can’t. I have a thing.” “What kind of thing?” “Just a thing.” “Oh, a date thing?” “No…a dance class thing.” Awkward pause. “You’re taking a dance class? Really? Um, what kind of dance class?” “I don’t want to talk about it. You’ll laugh.” “I promise I won’t laugh.” “Okay, hip hop.”…
