When I lived in Milan I knew Ania J. as that sassy, over-the-top diva in my group of girlfriends who was always harassing us to come hang out with her at Milan’s underground club Gasoline. Six years later, this Canadian vocalist has achieved Italian fame and is hard to miss in the European club culture. [...]

Yes, the title says it all. I figured since many of us may be traveling for the upcoming winter holidays, it was time to unveil my dirty secret project: A comprehensive list of all the best nightclubs in every city in the world, expertly compiled by the jetsetters who frequent them. Some things to keep in [...]

Since I’m still too ill to go out and party, I’ve resorted to the next best thing – stalking the web for photos of myself partying. Sound pathetic? It is. So I came across a bunch of photos taken on one of these recent evenings and to my dismay found that I look absolutely horrible [...]

It’s a rainy Thursday and as I sit here with a steaming hot chocolate, complete with mini marshmallows (yes I’m still five), it seems the perfect opportunity to reflect on the other immature aspects of my life.

So a twelve-year-old Calabrese girl is now the proud owner of my Milanese life. Yep. Here’s the story. I searched the city for a TIM store (TIM is an Italian cell service provider like Cingular) that was open during the national vacation month of August. I finally found one thanks to tricky directions from a [...]

Reentering the city of Milan never fails to make me emotionally unstable. I go hot and cold on this city like a menopausal woman on drugs. New York and I have clean, adult relationship with one another. Open communication. A stable living situation. Work. Independence. Contained craziness. Reasonable expectations. Good things. With Milan on the [...]

“Basically smart women should always be dating three guys at a time.” HUH? I precariously leaned back in my chair, gripping my espresso with excitement for what my petite, spindly pal Max (MaxMara to friends) had just announced to me. “Not only will it make you happier,” he continued, “but it will help you marry the man [...]

Two weeks ago my friend Bartok directed me to this website with an email asking: ‘What the hell do we think of this? Too good to be true?’ For those of you too lazy to click on the link above, the site belongs to The Bag Addiction.com where you can get Hollywood’s hottest purses for “very affordable [...]
