Skinny is in, just in case you missed the memo and somehow also missed being whacked over the head with the skinny mallet by every single media outlet. But it is no longer enough to just be thin. You must be skeletal. Lumpy thin, a la Kirsten Dunst, is so nineties. Anyone can starve, darlings. …
We’ve all had them. They read like the Best Of ESPN sports reel in our memories. They fill us with pride and awe and emotion and strength. And confidence. I’m talking about the good days. Not just the good days but the days when you are really on. Somehow you woke up with boundless energy, …
THIS is my kind of inspiration. Plus, the woman’s expression? Priceless. Celebrity diet-and-exercise pieces are the bread and butter of the gossip rags.

I do read and enjoy every single comment you guys make (and don’t worry about correcting me – I’m all about the learning! So call …
I don’t watch movies. Or TV. Yeah, I know, I’m a riot at cocktail parties. Good thing I dance funny or I’d never get invited anywhere. But my kids watch the occasional movie. (What? A mom’s got a get a break sometime. You think this website runs itself? My kids DON’T NAP.) And ever since …
In a cage fight between skinny & strong who will win? On the left we have Jaslene Gonzales, winner of America’s Next Top Model, Cycle Whatever. On the right we have an unnamed CrossFit woman.
