Romance on the Back Burner?

Finding what you love can be as important as finding who you love. By Paget Pizitz Well, it’s May. There are a few reasons to celebrate this month. First, it’s my birthday: happy 58th to me. With a little botox and some Jergens tan towels, I don’t look a day over 50. Second, Louis the… Read More

Kid Tested

Put children first in the dating equation. By Paget Pizitz First, I want to preemptively apologize now for the brevity of this column, as I already know it is going to be short and sweet but, as always, rarely to the point. Perhaps some of you will breathe a sigh of relief knowing my words… Read More

Let Your Flag Fly

Let Your Flag Fly Crazy cannot be concealed (for long). By Paget Pizitz Seeing as this column was due approximately three days ago, I am going to spare you the opening paragraph about Louis the cat because I can actually sum it up with much brevity. I delivered him to the vet today and asked… Read More

Questions of the Heart

Jeez, that sounds dramatic. By Paget Pizitz Well, Happy Valentine’s Day. I hope you are all so in love that you fall down on Cupid’s arrow and it splits open your pancreas and you spend February 14th in the emergency room eating cafeteria food hoping you don’t bleed out before you get your dozen roses… Read More

Happy Whatever

But here are few encouraging words. By Paget Pizitz Happy 2010 my friends! It’s a New Year so let’s celebrate and make this one count! Really, try to put the best foot forward and be the most wonderful version of yourself you can be. Take your bad habits, replace them with healthier ones, rid yourself… Read More

Besties

The one and only… By Paget Pizitz I’m a Jew and Louis the cat is a Jew. However, we both turn into giddy school kids during the Christmas season. The lights, furious angry crowds frantically buying last minute thoughtless presents, holiday parties with cocktail shrimp platters, Christmas Vacation on loop, and the dogs in mountain… Read More

What are Words For?

The communications business has done little to help us understand one another. By Paget Pizitz If you have a fleeting attention span, November’s column will be perfect for you. As I write this, I’m on a flight to Berlin to meet my friend Macreadie and his beastly Russian boyfriend, Dmitri. I sense that Robin from… Read More

Control

Take it or give it. By Paget Pizitz I’m going to give a quick shout-out to Louis the cat because this column can’t seem to start without some mention of the feline. Last Monday, he ate the ears off my oldest teddy bear and threw them up in the corner of my bathtub. You know,… Read More

Not Tonight

Navigating the bedroom. By Paget Pizitz I’m writing this column after two sleepless nights. It’s amazing how sleep deprivation takes a toll on the mind. Monday I prepaid for gas and drove away without filling the tank. Nothing makes me feel more blonde than driving off only to run out of gas a quarter mile… Read More

Gimme Shelter

Trending romance By Paget Pizitz I vaguely remember closing last month’s column with the promise of a more light-hearted read for August. As I write these words, I realize it’s 101 degrees outside and my air-conditioning has just broken. I know this because I went to get ice from the freezer and found Louis the… Read More

Made for Each Other

Wake up and smell the coffee, Cinderella. By Paget Pizitz Typically, I would start this column with some idiotic story about what Louis the cat ate (this week, a gummy shark), a description of some Fourth of July sequined hat I’ve made him or a tale from my childhood involving a pet deer that I… Read More
