– -was the verdict of Guest of a Guest blogger Rachelle Hruska. [Observer]
Fact. I’ve never been inside nello’s or lily pond, still think accurate.

From sister’s site:
I was instantly reminded of Rachelle’s own premature driving experience. Here’s my comment:
“Be careful! My sister and I were playing drive-thru in my dad’s Jeep and she somehow managed to roll the Jeep down the driveway into our neighbor’s new station wagon. My mom had to go to the ER for stitches in her forehead after she tried to stop the Jeep with her 100-lb....

Maybe the salaries in journalism are low because they implicitly pre-empt a collective penalty for all transgressions in the writing community. In other words, maybe all writers get a little more unpaid because of the unprofessionalism of a few.

Dear Foster Kamer:
Last night, among several other friends, I bumped into Foster Kamer at M2 for the Nightlife Protection Committee launch party. We discussed his last post for Gawker titled “Slave Labor- the New-New Media.” Foster was extremely pleasant and a good listener. Before bumping into Foster, I had worked on the piece below, which I still think deserves to be posted, as it contains my...

Print Media Still A Gem!
I will be buying the NY Times in print tomorrow for the first time in years, and I will smell it, and hold it, and know that print media is still a gem worth holding onto!

jessicachu:
If you’re smiling right now, you’re doing something right.
It’s not so much what you say that counts, it’ how you make people feel.
The biggest mistake you can make is doing nothing because you’re scared to make a mistake.
No matter how it turns out, it always ends up just the way it should be. Either you succeed or you learn something. Win-Win.
Freedom is the greatest gift. ...
Everyone’s so sensitive today.

"My Family Is Thick As Thieves"
Goodmorning Rachelle
Mom tried calling you last night, I have miles,but we need to book 48 hours in advance. If it would work you’re more than welcomed to use them. Love dad.
Email from my dad this morning. I needed to get out of here and go home for so many reasons-but seeing as him and my brother are going fishing in canada all week, I will have to put the trip on hold.

Oh the quote that cost me? Or not. It was obvious that I was referring specifically to my own product, and, in the context it was spoken was non-related to the Observer or Peter Kaplan’s work. Alas I stated this...

June 2, 2009 in Memory Lane, Sisterhood
I just saw an ad for lip plumpers on the sidebar of a news article.
Rachelle, do you remember that time you kissed William after you had applied some lip plumping lip gloss and his cheek swelled up?
That always makes me laugh.
Via the sister. I love her so much. I am so lucky. No matter what happens to me in my life, they will...
