This video is the pilot episode of a mockumentary series that my sister and I made about a recent Yale graduate, Haley, who is a bit too out of touch with reality and lacking in “office experience” to get a real job, especially considering the abysmal job market. Asperger’s anyone?
It’s a MOCKumentary, I swear.

Eat Pray Love is one of those formulaic, cliché, feel-good “women’s films” that nonetheless makes me cry the whole way through. And obviously it’s based on a book, which is based on some woman’s real life experience. The only part that really bothered me about it was the happy ending.
People complained that it was episodic, [...]

Even though I wasn’t old enough to form memories in the 1980s, I am now able to appreciate the not-so-subtle beauties of that lost era — mostly through campy ’80s flicks, like the Bret Easton Ellis adaptation, Less Than Zero, starring Robert Downey Jr. in his very early drug-addict days. Something about shoulder pads on [...]

Grey Gardens is a 1970s documentary based on the infamous story of two deranged former Manhattan socialites who slid into decrepitude in their 28-room mansion in the Hamptons. This mother and daughter duo passed their time dressing in pantless outfits, fashioning turbans out of bath towels and gold brooches. They also developed a fondness for [...]

The Kids Are All Right, the new film by lesbian auteur director, Lisa Cholodenko, is one of the best family comedy/dramas that I’ve seen in years. Think of it as Little Miss Sunshine meets It’s Complicated. I never imagined that Annette Bening and Julianne Moore as lesbian mothers could provide such slapstick comedy, but just imagine two [...]

I recently received an expensive camera as a belated birthday gift, and it makes HD-quality videos, so basically, I can shoot my very own vodka advertisements, and other important things like that for Youtube.
But filmmaking is hard. Apparently even Woody Allen, the miniature king of cinema, does not yet have sufficient funding for his next [...]

I was dining at a chic Parisian restaurant when I heard the abrasive, American voice of a drunk girl. I turned my head to find Tara Reid, the D-List celebrity who is famous for partying too much and exposing her naughty bits to the paparazzi. She was in a popular, raunchy teen movie about 100 [...]

The hottest supermodels come from Brazil. Everybody knows that. Where would the Victoria’s Secret catalogue be without this genetically blessed South American nation?
A recent New York Times exposé on the subject of “model hunting” reveals that scouts target the rural Brazilian towns that were colonized by Europeans and pray that the current citizens will still [...]

I recently had the mixed fortune of landing an interview at Vogue, an opportunity that was at once a pipe dream and a nightmare. After sweating through several preliminary screenings with frosty and uninterested assistant editors, I was brought to the Supreme Judge (let’s call her “M”) who would ultimately conclude whether or not I was Vogue [...]

I went out for a girl’s night at Bus Palladium, an old-school nightclub in Paris. There was a private party/concert and Johnny Depp was apparently on the premises. My friends and I snuck ourselves in and enjoyed the mediocre, Jim-Morrison-inspired live music and amusing dance scene.
But the real drama took place when we left the [...]
