The Red Light District in Amsterdam is one of the city’s main tourist attractions, where prostitutes pose in street-side lairs and blow kisses at passersby through large windows. Hookers trolling the streets of Zurich don’t have it as good – the Swiss have found them to be such an eye sore that police are building [...]

While riding on the Amtrak from New York to Boston I had a charming encounter with a creeper. The businessman sitting opposite me at the communal table suddenly turned his laptop screen toward me with a grin and showed me a picture of myself on the Teen Vogue website. “You stalked me,” I said, as [...]

Today my sister and I went to get tested for HIV at the local free clinic. Lately we’ve been spending a lot of time going through all our earthly possessions and donating all our crap to Goodwill.

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.

Blenheim – an 18th century palace nestled among resplendent gardens, shimmering lakes, and stately trees- is England’s Versailles. With 2500 acres of verdant fields and elegant rose gardens, it’s no wonder the English gentry flock here for picnics by the river and a little afternoon delight in the property’s arboretum. Tourists come to see where Winston Churchill spent his childhood [...]

Renowned film director and creeper Roman Polanski faces more allegations of sexual abuse, this time by the middle-aged British actress Charlotte Lewis. She claims Polanski forced himself on her back in 1982 when she was a budding 16-year-old starlet.
