So, you guessed it — I am still unemployed. Therefore, the episodes of my mockumentary web series will continue to be produced. In case you don’t already know about my pathetic little venture, Give Me A Job is about a recent Yale graduate, Haley, who is a bit too out of touch with reality and lacking [...]

The Prime Minister of Italy, Silvio Berlusconi, made quite the bold/gauche statement this week: “It’s better to be passionate about beautiful girls than gay.” He was defending himself for having had an affair with a 17-year-old erotic dancer. Silvio is 74 years old, and I guess he likes them perky.
The dancer (“Ruby”) claimed that things [...]

It’s hard to imagine Anna Wintour (perennial bob, sunglasses, and tweed skirt suit intact) poring over pornographic centerfolds, but before she was the editor-in-chief at Vogue, she spent several years as fashion editor at the adult magazine Viva, sister of Penthouse and geared towards a demographic of horny women. Viva’s pages were predominantly filled with graphic nudity and [...]

So now that I have returned to Paris, after four months of being back in the United States, I am appreciating all that the French have to offer. Except for one thing — their obsession with critiquing you on your appearance. It’s a severely gauche cultural trait that they think is totally normal and acceptable.
Yes, [...]

A very gauche dean at St. John’s University doubled as a pimp to her scholarship students. That is to say, Cecilia Chang had a unique way of capitalizing on her most talented and money-hungry students — Chang treated them as slaves and even forced some of her female students to act as evening escorts to [...]

In college, it’s not unheard of for athletic teams, fraternities, and groups of friends to share stories about drunken hook-ups, divulging whatever details they can remember, comparing notes, and laughing (somewhat sadistically) over particularly absurd or lewd encounters. A recent graduate from Duke University has taken this type of over-sharing to the next level with [...]

The cost of living in New York City is exorbitantly expensive, whether you’re paying $1500 in monthly rent for a bedbug infested closet in the trendy West Village, or $4 for an apple in your local bodega. To compensate for buying things they can’t afford, Manhattanites will go to great lengths to get a deal.
The [...]

There is a loophole in the overpriced New York City housing crisis: you can live in a child’s rubber playhouse for a mere $500 a month! Such elegance. Now you can reside in the blissful solitude of a real studio apartment for far less than you would if you lived in a tiny room with [...]

This is the 2nd episode of my mockumentary web series, Give Me A Job, 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?
In “The Bottom,” Haley talks about her high [...]

I found a great deal on an apartment in the West Village. Prime location. Good space. The only thing was that the shower was in the kitchen. And the toilet was down the hall. But no worries–there was a padlock on the door and everything. Such elegance.
And the building manager was even offering one month [...]
