Do You Think More Couples are Opposites or the Same?

Jessie Rosen - February 1, 2014

The other night R and I had oysters, artisan grilled cheeses and red wine with our friend Alison because it was Wednesday and we know how to live (note: Alison actually had a dirty martini because she is a total boss. HI ALISON!) . At one point R hijacked our conversation about Allison’s incredible new-ish boyfriend and turned things into an sociology class, but we …

The Magnitude of What We Now Have To “Know”

Jessie Rosen - January 28, 2014

I’ve been avoiding writing this post all day because I don’t know what to say, and not knowing what to say makes me crazy uncomfortable. Someone once told me that the best thing to do in times of fuzziness is start with statements of truth. Write what do you know to be absolute fact. Don’t worry about the grey area.  Ok. I have some friends …

Pro/Con Debate: Hiring a Business Manager

Jessie Rosen - January 22, 2014

As mentioned, R and I have decided to engage in some marriage planning to go along with our wedding planning. The former is way more boring, overwhelming and void of fashion-related choices than the latter, but I’m playing along. Step one of one bagillion has been the question of whether or not to start a relationship with a business manager/business management firm. What does a …

Sorry. I Tried But I Can’t Stay Silent on This Lena Dunham/Jezebel/Vogue Photos Issue

Jessie Rosen - January 17, 2014

You guys. I’m so confused by this Lena Dunham/Vogue cover story/Jezebel/everyone on Facebook situation. Here’s what I believe went down: Vogue photoshopped their pix of Lena to make her look “better” than her natural self (skinner neck, skinnier waist, covered-up boobs, etc.) Jezebel offered 10K for the original shots, got them, and published them with disappointed/angry commentary (“Lena Dunham and her fans, ourselves included, love …

On Wedding Planning vs. Marriage Planning

Jessie Rosen - January 17, 2014

No idea who Zig Ziglar is, but this was too perfect not to post Sometimes it’s easy to forget among the invitation designing, table arranging and internal debating of how many Janet Jackson songs you can get away with playing at your reception (3?? What if it’s a Michael/Janet duet??) that you’re not just getting a wedding at the end of these 13 months of …

Surrendering to the Perfect Bride Body Obsession

Jessie Rosen - January 8, 2014

This is going to be short because I’m A. mortified by my complete and utter defeat over the powers of the wedding devil on my shoulder and B. have to finish the rest of my writing work so I can fit in my Jillian Michael’s DVD before R gets home to we head to a Pilates class. Yes, that’s where we’re at. I’m four months …

30 Resolutions for 30-Somethings

Jessie Rosen - January 2, 2014

Exactly one year ago I wrote an article for Thought Catalog called 20 Resolutions for 20-Somethings. Today on account of my age bracket increase I have to add ten more ideas to the list and make everything sound more adult. #Woeis30, but here’s hoping this list of suggested to-do’s will help us all fake it into adulthood a bit more this coming year. 1. If …
