Jessie Rosen - November 11, 2013

Today I’m making up for my absence last Wednesday and Friday (new book proposal, check), by providing you with absolutely priceless information completely free of cost.

My packing prowess is among my greatest points …

Jessie Rosen - November 4, 2013

You’re probably getting the hang of this sitch since my last, recent post on the topic, but just in case, here is what my whole Sunday Night Sex Talks show is all about. This month’s edition of the series recaps lessons learned during our November show! Like always, names are concealed and stories are paraphrased to protect the brave performers who tell all at each …

My Exclusive and Exceptional Intro to Los Angeles Tour

Jessie Rosen - October 31, 2013

I am fine at many things, good at a handful more and great at just a few but there is one category in which I am second to none (but R, but I now consider us one for the sake of me being the best at this thing) and that is touring people around Los Angeles. Over the past 31 days I have had not …

My Soap Box Speech on Giving Away Your Writing for Free

Jessie Rosen - October 28, 2013

via NY Times You’re in luck because this Monday post was supposed to be about my very deep thoughts on choosing to get married (in light of a busy weekend with Mom attending to things like ceremony valance fabric), but then I read an article that got me all revved up, so I’ll shelve that heavy hitter for a hump day post. Yesterday’s The New …

My Secret Domestic Disability: I Can’t Handle the Grocery Store

Jessie Rosen - October 23, 2013

I like to think that I’m very good at being an adult. I make my bed and with the perfect amount of accent pillows. I know just what to get everyone on my holiday gifting list.

On Co-Working Spaces and Sexy Lingerie

Jessie Rosen - October 21, 2013

Oh man are you going to be excited slash weirded out when you see how those two topics come together! PART ONE: Last Thursday I joined my friend Ben at the co-working space where he spends his days.

What I Learned During the October SUNDAY NIGHT SEX TALKS

I’m proud to say …

Meet My New Idol: Compton Mayor Aja Brown

Jessie Rosen - October 11, 2013

via Jezebel I planned to write a whole post today about how disappointed, disillusioned and confused I am by our government. I was going to explain how infuriating it is to seek out honest answers about what’s going in Washington from multiple sources and still have no sense of the truth. I try to keep politics off this blog, but I am so sad and …

Theory: You Can Tell if a Date is a Pass or a Fail by the 45 Minute Mark

Jessie Rosen - October 9, 2013

I heard a fascinating bit of information yesterday, third handedly, but still. R was talking to an actress friend (hi Myra!) who was referencing her daughter (hi daughter!) who has this amazing theory about dating. Her claim: that at the 45 minute mark of any given date, you’ll know if it’s a pass or a fail. Now there’s two degrees of Kevin Bacon between this …

Jessie Rosen - October 7, 2013

This post was born out of the 45 minutes I recently spent trying to get my newly straight hair (it literally just went straight after 29.5 years of being curly!!!) to curl properly using one of those curling rods every 12-year-old on YouTube seems to have mastered. Enjoy! The Top 10 Things I (Apparently) Still Need To Remind Myself …at 30 Years of Age 10. …
