Also at the tea (where three selections were served, Darjeeling, Earl Grey, Bolivian) were "Sex and the City" actress Cynthia Nixon, her partner, Christine Marinoni, some of the young women Mrs. Obama has been mentoring, also military spouses, and a diverse group of women ...
LAS VEGAS (Nov. 13) - Some hotly anticipated new themed slot machine games based on "Sex and the City" and "American Idol" may headline next week's Global Gaming Expo, but the real buzz at the year's most important gambling tech show will be over next month's debut of the world's first casino to run all its machines off a common computer server. That revolution, referred to as "server-based gaming," could portend huge changes for the player. The system can turn the face of a slot machine into a computer screen, where players can choose the game they want at the denomination they desire. In ...
Single women looking for Mr. Right in Washington, D.C., have profound regional challenges. The ratio of 80 unmarried men to 100 single women in the 10 mile square D.C. geography compares catastrophically to, say, Chatahoochee County, Ga., or Fairbanks Alaska, where there are supposedly 159 single men for every 100 women (disclaimer: It's been said that though the "odds are good" a girl should consider also that "the goods are odd"). Maybe their scarcity enhances the high self-regard of bright, young Washington players and strivers like Lizzie's erstwhile suitor, who narrowed his lady friend ...
Emily, I would love to be able to tell you how to mix chronicling D.C. with your personal life, but my only D.C. dating experience never came to pass. It does involve, however, one of the more hilarious e-mails I've ever received. The brief background: I joined J-Date after I returned from a sojourn in Europe to Baltimore and realized I could no longer swan around in cafes, acquiring passionate Spaniards. I got this e-mail the day of a proposed meeting. ...
On Saturday night, I had a first date with a guy who told me that he had read a bunch of my columns, and that I'm a very funny writer. Nice compliment. He then said that he laughed hardest at my column on eHarmony, which is about my wanting to get married and being rejected by the online dating site. Gulp. He also asked if anything he said would end up in one of my stories. I said everyone in my life gets quoted at some point or another (my poor dad is still getting questions about a goats and cows dowry in his back yard in Baltimore.) Then I got to thinking, why does my fictional ...
When my husband brought home the latest issue of Montana Kaimin, the school paper produced at his alma mater, the journalism school of the University of Montana, I was surprised to read a sample column by one of the students. Undergrad Bess Davis writes an opinion column titled Bess Sex about, well, sex. Sex columns in general interest publications started in the 1990s with Dan Savage's syndicated Savage Love and the almost quaint Sex in the City by Candace Bushnell in the New York Observer, but I had missed that risqué reads have become standard fare for college papers. In the issue on my ...
