Man of Style: Brad Pitt

March 21, 2020 No Comments

Brad Pitt started gaining points in the style game a long time ago. And of all the A-list Hollywood actors, Brad Pitt is the one who has truly proved that style has no age limit, which is why I named him this month’s “Man of Style.” What was the first movie you saw that starred Brad Pitt? Was it Thelma & Louise? What about A River Runs Through It? Or was it Fight Club? Some of my other favorite movies that he starred in are {in no particular order}: Meet Joe BlackMr. & Mrs. SmithMoneyballTroyThe Tree of LifeThe Curious Case of Benjamin […]

So in keeping with the long tradition once held by the woman I admire (and wanted to be like), here is my list of fascinating people of 2013.

If I Could Be Friends With Anyone…

August 24, 2013 No Comments

I was always a bit of a nerd in school. I was never part of the “cool” crowd and I didn’t get invited to parties. I think the first party I got invited to that I actually attended was on prom night my Senior year in high school. Even in college, you could easily identify the “cool” kids and point out each clique. Me? I was on the newspaper staff for one year, and I was President of Sigma Tau Delta, the National English Honor Society. My senior year in college, I all but vanished from college life. I only […]

‘Love one person, take care of them until you die. You know, raise kids. Have a good life. Be a good friend. And try to be completely who you are. And figure out what you personally love. And like go after it with everything you’ve got no matter how much it takes.” – Angelina Jolie Photo Source: thewellnesschoicecenter.com Angelina Jolie has gotten a bad rap over the years, especially since becoming involved with Brad Pitt shortly after their movie, Mr. & Mrs. Smith. You can be “Team Aniston” or “Team Jolie”, but which ever side you’re on, you’ve got to admit […]
