Not many things (none of the things?) in my life have been perfect. Some examples: I thought I would marry the guy I was dating in my early 30s, but he took of with the local barista (not kidding). I planned to adopt one baby and have one biological baby. Biology did not cooperate. I […]
Hey, Tiger!
Did you know September is Happy Healthy Cat Month? I know, it’s like every month has at least three themes these days. But this one happens to be good timing because we recently got a kitten. And I’m remembering how important diet is for felines. My previous cat was 18 when he died four […]
That Time I Got Punched in the Face
At about 9:40pm on a recent Friday night, I learned what getting punched in the face feels like. I had just watched Gorillaz perform at San Francisco’s Outside Lands Music Festival in Golden Gate Park and was happily walking along Fulton, alone, to my car. I had left early, trying to beat the crowds—and I […]
Femme OD! A Kitten and Lots of Pink Lace
I didn’t realize how intensely feminine these photos would turn out until Elena sent them over and I saw how at home these shots would be on the cover of a ’70s folk album cover. A rattan swing, a kitten, pink lace—what did I expect? But despite how uncomfortable I usually am with this much […]

This year, headlining acts include Metallica, The Who, Gorillaz, A Tribe Called Quest, Solange, Fleet Foxes, Lorde, Alt-J and lots more.

The ’70s Wasn’t That Long Ago
Yesterday when I picked up my 5-year-old from camp, the teenage girl working the aftercare exclaimed: “I love your outfit! It’s so ’70s!” (I was wearing basically this.) I took it as a compliment, of course, since the ’70s look is what I’m drawn to and it’s my comfort zone. Then I got to thinking, […]

The Five-Minute, Five-Product Beauty Routine: Summer Edition
I’ve gone down makeup rabbit holes with liquid eyeliner and whatnot, and I’ve since vowed to keep it simple. I could watch a million makeup tutorials (and I probably have) but I’ll never be one of those women who knows how to really do up her face. And I’m OK with that. While the products may […]

Bring a Rainbow (or Five) Indoors This Summer
The 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love plus the upcoming Pride celebrations are making me want to cover my home in rainbows. Happily I found this rainbow stained glass wall hanging by Debbie Bean last year at West Coast Craft, and when Bob Dylan fell down a couple months ago—and I didn’t have the wherewithal […]
