Where Would I Be Without Her?

This week’s blog is dedicated to Allison Ebner who recently graduated from Loyola University Maryland with a BA in English Literature, Magna Cum Laude.

HOW COULD I HAVE EVER DONE THIS WITHOUT ALLISON???

When Tom Murro contacted me to do a weekly blog for his site, my first thoughts were “Oh my God! I don’t know if I can be a writer!” There’s not any one thing I’m proficient at, except ice skating,…Read full post

House Hunting in the Hamptons

I recently decided I’d like to buy a piece of property in the Hamptons. I just love the ambiance and the elegance there: the beautiful stores, the beautiful people, and the great restaurants.

So this past weekend I went out to visit. When my girlfriend, Susan, and her boyfriend, Les, who I had met last summer in Capri, Italy, and have since become very good friends with, heard…Read full post

Rehab and Michael Lohan on the High Seas

As everyone in the world knows, Michael Lohan and I are very close. As a result, he invited me out to Ft. Lauderdale to participate in a reality pilot about teens and their addictions. Now, this pilot is his idea and he is very involved with teen rehabs all around the country, helping set them up everywhere he can. Having both his daughter and himself had addictions, he’s just…Read full post

From the Horse’s Mouth: Stepping Down

The Mrs. New Jersey United States pageant was very excited to have me as a contestant and I was just as excited to do it because I was going to be involved. Almost immediately I said yes, but gave myself a week to give it some real thought. I said yes, again. I decided to get the dress, strut the runway, look glamorous, meet the other contestants, you know, really dive…Read full post

Stepping Down as Mrs. New Jersey Judge

As you know, I recently co-hosted a mixer for the 2^nd annual New Jersey Fashion Week at the W Hotel’s Chandelier Room in Hoboken.

I had had a very busy Friday, but I was looking forward to a great evening. I was stamping around and going crazy trying to make it there for a 6 PM arrival. But it was just impossible! And to top it off, the traffic from Franklin…Read full post

Michael Lohan: The Good, Bad, & Ugly

If you expect me to trash him or give details of our relationship, I’m not going to.

I take a person for what they are to me. Michael has been nothing but kind, considerate, and caring to me. When we met, we hit it off instantly! He was very gracious and very nice as we were shooting a pilot together. He flew all the way in from California to be a…Read full post

N.J. Fashion Week and Late Night Cheeseburgers

This past Friday night was the beginning of preparations for something I’ve been looking forward to since October… the 2^nd Annual New Jersey Fashion Week!

This was the weekend things really got started. There was a mixer for everyone involved with New Jersey Fashion Week. Basically it was a preliminary meet-up for everyone who’s going to be involved – and even those who want to be involved! – with the exciting…Read full post

The Blaque Party

Two words: leather and fetish.

Yes, that’s how I spent my Saturday night! I was invited by the gay men’s Club Feathers to attend and judge last night’s Blaque Party in River Edge, New Jersey, and I was ready and willing to accept! I had judged their Halloween costume contest last year, so I was already in love with the place and the people. And I teamed up with the same wonderful judges, too: Adam…Read full post

An Evening in Little Italy

I’m telling you, there’s never a dull moment!

Last week, I attended a birthday party at Casabella, which is this fantastic restaurant on the corner of Mulberrry and Hester Street in the heart of Little Italy. It’s owned by my very good friend Bitsie and is my favorite restaurant in all of New York City.

That night, there were about 14 of us and we all arrived around 7 PM. We hung around…Read full post

A Wildcat Weekend at University of Arizona

… Where do I begin???

The road trip began on not such a good note.  Prior to going to visit my son, John, at school I wanted to surprise him with 12 pounds of skirt steak from the Market Basket, a local gourmet store.  This is his favorite meat and impossible to get in Tucson so I knew it would be special for him!

I packed it up, called the airline to…Read full post
