OK, this is on my mind this week. The JFP Chick Ball—aka The Grrl Jam—is coming together fabulously; we expect throngs of people Thursday night; we have dozens and dozens of door prizes to give away; the music rocks; I can't wait to bid on art—but my big problem is what to wear.

(BTW, you can wear anything you want—from super-casual to ... read on »

Her comedy/music/passion started when as an art student, she decided to create a home for all those lost sparkly 80's sweaters. You ... read on »
