This is my column for Femina Magazine dated Oct 15th. Do pick up a copy! It’s so easy to hate people at gyms. Because we live in a world where everyone is supposed to be polished, perfect and presentable at all times. You want to look hot but the impression to be given is that […]
My column for Femina Magazine dated Aug 22nd, 2014 The conventionally unattractive man is ignored because he is, as the ad suggests, conventionally unattractive.

EDIT EDIT SUPER AWESOME EDIT: I’m so glad that deep down inside I’m a metrosexual dude and therefore spend an obnoxious amount of time on Esquire.com becasue John Richardson just wrote THIS. “WHADDYA MEAN OBAMA HASN’T DONE ANYTHING?” (http://www.esquire.com/print-this/obama-timeline-110309) I was one of the people feverishly wielding a debit card by my computer, donating to […]
