Growing Up Doesn't Always Mean Being a Grown Up.
Submitted by Erin on Mon, 07/12/2010 - 12:30
Growing up, every child had the ambition to become a superhero, whether it was Batman or Wonder Woman. Unfortunately, that dream got pushed to the side along with being a princess or a Transformer. We grew up and became more realistic successes, going to school or working, becoming contributing members of society.

The ever-growing popularity of pirates, mostly thanks to Johnny Depp, is an undeniable part of our culture. People speak Pirate, dress like them, and live their lives like them in every way possible. But, like I said, much of this popularity has come from movies in the last few years. Other than the pirates in Somalia and other small areas, not much happens that relates to pirate culture anymore.

Keeping Your Dog in Cartier
Submitted by Erin on Mon, 06/21/2010 - 12:30
There’s nothing quite like the bond an owner forms with her dog, and there’s nothing wrong with looking after your loved one after you pass on. But much like people who go a little overboard with their pets during their lives, some people tend to spoil them unnecessarily after the owner dies. In one such extreme case, Gail Posner, an heiress to her father’s fortune who recently died, decided to leave her Chihuahua, Conchita, with a $3 million trust fund, along with the privilege of remaining in her $8.3 million Miami Beach mansion. In order to guarantee Conchita’s proper treatment, Ms. Posner also left her bodyguards, housekeepers and a personal trainer $27 million, including $5 million to a housekeeper charged with caring for Conchita and two other dogs.

Keeping your professional life and your personal life separate is common in any work industry, and everyone knows you don’t mix the two.

And this didn’t happen because you had an affair with a coworker or caused a legal issue, but because you had a baby with your now-husband.

If you’ve spent your entire life being praised for your beauty, envied by others, and worshipped by men, I have some unfortunate news for you. That beauty that’s been such an asset, might now be your fatal flaw. If it happened to Debrahlee Lorenzana, it can happen to you. Lorenzana was an employee with Citigroup. Last year she found herself fired under unusual circumstances- she was too attractive, and became a distraction to her male employees with her “tall stature” and “curvaceous figure.”
