At the tender age of seven, Sherri nearly killed a promising fiction career when she abandoned pen and paper in favor of a new medium: acting out her fantasies with Barbie dolls. Fortunately, the universe believes in second chances. She put down the Barbies, picked up a laptop computer, and published her first novel, a historical romance, before turning thirty. The youngest of the Whine Sisters, Sherri Browning Erwin makes her home in Massachusetts, where she continues to sacrifice Barbie dolls to the gods of fiction in hopes of scoring wild critical and commercial success before she hits another dramatic milestone birthday. Sherri married her own Mr. Right, Mr. Always Right, the same year she graduated from Mount Holyoke College. They live happily ever after with a charming son, a lovely daughter, a crafty corgi(Pembroke Welsh) and a very special pug.
Astrological Sign: Libra. Diplomatic and charming. Indecisive and self-indulgent.
Favorite Leading Man: Johnny Depp
Favorite Comfort Food: Fluffernutter. http://www.wickedwhoopies.com/

Is there any better way to welcome Monday? Kidding. I started with a breakfast smoothie, tequila free. Check out Smoothies 101 at my other blog, Sherri and Charlotte. But Saturday was Cinco de Mayo and Kentucky Derby Day, and both occasions called for celebration here at Casa Erwin. Especially with my dad staying with me [...]

Heaven knows, we need never be ashamed of our wolfish cravings. . . . Bristly, sensitive, and meat-hungry Pip is a robust young whelp, an orphan born under a full moon. Between hunting escaped convicts alongside zombified soldiers, trying not to become one of the hunted himself, and hiding his hairy hands from the supernaturally [...]

Girls, as in the HBO show Girls, and not “watching girls” in general. Have you seen it? If you haven’t seen it, you have no doubt heard about it because it seems to be all some of my favorite blogs can discuss lately. Usually with vitriol and not without a mention of nepotism. Girls stars [...]

There’s fire. Scary, big, rapid-spreading flames. It happened to my dad on Monday. His place of residence caught fire while he was out with his dog (thank goodness he was out with his dog). He came home to this: April 23: ACK! No one wants to come home to that. Everything he owned except his [...]

A few weeks ago, VB brought these to my attention. A new twist on MC Hammer pants? Picnic Pants! When you need a handy table, just look to your crotch. Um, yeah. I don’t want to touch these. Something else that shouldn’t be touched? Other people’s cell phones! Other people! Celebrities who have recently gotten [...]

The other night, I had a dream that I was in the first few rows of the audience at a Duran Duran concert and Simon Le Bon was singing right to me! Looking right at me! Be still my heart. And I woke up and said, “Are you kidding me? I’m over forty and still [...]

Cheat on your significant others- also see: Hook up with your costar while married to someone else (that was for you, Brad Pitt). Exhibit your penis online (yeah, Anthony Weiner). Wear socks with [...]

Which is why I am late getting my blog post up. Heh heh. I was caught up in surfing the web. Sorry. Here are some of the things that occupy my time, when I should be blogging or writing. Don’t get carried away (like me!): 7 Great Time-Wasters (according to HuffPo)– And yes, I’m still [...]

I’m sure I’m not the only one excited about the upcoming Hunger Games movie. I devoured the books and I can’t wait to see how it plays out on screen. I think it looks phenomenal. The Harry Potter series was probably the first of the recent series of books to catch on like wildfire and [...]

Molly writes a wickedly funny series about vampire Jane Jameson, Nice Girls Don’t… Her latest Jane book (Nice Girls Don’t Bite Their Neighbors) just dropped, so I thought it would be a nice time to ask her to come around for another visit. The one in which Molly discusses her process of coming up with [...]

Billy Crystal came back to host and give us a presumably good show (mediocre in reality, not bad but not exciting). The Artist won. Jean Dujardin won. Meryl won. Christopher Plummer won. Octavia won. What else do we need to know? Who wore what! Of course. The gowns! The glam! The gah, what was she [...]

In honor of Valentine’s Day, and to show our love and appreciation to our readers and commenters, we decided to hold a contest to give a Kindle Fire to one commenter selected at random. And bonus, I made a Super Bowl bet with that tricky Giants fan Kathleen O’Reilly to buy a $10 gift card [...]

I was going to blog about fashion week today, and fashion is fun! But the Grammy awards were last night, and the show sadly had to become a tribute to Whitney Houston, who passed away unexpectedly on Saturday afternoon. I’m writing on Sunday, so my guess is that the big news, besides Whitney, is Adele’s [...]

Part of the fun of watching Downton Abbey, if you happen to be hooked like I am, is seeing the glorious Edwardian fashions. I’ve enjoyed the era so much that I’ve been watching other Edwardian pieces, like Room with a View (God, I love that movie! Maggie Smith! Young Helena B-C’s hair! Naked Bathing Scene!). [...]

Pinterest! Have you heard of it? It’s the new thing. You take things that interest you online and you pin the pictures to boards and basically have a whole bunch of “Boards” (pinboards, bulletin boards, what have you) in different interests, like travel, food and wine, fashion. I have one on Proper Victorian Vampyre Slaying, [...]

First bit of advice for the New Year: don’t meet your idols. Chances are, when your idol happens along, you won’t be ready. You might be like me, holding leftover spicy green beans in a garlic chili sauce from P.F. Chang, reeking, feeling like your stomach might be about to explode, when your husband (buying [...]

It’s that time of year– time to nominate a Whine Person of the Year. We’ve gone naughty, snarky, giving the award in the spirit of thumbing our noses at bad behavior. The Kardashians were last year’s Whiners of the Year. Tom Cruise was our choice in the year of his couch-jumping. We’ve gone nice, honoring [...]

It’s Christmas time. There’s no need to be afraid. At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade. And we decorate trees and listen to carols and start to question those lyrics, particularly Do They Know It’s Christmas? the Band Aid 80s classic. Yes, in the 80s, I loved the song, and the video, [...]
