I was at the hair salon the other day, flipping through US Weekly, and I came to the Who Wears it Best? page.  The two actress both had on a dress that was bright orange on top and bright pink on the bottom.  Interesting, I thought.  And then I read that color-blocking is the hot [...]

Thrillseekers Anonymous

by Julia London

A few years ago, I wrote this trilogy and a novella about three guys who had a zest for living, and parlayed that into a business.  They ran Thrillseekers Anonymous, catering to the rich and powerful, and guaranteeing a thrillseeking experience unlike any they ever had.  Sadly, these books are out of print, but I [...]

When Did I Become That Woman?

by Julia London

You know the one I am talking about — the old broad who won’t take gruff from anyone. I realized yesterday, when I had to wait more than a couple of minutes at Starbucks, that I had become her.  An old broad like Madonna.  It was confirmed today when my brother stopped by, and instead [...]

by Julia London

In the years that the Whine Sisters blog has existed, I have come into the self-awareness that I am not very domestic.  I don’t cook, I don’t decorate, I don’t do crafts.  I do, however, clean up pretty well and can make everything look nice and neat, which probably suggests that in a previous life, [...]

I recently began watching The AMC drama, Mad Men, and I am hooked.  If you haven’t seen it, it’s a soap opera set in the heady, sexy, bourbony days of the early sixties before this country experienced a sea-change in culture.  There is lots to talk about in Mad Men, but one thing that always [...]

Welcome to Whiny Wednesday.

by Kathleen Givens
Christmas Presents

Wednesdays have a whole new agenda at the new Whine Sisters.  We’ve set this day aside to talk about weird things we’ve found in the news or in life, or to whine.  Sometimes both.  Sometimes about the same thing.  I’m going to start the Wednesday madness with a whine (now really, are you surprised?).    But along [...]

Thanksgiving: Oh, the Pressure

by Julia London

Prepare for a holiday whine. As I have mentioned everywhere lately, I am not a cook.  I don’t like it, I never will, and I will never learn.  So when the holidays roll around, I get as special knot in my stomach.  I have to come up with something that someone will eat. Just because [...]

Celebrate! We’re back! We missed you, and we have big news!
