Our Manhattan streets are a sorry mess. No longer the Camelot brought to us by Mayor Bloomberg. Bicycles make crossings a matter of peril. I was hit by a cyclist who like every cyclist I’ve ever seen doesn’t obey traffic lights. These scofflaws should be ticketed. I walk wide circles around trash cans overflowing onto…

Nudity in the Hamptons, Nudity in Euphoria, Nudity the Last Taboo?
A quiet revolution in human body display is taking place. The New York Times reported without comment a Hamptons party that included naked models. Euphoria, the television show, is giving the penis (heh heh) its moment. Hithertofor nudity was pretty much on the elevated plane of high art. What’s next?
A Tale of Two Mayors: Bill De Blasio and Michael Bloomberg
Manhattan streetscapes tell a peculiar story. Automobiles are shining clean, the air is neutral and clean. I catch myself breathing deeply in our streets. These amazing situations are due to Michael Bloomberg’s amazing legislation and caretaking. The sidewalks tell another story–a more recent story. Walking around trash cans is icky. Food containers, newspapers, and discarded…
Robert Kalich’s Review of Kick Kennedy’s Secret Diary
The following is an excerpt from novelist Robert Kalich‘s review of Kick Kennedy’s Secret Diary (on Amazon now): In my small opinion I think Susan Braudy wrote a masterpiece. Thoroughly enjoyed the effort for so many reasons…Delicious. Entertaining. Profound. Incredibly researched and stylistically perfect. How she did it I will never fathom. Susan Braudy transplanted…

Tsk, Tsk Ari, Rachel, and Lawrence at MSNBC
Three cheers to Bob Woodward for corroborating Michael Wolff’s brilliant expose of the mess in the Trump White House. I am really really glad Bob Woodward has written Fear. It backs up Michael Wolff’s bombshell observations and insider quotes in his book, Fire and Fury. But alas, my favorite newspeople at MSNBC have jumped to…
Kick Kennedy’s Secret Diary
Let me tell you a little about my new labor of love. I’m excited to write that my upcoming historical fiction romance novel is called Kick Kennedy’s Secret Diary. All I can say (without bragging too much) is I really really enjoy this book. Reading it still makes me cry with Kick over her great…
What Doctors Don’t Tell You
The best health magazine in the world is called What Doctors Don’t Tell You. It gives us no-nonsense ways to keep healthy through gentle sensible strategies. You can buy it at Whole Foods and then subscribe. It’s published in England and I guess it’s naturopathic, but not far out. This month’s issue explains the Feldenkrais…
Crooked Donald Trump
Proving to Trump supporters that crooked Donnie is unfit for office is impossible. They knew they were voting for a criminal. Trump told them as much when he said he wouldn’t lose a vote if he shot someone on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. He knew they knew they were voting for a crook. The only…
EUREKA! NO MORE INSOMNIA!
Deductions from the current Hammacher Schlemmer catalogue and some serious scientific info have cured my sleeplessness and wake ups in the middle of the night–so far. It turns out that lying under weight like a folded heavy blanket triggers the body to AAA! sleep. I fall asleep faster and stay asleep and if I get…
