Game Of Love

It’s been Drama and the City ever since Carrie Bradshaw and her Louboutin heels hit the streets of the upper East Side to begin filming “Sex and the City 2″ on Tuesday.

Hordes of fans began bombarding the set as early as 7 a.m. on the first day of shooting, and it seems that the return of the fashionable foursome – and their hunky male co-stars – has caused a little too much excitement. Film security has had to tighten its game when dealing with the crazed Carrie, Charlotte, Samantha and Miranda wanna-bes.

“They looked more like they were protecting the President than Sarah Jessica Parker,” said an onlooker at 84th St. and Park Ave., where the leggy leading lady was repeatedly being filmed hailing a cab. “At one point, teenage girls were practically trampling each other trying to get to Sarah Jessica as she was walking back to her trailer, but her security team was shoving everyone out of the way.” read more…

This great book was written by Paulo Coelho, a Brazilian lyricist and novelist. It follows Santiago, a young Spanish shepherd, on a journey to fulfill his Personal Legend.

An excerpt from “The Alchemist” written by Paulo Coelho.

They crossed the desert for another two days in silence. the alchemist had become much more cautious, because they were approaching the area where the most violent battles were being waged. As they moved along, the boy tried to listen to his heart.

It was not easy to do; in earlier times, his heart had always been ready to tell its story, but lately that wasn’t true. There had been times when his heart spent hours telling of his sadness, and at other times it became so emotional over the desert sunrise that the boy had to hide his tears. His heart beat faster when it spoke to the boy of treasure and more slowly when the boy stared entranced at the endless horizons of the desert. But his heart was never quiet, even when the boy and the alchemist had fallen into silence.

“Why do we have to listen to our hearts?” the boy asked, when they had made camp that day.

“Because, wherever your heart is, that is where you’ll find your treasure.” read more…

Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.

First discovered and brought to my attention by Jcoe in the GoL Lounge, I had to take a second look, and googled the latest news. Ankles – the latest body obsession - are all over the news. Below is an article I found on abcNEWS that describes the whole ankle fuzz more detailed: read more…

Okay so we’ve all had a time in our lives when we felt like we needed to lay on somebody’s couch and talk. Talk about all the things that have gone wrong in our lives. Talk about our jacked-up relationships and ask that question, “What’s wrong with me?” Well, Dr. Michelle Callahan will tell you, “there’s nothing wrong with you that can’t be fixed.” LiveSteez had a chance to talk with Dr. Michelle about her book, “Are You Ms. Typed.” In her book she describes all the twisty-turny personality quirks that women often encounter while trying to find “the one.” But be warned, she keeps it real and will let you know, “you need to take some time to yourself and figure this thing out.” While it hurts to hear the truth, that’s all you’re going to get from Dr. Michelle, so brace yourself, and get ready to get down to the nit and grit of who you are, not who circumstances have made you! read more…

1. If your friend’s boyfriend hasn’t been your friend before their relationship began, there is no need to make him your best friend now. Try choosing your next best friend from your existing pool of friends. Don’t go fishing in other people’s pools.

2. As a best friend you are a source of trust, and receive plenty of undisclosed information. Don’t misuse this information to impress her boyfriend. If you can do it better than she does, help her with an advice instead of trying to prove your point of greatness to him.

3. Don’t flirt, send mixed signals or incorporate subliminal messages into your interaction with your friend’s boyfriend or man. It can, and most likely, will be misinterpreted. read more…
