Caring for Your Aging Hair

Apparently hair health declines with age, a fact I was unaware of until I recently looked in the mirror. So I spoke to experts, and wrote about the products and ingredients that can help your hair look healthy and youthful, or as youthful as a strand of hair is going to get. From Well + Good.

Paul Rudnick. PAUL RUDNICK!!!

Playing the Palace

I interviewed the great Paul Rudnick about his new novel, Playing the Palace, and now I’ve peaked. From the Jewish Chronicle.

Here is a brief excerpt from this extremely funny novel, about the romance between the gorgeous, gracious, and openly gay Prince Edgar, and Carter, a Jewish party planner from NJ:

“… It’s like, if you were a cologne, which would sell trillions of units, it could be called Slightly Rumpled Royalty. it’s like a movie star with just the right amount of bedhead. Do it.”

Includes atypical heroes, Jewish leads, and baked goods. From Lilith.
