It was a lovely winter evening in Southern California and a group of us girls were out at one of the trendiest spots in Santa Monica. The beautiful people were out in full force. We stumbled into the game room (pool, checkers, backgammon) and challenged each other to a checkers match.
We had a few cocktails by this point, so failed to notice the abandoned wallet just next to the table until one of our friends asked us if it was ours. It wasn’t. We are not a shy bunch, so we dove right in…
-Tattered Louis Vuitton wallet
-Great license pic, 6’3, blue eyed man, donor! Swoon. (who looks better in their pic than in person, right? wrong, we learned!)
-Potentially winning lotto tickets, check. (The guy has dreams!)
-$6 cash money
-Back of a receipt – perfect!
We were feeling bold and giddy, so we decided to leave our phone numbers (no names, just numbers and a few emoticons) before turning the wallet into the bar.
The next morning rolls around and we get a group text from “wallet guy” thanking us for being such “honest people” and asking us to a drink to repay us. Score!
We decided on a low-key beer garden for the following Friday at 9… Continue reading
Once again “The Daily Show” has hit the nail on the head regarding political ridiculousness and general absurdity. Correspondent Samantha Bee reported this week on the announcement that women will finally be allowed to serve in combat zones in the US Military. In typical “Daily Show” snarkiness she questioned why this was ever an issue in the first place, interviewing people on both sides of the argument. The following is her fabulously hysterical report entitled, “Women’s War Daily: Military Brohesion”. Enjoy.
This Brit is cute, cute cute. And his song “Troublemaker” is pop perfection.
Song of the Day, “Troublemaker” by Olly Murs featuring Flo Rida.
Turn it up!~

According to Urban Dictionary, a catfish is someone “who pretends to be someone they’re not using Facebook or other social media to create false identities, particularly to pursue deceptive online romances.”
To understand the full meaning of the term, I recommend watching the (incredible) documentary “Catfish” by filmmaker Nev Schulman. His documentary serves as the inspiration for MTV’s “Catfish: The TV Show” which also stars Schulman.
“Catfish: The TV Show” had been mentioned to me by some female friends in grad school and I was immediately interested. As soon as I had the chance, I sat down and powered through two episodes. Despite knowing the premise and having been an early fan of the documentary, I too was bowled over by the show. It’s even more poignant and timely than I anticipated.
Have I been catfished? No, not to the extent that the characters on the show have been by any stretch of the imagination. Have I been courted by people who I later found out misrepresented themselves on social media? Absolutely.
Isn’t part of modern-day dating sleuthing to find out whether the persona projected by the person you’re crushing on is true? Feels like it sometimes.

If you feel that you have been deceived by a catfish and would like to be considered for the show, check out this casting call and send in your info. The team is currently casting for season two now.
And above all else, WATCH OUT FOR CATFISH!!
