Music Has Charms to Soothe a Savage Breast

“Mommmmmmmm, the police are here again! The neighbor is complaining and wants you to stop the music!” Stop the music? That’s like asking Kris Carr to stop juicing! It’s blasphemy. Four years ago, six of us crazy sexy forty-something suburban housewives went out on a limb, bucked convention, defied stereotypes and started our own rock ’n’ roll band. There was only one glitch. Not one of us could play an instrument. But that didn’t stop… Read More >
Punk Rock Cured My Cancer Blues
October 21, 2010

When I was diagnosed with breast cancer in August 2008, it seemed like a pretty good joke. ‘Cuz I wanted to die. I was at the bitter end of a 2-year break-up, the kind that scrapes away at your self-esteem until you’re a shell, wishing only that your lover might finally pulverize you and (ideally) swallow you so you never have to part. Actually, I should give the dude some credit as he did find… Read More >
Love List: Vegan Vegas & Fiery Tunes
August 25, 2010
1. Betabrand Cornucopia Bag: Check out this redonkulously cool Farmers Market Backpack! The geniuses at Betabrand sent me one of these bio-fabulous bags and I must say – it’s damn useful. Back in my NYC food shopping days I would have killed a carrot for one of nifty veggie toters. This bag is better than Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. And speaking of chambers, inner pockets galore keep your treasured foodie delights separate and… Read More >
Love List: Flea Markets & Snapshots
July 28, 2010
Love Warrior, Last week I launched my Love List series. Well, amen, hipshake, cause sooo many people wrote their own and tweeted and FB’d it. There’s even a Love List group on myCSL (go join it hot pants). Love Lists heal. They are fun and funky and free. Love Lists remind you that life is deliciously sweet, like a big drippy emotional ice cream cone (sans the glycemic spike). Tune in every Wednesday for my… Read More >
Why Do We Dance?

Why do we dance? We dance because it’s the fastest, most direct route to the truth—not some big truth that belongs to everybody, but the get-down-and-personal kind; the what’s-happening-in-me-right-now kind of truth. This is not always easy for us to access—we have to navigate some very deep past, as well as the probable futures we drum up to feed the fear that drives us around the same circles, day in and day out. We dance… Read More >
New Year’s Resolutions: 10 for ’10
December 31, 2009
Holy Glitter – we made it through another decade! For me, it was the decade of diagnosis, rock bottom, a creative explosion, empowerment, marriage, the loss of cherished family members, the addition of Lola (the best rescue dog ever!), physical and emotional healing and a loving Crazy Sexy global community. So many lessons learned, so much gratitude felt. And yet I’m just getting started! That’s a fantastic and spooky feeling. Can you be a grown… Read More >
The Magic of PS22 Chorus
June 29, 2009
By Mallika Chopra
I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemies eyes Listen as the crowd would sing “Now the old king is dead! Long live the King!” Some of you may recognize the words above as the opening lyrics to Coldplay’s single “Viva la Vida.”… Read More >
