  • So… Pacific Islanders account for 0.1% of New York City’s population. REPRESENT, BITCHES! What’s it like to be a minority of all minorities? It can be fun – who wouldn’t like to constantly be referred to as “exotic”? But I feel like when I walk down Park Avenue, some people are confused as to why…

  • Carrie Bradshaw and I are both New York City-based writers (I did actually write for a sex/dating/relationships blog before) living in the Upper East Side, we’re both single (pre-Sex and the City movies), we both have naturally curly hair, and we both love fashion.
