Weeks ago, Mr. S. (not Mr. Jaunty, mind you) and I spent an evening at The Kitchen Workshop. Totally groovy place, and worth the trip just for their killer baklava recipe. That was the night I mistook wine for iced tea, then came home and plucked my eyebrows with my bare hands. Ah, the memories. [...] 
WARNING: VACATION PHOTOS AHEAD. Most photos were taken by Mr. Jaunty, some by our friend Chris, a few by me. As the Good Book says, “Thou shalt click to enlarge.” Last weekend, Mr. Jaunty and I voyaged to Estes (sounds like “Festus,” not “testes”) Park, Colorado for a dear friend’s wedding at the [...] 
My wavy/curly/ hair is the bane of my existence. It’s fine, fluffy, and unruly, a word which here means “frustrating as hell.” I’ve spent roughly two years growing out my last buzz cut and researching my options. I have spent hours reading Curly Girl and Live Curly, Live Free. I’ve pored over naturallycurly.com forums with [...] 
(Found this in the archives. It must have been written in 2007, because I know whose voice I was afraid of hearing. Wink wink.)
One night, months and months ago, I lay on my bed, staring at the ceiling while feeling particularly empty and lonely. If only, I caught myself [...] 
Today, I made Angry Chicken’s homemade deodorant. The recipe (and its nifty upgrade from cream to puck) have been on my to-do list since the dawn of time. Like Angry Chicken, I love that stick-it-to-the-man feeling I get from experimentation and stepping outside conventional habits. Besides, y’all know I love a little novelty in my [...] 
Someday, I will get rich and buy this book
A brave friend of mine agreed to speak candidly about her experiences as a non-shaving, non-plucking woman. Get comfy, ladies and gents, this is a good read: Hey, Annie! Care to introduce yourself? Hello fellow Jaunty Dame followers! I’m a friend of Ms. [...] 
Rats do quite a bit of self and social grooming— but it’s hard to wash a whole body with one’s tiny, tiny tongue. Every week or two, I clean off the bathroom counter before rounding up Grendel and Helen for an involuntary bath.
It’s a very cute ritual.

Perhaps you have been asking yourself “Huh, where’d Rebekah go?” Pull up a chair and I’ll tell you. Weekend before last, I voyaged to NYC. Not for any official business or pressing matters, merely to visit friends. This friendly visit entailed a trip to the New Museum (where I nearly trod on a Lynda Benglis [...] 
(What makes this a rerun? The fact that I posted it on Facebook years ago. Enjoy.)

Feeling Loved: A He-Man Story
When I was but a wee lass, my favorite toy was a He-Man action figure belonging to my big brother, [...] 
February is gone, and with it ends my month of Body Hair Laissez-Faire. On one hand, the project was a big disappointment; not one reader joined me in razor-hiding, and I’m still waiting for the results of both e-interviews. Plus, I ripped out two brow hairs with my bare hands, thereby violating my own terms. [...] |
