We Did This to Britney
To watch the New York Times' new documentary "Framing Britney Spears" on Hulu is a flashback to the 1990s. Before Covid and the impeachment trial monopolized our rapid-fire newsfeeds, when the music industry was on fire, and tabloids ruled the day. Britney was a hitmaker. Young, talented and beautiful, she was on top of the world until she became the punchline of every late-night talk show host. Before we talked about things like mental health or slut-shaming, we couldn't get

Everything You Need to Know About The Thrill of Victory
Tom Brady snagged another Super Bowl win at 43, making him the oldest and winningest NFL player of all time. Although Kansas City's 25-year-old quarterback, Patrick Mahomes was favored to win, he didn't score a single point against Tampa Bay's fierce defense. And as a competitive equestrian for most of my life, I get it. There's nothing like the feeling of entering the ring with a strong game plan and laser focus. Yet, in a galloping sport where the difference between failure
Making History
I love words. I'm sure all PR people do. They are the tools we use as storytellers. Outside of work, one of my favorite pastimes is word games, and particularly, the New York Times Crossword. I've often imagined what it's like to come up with the overall theme, all the clues and the connecting words. And then yesterday, a classmate of my step-daughter's became the youngest woman ever to have a crossword puzzle published in the New York Times. It took 17-year-old Soleil Saint-
The Most Important Fashion News You'll Read THIS Week
Yep - we're going for it. The Bernie meme. Can you blame us? We thought 2021 would give us a reprieve from the mayhem of 2020, but within minutes of calling the Georgia Senate election the Capitol was under siege, and that was just the first week of January. Then the conversation shifted to not if but when we would again impeach our president for an unprecedented second time. All the while he was trying in vain to overturn the results of November's election that ousted him fr

How We're Making History Right Now
Kicking off the week by honoring the late Martin Luther King Jr. seems a fitting set-up to what is to be a historic inauguration. After months of attack ads and dirty politics that culminated in the Capitol riots, we're taking a collective breath and setting our sites on the good news: Little girls with black and brown skin can look to the White House and see that anything is possible. Blended families can see they're in good company. And husbands who put their wives' careers
Why The New Year Officially Starts NOW
Yesterday marked "National Clean Off Your Desk Day." We imagine some office supply company came up with the "holiday" to sell us more post-it notes or pens. It's interesting to consider what a desk even looks like in the time of Covid. Maybe it's your kitchen counter or corner of your bedroom where you're struggling to find the only clean and quiet spot to perch for your daily Zoom calls. When we turned the page on 2020, we had high hopes the new year would bring positive cha
