I never really thought I would end up here. When Little Kai was sitting watching romantic comedies and planning her own wedding, she did not account for divorce. I am sure nobody really does account for divorce. But the fact is that 41% of all first marriages will end; and while nobody wants to be a statistic, it is bound to happen for a few of us. Maybe we should start changing that fairytale narrative...
And so begins my quarantine journal. I am a married mother of 1 who is working from home full-time. We are prepared and completely unprepared for what the next weeks will bring. I know this is going to be hard, but I’m just not sure what to expect. Week 1 Day 1- 3/17/20 – 598 cases – 13 deaths (California) Yesterday was Monday, March 16th. The company I work for was abuzz with Coronavirus fears...
Well it looks as though shit is getting pretty real for us Americans. I suppose that means it’s getting real for the whole world. Businesses are closing to the public, schools are shutting down indefinitely and I have officially been moved to a remote position. For the first time in a long time I am going to be a stay-at-home mom, and I am nowhere ready for that undertaking. To be honest I am beyond...
Birds of Prey begins with a lively and snarky animated backstory told by Harley herself featuring some of Harley Quinn’s most famous moments and costumes. After the quick recap of what she’s been up too, Harley lets the audience know that she and the Joker broke up. For the first time in a long time, Harley Quinn is now out on her own and struggling with her new found identity. The comic relief continues to...
The Oscars Red Carpet is one of the most highly coveted and harshly critiqued fashion nights of the year. Some looks will be put in the vault and remembered for years to come, while others will unfortunately fall flat. I always hope to be surprised with what designer’s can create within the limitations of a classic gown and tuxedo. Within recent years, we are lucky enough to see Actors pushing the envelope, and using the...
Award season is my favorite time of the year. We start in early September with the Emmys, then work our way through dapper suits and sparkling dresses to the big show, The Oscars! Personally I have always been partial to the Golden Globes, loving the effervescence and comedy of that award show. At the Globes we get to see TV and Movie actors mingle together in their not so natural habitat. That being said there...
Iron Man and Captain America: Will They Survive the Endgame? By Kai Connolly I write this with a heavy heart, as I truly love both Iron Man and Captain America (okay my heart truly belongs to Cap, but that’s besides the point). As Endgame concludes the Avengers series, I believe it will be without one or both of these two characters. They have been collectively part of Marvel the longest, with Robert Downey...
So, you are going to have a baby? Maybe you have read all the baby books and you are ready to kick some parenting ass? Maybe you skimmed an article and you are just planning on winging it? Or maybe you have a whole litter of kids already, and you still have no clue what the hell you are doing? Not to worry, because I will let you in on one very important little secret....
