2011: Best of the Bay

Posted by Catherine on Aug 1, 2011 in Quest for Legitimacy

In 2009, I won Best Female Contributor in Creative Loafing’s Best of the Bay awards. Last year, I won Best Blogger, Best Contributor, and was an honorable mention for Best Troublemaker. This town is so good to me. Best Contributor is a huge honor because Creative Loafing is filled with contributors who rock my socks [...]

Multiple winner in Creative Loafing’s Best of the Bay Readers Poll

Posted by Catherine on Sep 16, 2010 in Quest for Legitimacy, Social Networking

I couldn’t attend The Loafies Wednesday night, because I’m stuck in New Jersey, drowning in a sea of “apples to apples,” “soup to nuts,” and “not for nothin’.” No disrespect.

Since you asked… how someone like me could like Eat, Pray, Love

Posted by Catherine on Aug 2, 2010 in Impending nervous breakdown

Oprah got involved and I knew for sure I wasn’t going to like the book. She liked Twilight, for crying out loud. Then Julia Roberts [...]

According to the Wall Street Journal, most people promise to quit something in the New Year. Smoking, drinking, and overeating are the biggies. Over 80% of the population vows to quit one of these evils, yet only 1 out of 5 will actually keep the resolution past a few weeks. When you quit on quitting [...]

I can’t believe I beat the girl who writes about anonymous sex

Posted by Catherine on Sep 17, 2009 in General Nonsense, Tampa Bay Issues

I won Best Female Contributor for Creative Loafing. Thanks to my readers for their support and haters for their motivation. A special shout-out to my lovely balcony and orchestra – let’s face it, without tits and ass, I’d have no conservative audience. Every little bit helps. My kids were reading the list in Creative Loafing’s [...]
