FLAVOR OF THE WEEK: THE DATE FROM HELL, NEW JERSEY

For KATELYN NUDO, every picture tells a story. Unfortunately, most of them aren't true. By Katelyn Nudo I swore I would never join one of those online dating services. When I did, it was on my mother’s suggestion. I guess she could see from my list of drug dealers, egotistical Italians and Spanish lovers that I needed some help. I don’t know why I ever went against my initial thought of dot-com dating, because when I met Kevin, I knew I was in trouble. When eharmony.com produced a total of zero matches for my personality, I tried Plentyoffish.com. It was free, and it was on the computer monitor in my college library when I sat down. A sign perhaps. I signed up with a false email address and browsed promising boyfriends, one-night stands and future husbands. I must admit, I was surprised at how many good-looking men were desperate in the tri-state area.

I've kept my responses simple for all the other bloggers here. " .

Girl-group get-togethers to plan for 2008

Many women have a love-hate relationship with Sex and the City. It was a great show but it spawned so many horrible things: New York bus tours that stopped at, among other show-specific sites, the store where Charlotte bought her "Rabbit Pearl" vibrator; sassy single-girl dating columnists; and online quizzes to determine which character you are. So when the Sex and the City movie was announced, we wearily resigned ourselves to the onslaught of more articles on what the fab four were wearing; if the on-set photos of Carrie in a wedding dress were a real part of the plot or just a dream sequence; and on the cultural impact of the series we just can't seem to get away from. We'd love to say enough already, but who's kidding who? Come May 30, we'll be in line for the movie with everyone else.
