5 things I will never, EVER do

April 19, 2019 By Carol Cassara 11 Comments

never-do

Sky diving. Under no circumstances will I EVER willingly jump out of an airplane wearing a parachute. Except under extreme emergency circumstances. My husband did it when he was in college, drunk and under peer pressure, but i'm here to tell you there is not enough drink in the world --or peer . . .

How money is the root of bad business advice

March 15, 2019 By Carol Cassara Leave a Comment

money-trouble

 I've seen scores of workshops run by consultants who want to tell other consultants the best path to success.  And it's all the same message: "You need to double or even TRIPLE your rate to clients!" they all exhort. Before they even KNOW the rate being charged. Seriously? It hasn't escaped my . . .

Hollywood: why we insist on the dreamy myth

March 4, 2019 By Carol Cassara 3 Comments

Hollywood-dreams

People say Hollywood is the city of dreams, but nothing could be further from the truth. Old Hollywood or new, Hollywood is a dark place, more a city of dashed dreams than anything else. The truth about Hollywood dreams is hiding behind the Hollywood sign. It's out there, just not talked about . . .

What you should know about the mayhem on Murder Mountain

February 4, 2019 By Carol Cassara 4 Comments

Far Northern California is one of the most beautiful places in the country. Mountains, trees, rivers, ocean, fog--it's all there. And far enough from urban areas to allow people to live off the grid if they want. And they want. I've lived in northern California a long time but have only visited . . .

Is Mrs. Maisel really so marvelous?

January 25, 2019 By Carol Cassara 16 Comments

Maisel

After hearing so much buzz about The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, we logged into Amazon Prime and proceeded to binge on both seasons. Visually, it's a feast of color and style. The 1950s fashions are the best part for me, even though the performances are top-notch and the writing is clever and very . . .

Why I’m irritated with Facebook and you should be, too

January 21, 2019 By Carol Cassara 12 Comments

It's almost impossible to think of a day when Facebook won't be part of our lives. And  yet, like everything else, it probably has a life span and eventually will reach an end, a day when it's no longer current, or interesting or useful. Or it's too abusive. And something else will take its place. . . .

We wouldn’t see it until we couldn’t miss it

Transparent

So many "Me Too" stories are out there but one of the most interesting to me and one of the most telling involves the actor, Jeffery Tambor, a very good actor and the star of Amazon's show Transparent. Of which I am a fan. Tambor is alleged to have sexually harassed actors on the set and even . . .

Polyamory: Can you really be married and date?

September 17, 2018 By Carol Cassara 19 Comments

polyamory

The concept of polyamory as depicted on Showtime is a wonder to behold. What is polyamory? It's being in love or romantically involved with more than one person, with the agreement of all parties. Conceptually, it's about more than sex. It's about love. And Showtime got in on the game with a . . .

Secret drugstore bargains I can’t live without in summer or any time

July 31, 2018 By Carol Cassara 26 Comments

drugstore-bargains

NOT A SPONSORED POST! Drugstore bargains get a bad name. I don't see any reason to spend a zillion dollars on branded body or face washes or even sunscreen. So here are several of my favorite drugstore bargains.  Oh and one more product I really can't live without that isn't a drugstore item. But . . .

Oversharing

November 10, 2017 By Carol Cassara 30 Comments

oversharing

Nothing has aggravated my writerly sensibilities as much as a recent review in the Atlantic that bashed writer Joyce Maynard for being the "Queen of Oversharing." Except maybe those critics who bashed her for writing about JD Salinger, a man who had a totally inappropriate relationship with her when . . .
