  • Working Mark Cuban’s G5 jet

    NOTE: Yes, that’s me!  But this photo was taken a bzillion years ago.  No comments on the hair.  The best part about the corporate gig (it didn’t last long) was this.  I wore whatever I wanted (business attire), met a couple of Mavericks (Finley, Dirk, Nash) and spent an entire week in DC.  The…

  • Flight attendant shoes: Moda Spana Nella pump

    Say hello to my new flight attendant shoes!  They’re made by Moda Spana.  Most of you know I’ve been looking for the perfect inflight/terminal shoe for years now.  Well I’ve finally given up the search.  They don’t exist.  Either they’re too frumpy to wear through the airport or a little too high for working a four-leg turn at…

  • Life on the ground: Confessions of a gynecologist

    It’s not every day your gynecologist confesses something you really wish he had not confessed.  The funny thing is the confession itself didn’t make me uncomfortable.  Nor did the position I happened to be in when the confession took place bother me.  What bothers me is the strange effect it’s had on me since.     It’s important to point out that my doctor…

  • Captain A-rod and the cat lady from hell!

    I should have known it was going to be a weird flight when the captain introduced himself as A-rod. Short, round and graying, he stood in the galley massaging the shoulders of a tense looking flight attendant. When the agent walked on board with paperwork, the flight attendant quickly slid…

  • Adorable satin eye mask (seen worn by New York City Housewife Bethenny Frankel)

    Who’s your favorite New York City housewife?  Without a doubt mine is Bethenny Frankel.  She’s hilarious!  And  her whipsmart one liners; priceless.  So imagine my surprise when last year on a flight from New York to LA the woman with the long black shiny hair curled up in a coach seat wearing an adorable satin eye…

  • How I became a travel writer

    THE BEACH REPORTER: Beach Books – Redondo Beach Author Delights in Life of Travel, by Annie Lubinsky…. Heather Poole’s life as a flight attendant has led her to many places, and one of them was a nude beach in the Netherlands. “I met a guy on the airplane who invited me to…

  • 10 deep dark dirty hotel secrets

    How dirty is your hotel room? Very. Surely you’ve seen those undercover news reports where investigators use a black light to show us things we never wanted to see like body fluids all over the walls and bedding. And what about the video clips of house cleaners unknowingly being filmed…
