    The 2012 election will be the first election where I have been a fully formed adult - relatively speaking - during the incumbents' presidency thus giving me the ability to really think of what we have now versus what we could be in the future. In 2004 during Bush v. Kerry, it was Kerry who employed me and kept me clothed in Banana Republic for six months so when it came time to cast my (absentee) ballot I chose Kerry even though I felt no real connection to him or his policies. Do I regret that now? No.  Read more >

    I've struggled on where to start but the beginning is always best. That would be three years ago when my aunt - my mother's sister - died after a years long fight against breast cancer. Whether or not it was metastatic are details of which I remain unaware but I do know that she was only 41 and that 41 is an incredibly young age for someone to die. I don’t know whether or not she was accepting of what might happen or how my mother really dealt with her death given that my grandmother - my mother’s mother - died exactly five weeks prior.  Read more >

    Woman running for office

    Apparently 2010 was the year of the woman. I didn’t feel that jolt I thought I’d feel upon this triumphant event. I’m not looking for an estrogen fest on Capitol Hill and let it be known that when it comes to getting women up on high, my concern isn’t which side of the aisle does this woman fall on; my concern is if she smart. Does she want smart woman to succeed? Does she want to lift up other women to follow in her footsteps?  Read more >

    Are you caught up in the frenzy of worry about what to wear to BlogHer '10? Well worry no more -- I'm here to tell you what I'll be wearing. I'm serving as a guide of sorts as to what you might like to throw in your suitcase for a summertime trip to New York City. In August. Where you'll spend half of your time outdoors, melting. And the other half of your time, indoors wondering if a blizzard is on its way.  Read more >

    About a month ago during a quick vacation in Denver, I returned to my hotel with my sunglasses atop my head and when I took them down there they were: three gray hairs.  Read more >

    It's spring and a little over a month until summer. I'm suddenly happy and filled to the brim with Vitamin D. Over the past several weeks I have shed my winter layers to the back of my closet and made lists of pieces I need and want to buy to boost up the oft black/gray/brown color palette of the colder months. The first thing I bought?  Read more >

    I've never been much for Fashion Week. Can I admit that? And it isn't because I don't like clothing or have never flipped longingly through the pages of an "InStyle" magazine. I've watched "Project Runway" marathons both for the reality television trainwreck and also because of the artistry of the designers. But no, I've never gotten into Fashion Week.   Read more >

    I think I've reached almost every woman's version of Nirvana. I, Heather Barmore, have found the perfect combination of hair products to make me, Heather Barmore -- she who is notoriously unhappy with everything -- fairly happy with my hair. Though first I feel like I should go back to 1994 when I had grand delusions of having long flowing blonde locks. Every time I got a relaxer and a haircut I'd end up with a case of whiplash from shaking my tresses around like I was in some Pantene commercial. Fortunately, I have since recovered from that particular phase.   Read more >

About Me: 
A neurotic 20-something with very little free time on my hands. And yet I still manage to find time to complain and do a little 'creative whining' on the Internet. I shop excessively, drink a lot of wine, always wear pearls and can tie a cherry stem with my tongue. I pride myself on being multi-talented.
