As we get older, we often reminisce about the great loves of our earlier lives. I was blessed to have many passionate affairs in my 20’s and have kept in touch with all of my exes. But what happened this past week was a shocking wake-up call and a warning that things are often not what they seem. As a precautionary tale for older women and as a primer for older men, here are 7 things no man should do if he expects to win back a long-misplaced love.
Dozens of studies show that a vegan diet is better for your health. While I still eat fish occasionally, I am vegan 98% of the time. However staying vegan has required tons of experimentation to find the best vegan alternatives to my favorite films. Fortunately, nowadays there is a plant-based version of every type of food. Here are my faves for Fall 2024!
Jill Zarin’s annual luxury luncheon is always one of the best events of the year. I haven’t been for a couple years, so was so thrilled to be invited this year. This year was presented by Mend Skincare and Laifen with event production by Sean Koski and Brian Kelly of Tickets2Events with proceeds going to the Bobby Zarin Memorial Trust. Read on for the tea on our marvelous day out.
The Nepo baby syndrome is in full effect for the Hollywood critics covering “Blink Twice.” Everyone is just trying to be nice because Zoe Kravitz is Lenny Kravitz’s kid. Her debut film, while shot well, was so awful and bad that I almost walked out and got my money back. Read on for my full review.

Been very disappointed this month with movies I thought I was going to love and really looked forward to. First, “Blink Twice”, now “The Front Room”, which was a waste of a lot of great talent on both the directing and acting sides.
In 1852, Frederick Douglass delivered one of his most riveting speeches “What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?” In this Op-Ed, TGATP discusses he state of the union amidst the growing political and ideological divisions in the US in 2024.
Since I am mostly vegan and am a teetotaler, I am reviewing the best vegan foods and snacks plus alcohol-free bevies for July 4th. Hope this helps others with the same lifestyle choices.
The Summer Fancy Food show is one of my favorite trade shows as it offers thousands of food brands and an opportunity to discover new brands to cover and feature in my pages.

I’m going to say it, the “Barbie” movie was fun. However, just because it made a ton of money does NOT make it a great or Oscar-worthy film. Neither Greta Gerwig, Ryan Gosling, or Margo Robbie achieved that excellence in “Barbie”. The feminist outrage that Greta and Margo were not nominated for work that wasn’t their best —even if if did make lots of money —is greatly misplaced and does not serve us well. Read on for my views on diversity in Hollywood and also my picks for the Oscars this year.
I usually republish the iconic “I Had A Dream Speech” on Martin Luther King Day. However, with the United States’ current foolhardy involvement and the senseless deaths on both sides in the Israel conflict, his “Beyond Vietnam” speech seems more apropos this year.
Delivered at NYC’s Riverside church on April 4th, 1967, exactly one year before he was murdered, Dr. King touches on the issues of America’s constant involvement in foreign wars and the need for all good people of conscience to speak up against them. He speaks of the globalist oppression that leads to these conflicts that can be linked to the ongoing oppression of people here in the United States. It is scary how little progress we have made in our consciousness since Dr King made this speech and that we are still raging these senseless wars. Substitute just a few words and this same speech could be made today.
I wasn’t a major fan of Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie”. For me, it was overhyped and dealt too much with the patriarchal issues that all women face without even a nod at the added racial issues that we, as woman of color, endure. For me, it was typical white feminism that never addresses women of color. However, the ONE highlight was the monologue that America Ferrera delivered, which DID touch me and was the best part of the movie. So, in honor of America’s Critics Choice win, here is the full text:
