I live in New York. I am a stand up comic, writer and actor. You may have seen my writing on many reputable websites (The Huffington Post, Hello Giggles, xojane.com, The Hairpin, Splitsider, The FW, etc.). I also write crazy blogs about Game of Thrones, Magneto and Jeff Goldblum. I was formerly member of the PITtv House Team, Codswallop.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
On Watching HBO Shows With My Mom | xojane.com
This provides background for anyone who’s ever wondered why my mom watches Game of Thrones and why I discuss it with her and why I’m totally cool with it.
I've Got Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder: Here's How I Dealt With It | xojane.com
This is the article that I hope proves that I didn’t grow up into the discreet lady that my mother wanted me to be, but I am the ballsy bitch that she needed me to be.
Also, I’m sort of scared that I even wrote this and put it on the internet, but who knows? Maybe it’ll help someone. Even if that someone is a friend who just wants to better understand why I flake out from social events or feel the need to apologize for sudden mood swings.
PEANUT CLUSTERS OR “HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN CANDY IN 15 MINUTES OR LESS”
Oh look, I didn’t know what to write, so I wrote a recipe.
Enjoy!
I wrote about the new Costume Institute exhibit at the Met for Huffington Post.
I’m really proud of this piece because I think it’s fun and clever, but I fear no one will understand it. However, what I learned from the exhibit was that if you think something is fun and clever, but fear no one will understand it, put it on someone’s head and send it down a Paris runway and then after you’re dead it will be on display at the Met.

I'm Afraid I'm a Manic Pixie Dream Girl | xojane.com
I wrote this for xojane.com. I’ve been mentally and emotionally dealing with this for a while. Basically, I realized last year that, like everyone, I’m a cliche*. My cliche happens to be that “manic pixie quirky adorkable grown up nerd girl who gets awkward around dudes.”
Sometimes we stare into the void and someone who owns an ocarina in her twenties stares back.
*We all fit some kind of personality trope, even if we’re weirdos. Then we fit the weirdo trope.
Why do anything when you can just talk about it? And if you have to do anything, it better be so you can talk about it. When Hannah takes a bath with Marnie in the room it’s so she can discuss the fact that she’s taking a bath with Marnie in the room with Marnie. Everything in our lives is now just commentary. Relationships exist to update Facebook statuses
If you comment on it, Lena Dunham wins.
A few years ago, I was called for jury duty, but I didn’t try to wiggle out of it. I was young and naive and I was working a boring job at a boring company that offered full paid time off for jury duty.
So, when it was announced in the court room that the trial I was up for was an actual MURDER TRIAL, I was all, “Oh, please God, yes! Sign me up and strap me in! I want to go on a 3D ride through our nation’s justice system! And I want paid time off away from my cubicle!”
It Happened To Me: I Was on the Jury for a Murder Trial | xojane.com
I wrote this because it happened to me. Also, I’m proud of this.
(Yes, this is my first time writing for xojane.com. So I’m excited.)
Now, it’s very easy for me to stand on a metaphoric soap box and say that, unlike Samantha Brick, I believe my value comes from my intelligence, kindness, wit and moral courage. In real life, however, I don’t start my day by reading Erasmus and doing charity work. I start my day by curling my hair and putting make-up on my face so that I look pretty.
My latest column for MsBehaved.com is about Beauty. Or clown lips.
This is no April Fools Joke.
Hint: I would use RAZZLE DAZZLE.
(1 of 2 in a series of Hunger Games-related humor I have debuting today. Then, I’m spent.)
