Guess again. It's just another day in the life of your average Miss America contestant. Like millions of others, I watched Sunday's Miss America pageant--me, for the first time in several years. I'm not sure whether it was the [...]
By: Mary Fran Bontempo Atlantic City could use a little beauty boost. I'm a fan of the gambling mecca by the sea in New Jersey. Well, at least I'm a fan of parts of this town that has seen much better days.

by Chrysa Smith New York is always interesting to visit. You just never know what you're going to find there. And with one of the best seasons coming up to do the city, take a tip from someone who spent today wanting for more. Every year, I do an outing with a long-time friend. We head up to New York City and do facials at Mario Badescu. It's a wonderful European skincare salon [...]

As in, someone, somewhere, somehow, gained access to the site and inserted some code into the blog which was intended to do…I have no idea what, but I know it wasn’t good.
