adventures of mascarah.
I have always wanted to be "a writer" but I'm lost somewhere in the prologue...whittling away at a story I may never tell.

A southerner by birth, northerner by the grace of God, I'm simply a nyc gal who is lost somewhere on my constant exploration of the city and the life,love, and pursuit found within it.

A once beloved film genre about two strangers who overcome a seemingly insurmountable obstacle and end up as a happy couple, romantic comedy died in a conference room on the Warner Brothers studio lot Friday, as screenwriter Joe Bernstein was pitching a Kate Hudson vehicle about the romance between a dairy farmer and a lactose-intolerant woman. The cause was exhaustion. Observers close to the genre feared romantic comedy would die upon the release of the 2005 Reese Witherspoon/Mark Ruffalo movie Just Like Heaven, about the unlikely courtship between a ghost and a landscape architect, but it persisted in a vegetative state for three more years.

One of my favorite features in the magazine. Oh how right he is. Disney movies and romantic comedies, they just don’t make ‘em like they used to.
