About MAL’s Blog
The Lady Who Lunches started as a simple concept - Me, the American lady, traveled to England to live with my boyfriend, the Englishman and became a lady of leisure - i.e. "a lady who lunches." Since this lady can't sit still for more than 10 minutes at a time, I wrote a novel. A year and a half passed and we're now back in the United States. Next adventure - traveling for two months around the states, selling novel, finding apartment, job and moving to Chicago.I Also Write Here

Catherine Deneuve – AND Magazine
Catherine Deneuve is a force to withhold. Her beauty is something she has played with carefully and, especially in her early years, took advantage of to comment on the social implications of having such a stark beauty. This interests me … Continue reading
Janet Jackson – AND Mag
After the American Idol finale a month or so again, I became obsessed with the idea that the US only allowed Janet back on its air waves since the Super Bowl “wardrobe malfunction” now because her brother died. I had … Continue reading
