New Episode: Is popularity all it’s cracked up to be? An interview with bestselling author, Jennifer Solow

What’s the one thing every kid wants? To be liked! What do we want as adults? The same thing! Those feelings never really go away (they don’t!!), and even if you’re cool with being a loner, it’s still nice to have friends.

Bestselling author Jennifer Solow has just published her newest book The Aristobrats–and we thought we should find out from her why climbing the “populadder” is so important!

The characters in her book are in junior high school, but who among you hasn’t had the feeling that you’re still IN junior high? What better petrie dish for popularity could there be?

Called the “anti-Clique” book, Jennifer told us she wanted to write a book where the popular characters weren’t total bitches, and that her daughter could read without being completely corrupted. We thought that was nice. Plus she has a cool glossary with words like “carbo footprint” in it. NO, that’s not a typo. We love them carbs. Take a listen to our interview and find out how Jennifer likes her English Muffins while you’re at it.

Copies of the book are available at Amazon, Barnes&Noble, or your local independent bookseller (Lauren got copies for every 11, 12 and 13 year old girl she knows!)

Want to know more? Jennifer Solow is the acclaimed author of The Booster, and well known for the infamous “Wendy” Snapple campaign. As a professional advertiser, she knows a thing or too about cool, having worked with Spike Jonze, Spike Lee, and Richard Avedon, among others. The Aristobrats is her first middle grade novel.

LYLAS Jennifer!

New Episode: Long Distance Friend

CLICK TO LISTEN TO EPISODE

Dear Lady Brain,

I have a friend that I am having real difficulty with and do not like how I behave in this woman’s presence. I become intolerant after about a day and sometimes right away because she is a talker and asks questions that I think are none of her business. She lives 400 miles away and so when we see each other, it’s for extended periods of time and there’s no getting away from her for a break.  Somehow I lose my identity when I am with her.  She wants whatever I have, or she tells me she’s been there and done it, or now needs to do it because I have done it.  We are great phone friends because I can end the conversation when it gets to be too much.  I don’t really want to throw in the towel but feel I need to do something.  Can you offer me any advice other than just don’t physically visit with her for long periods of time?

Should she stay or should she go now? Want our opinion? Listen in to the show!

New Episode: I quit drinking–do I need to quit my friends too?

Posted on December 2, 2009 by | Leave a comment

Dear Lady Brain, I recently quit drinking after a long run as the quintessential “Party Girl.”  I have a group of really good friends with whom I used to drink, and I still like to hang out with them. The problem is there is too much history, too many triggers.  Do you have any suggestions how to get through this?  Will this pass?

Listen in to hear our sobering advice. Also, we provide the answer to the burning question of whether it’s ok to have a glass of wine around your non-drinking friends!

CLICK TO PLAY EPISODE: How to respond (helpful hints for hubby too!)

Dear Lady Brain,

What do you say to someone who asks if you’re pregnant and you’re not? Completely ruined my day! Then to add insult to injury, I told my husband about it and he just shrugged his shoulders. Now I want to tear both their heads off.

Hear the ladies’ advice!

New Episode: Pardon me, but your dildo is showing

Dear Lady Brain, We just moved houses so a friend came over for a playdate and visit to see the new place. I walked her around all the rooms, including all the bathrooms. After she left I went upstairs and realized my husband had left out our “private dancer” pink-swirly dildo (a la Good Vibrations) in the shower after cleaning it. It was in PLAIN view and now I am certain she saw it. The question remains whether to bring it up or stay “the giant pink dildo couple” ?

There are two possible answers to this dildo dilemma. Totally ignore it and hope that it goes away without causing unnecessary awkwardness. OR bring it up and take the stigma away. Lauren, as a current non-dildo owner suggests scoping out your friends’ house to see how dildo-friendly they are. If one is found, bring up your own swirly dancer and simply say “oops, did you see mine when you came over? Hubby was being responsible and left it out to dry properly.” If anything, she’ll be jealous that he’s so conscientious! If they appear not to accessorize like you do, then just keep mum and don’t make a big deal out of it. If they judge, it’s their close-minded loss.

On the other hand, Steph (more familiar with adult toys) thinks you should immediately take the issue in hand–invite her over, bring out the dancer and just clear the air. But don’t point that thing at her too closely, it might scare your friend away. It’s not called a PRIVATE dancer for nothing.

But good on ya for cleaning it!

Justin and I are getting ready to go to a birthday party–do we need to bring a gift, or in these tough times, is it ok to just re-gift a book I read and loved? –Lauren
