What Do You Believe In That You Can’t Prove?

by Carly Jacobs
A friend of mine went overseas last year and returned pondering this question. What do you believe in that you can’t prove? When he asked me what I thought, my reply was karma. I believe in karma. I believe in the inevitable and cyclical return of good when good is projected. However, I can’t prove this. I have some fairly substantial evidence and lots of personal experience in this area, but no hard Read the rest!

Who Do You Find Unusually Attractive?

by Carly Jacobs
I have a rather unusual and age inappropriate list of celebrity crushes that include such questionable additions as Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Alan Rickman and, inexplicably, John Goodman. Yes. John Goodman. In his slightly slimmer, clean shaven, showing off his dimples phase. Two others on my list are Adrien Brody and Willem Dafoe. Prada, you read my mind. As everyone read The Top Ten Most Preternaturally Beautifu Read the rest!

How the Internet Has Taken the Glamour Out of Behaving Badly.

by Carly Jacobs
I spent yesterday sweltering in 40 degree heat which led to the consumption of three consecutive Frosty Fruits and the majority of my day was spent horizontal under the air con. Idle hands usually lead to excessive internet usage in my case, and I found myself randomly researching Hollywood starlets of the early to mid 1900s, with particular interest in their drug/alcohol abuse and sexual escapades. Judy Garland s Read the rest!

What’s the worst Facebook status you’ve ever read?

by Carly Jacobs
I was reading this article yesterday on Mamamia and it got me thinking about irritating Facebook statuses. I’m very lucky in that most of my Facebook friends are actors, writers and artists or simply bat shit crazy, so it makes for a rather hilarious news feed scan every morning with my cuppa. I do however have a rather healthy obsession with LameBook, which has given me fodder for the 6 Irritating Facebook S Read the rest!

Have You Ever Had a Brazilian Wax?

by Carly Jacobs
This question was presented to myself and a group of girlfriends at a hen’s night over the weekend. A friend of mine, who has recently turned thirty, has a theory that Brazilian waxes are a generational phenomonen. She works with several 20-something women, who revealed that they have regular Brazilian waxes and that they book these appointments, like clockwork, along with their hair appointments, every six Read the rest!

Do You Sleep in The Nude?

by Carly Jacobs
I’m not asking this to be pervy. That was a lie. I’m always a little bit pervy but, I’m also genuinely curious. Do you like to sleep nude? I HATE to sleep in the nude. I hate it. I don’t hate being nude. Not at all. I’m all for post coital lounging in my birthday suit. I’d do it for hours. Preferably followed by more coitus. However, when it comes to the act of sleeping, I must Read the rest!

The Secrets of the PostSecret App Trailer

by Carly Jacobs
I’m currently packing (really, really badly) for my trip to New York but I had to take a quick break to share this trailer with you. The trailer was produced by Ben, my partner, for the app that he and his company made for PostSecret. I’m a bit proud. Here are a few things to watch out for. * The guy that takes the photo of the door is our friend Sam. You can see him here at my 1000th post party. * The Read the rest!

What makes a bad photo bad? For you?

by Carly Jacobs
  Yesterday, one of my friends asked my permission to post this photo to my Facebook wall. She loved it, but was worried that I wouldn’t. I told her it was fine and to go ahead. You know why? Because I don’t look fat. It doesn’t matter that my eyes are closed or my head’s at a funny angle or that I look like a zombie as one my friends sweetly pointed out. I don’t look fat and the Read the rest!

Do You Believe in Ghosts? My Spiritual Encounter with a Passed Friend.

by Carly Jacobs
I’ve recently started watching The X-Files, because I was too chicken shit to watch it when I was a kid. It’s every kind of awesome. I feel that I relate more to Scully than Mulder, but that’s because I’m exceedingly practical, almost to a fault. I love reading about ghostly encounters, and visiting Port Arthur was easily the highlight of the year that I turned thirteen, but I remain scepti Read the rest!
