  Some weeks ago, the whole Cosmo staff broke out in a flurry of conversation over an email that was sent to me by a friend based in New York. It was about a book written for single women that challenged everything we’d like to believe about love and marriage. We gathered along the aisle to discuss Marry Him: The Case For Settling For Mr. Good Enough by Lori Gottlieb. The author is 40, beautiful, accomplished—and single. In her book, she encourages women everywhere to “stop chasing the elusive Prince Charming, and instead go for Mr. Good Enough,” so as not to end up with the same fate she did. Naturally, that got us all talking about our expectations and deal breakers, and whether or not they could be considered reasonable.

• The Things I Learned From "The Devil Wears Prada"

  By The Devil Wears Prada (2006) I mean the movie, which I love more than the book (and this is not usually the case for film adaptations of novels that I like). And by 'things I learned' I don't mean how to be a Miranda Priestly. There are several reasons I can watch this movie over and over without getting tired of it, and even quote some of the lines (which, I discovered last year, some people are also fond of doing).
  
  One of them is Meryl Streep’s amazing portrayal of “devil incarnate” Miranda Priestly. Then there’s Anne Hathaway’s Andrea (Andy) Sachs, with whom I can truly sympathize. Of course, I also love all the outfits she wore, post-makeover. In fact, one of my favorite scenes is that quick sequence showing her in various outfits right after Nigel (Stanley Tucci) gave her access to The Runway Closet.

  I caught myself listening to 'NSync on my way to work this morning, and as I was quietly singing along to "Dirty Pop," I realized how much sense the lyrics make. Not that I know any pop superstars, because all my musician friends are in rock bands, but if you don't think about the lyrics' music scene context, the theme rings true.
  
  Where they sing "It doesn't matter 'bout the car I drive or the ice around my neck / All that matters is that you recognize that it's just about respect / It doesn't matter about the clothes I wear and where I go and why," they're talking about celebrity life like it is.

• A Fresh Start

  When my editor asked me to submit a blog for Cosmo, that's only when it hit me: I have been an avid reader of the magazine ever since, as I'm sure most of you are. The proof: my room has a library of the glossies I’ve collected over the years. I've seen all the fabulous women who graced the cover, soaked in all the fashion and beauty tips it dished, and allowed the love advice it gave to influence my life one way or the other. And now, I can't believe I'm actually working for the title.

• Always A Bridesmaid...
  Posted on February 21, 2010 06:00PM by Happy Lopez, Associate Fashion Editor | 3 Comment/s »
  
  
  

  
  ...And I’m okay not to be the bride—for now at least. Last year, I was a bridesmaid and a secondary sponsor in two of my friends’ weddings. And this year, I was the maid of honor at another friend’s wedding; I will be a bridesmaid again later this year. It has become a twice a year pattern.
  
  I guess it’s quite expected at my age that a lot of my friends are starting to tie the knot, and it seems there’s that pressure to follow suit. After all, I will be hitting 30 next year, and to many, that means I’m about to reach the finish line. Will I be the next to get married? (I did win the garter game at the last wedding, hehe!) Maybe, maybe not--who knows!
