P.S. Last night I saw a screening of the short documentary film "Carissa" about a former child prostitute who went on to get an MBA from UCLA. It was very powerful. They will be making the film available with a curriculum for folks working with at-risk youth/juvenile offenders in about six months…You can email the filmmaker via the website for more info.
P.P.S. Eric Spencer interviewed me for his podcast about Ypulse….I'm at the end. He's funny.

Regarding this bit about the new version of 90210:
========================
Matriarch of the family is Tabitha Mills, a 60-something actress/alchoholic who was a major star in the 1970s and had been linked to everyone from Warren Beatty to Jack Nicholson.
=====================
The TV shows "That 80s Show" and "Dead Like Me" each had a running joke in which a female character was supposed to have slept with a lot of celebrities.
In both cases, the joke quickly stopped being funny.

I saw the Greek promos in Aeropostale the other day! I even got some cool Greek swag once I bought some stuff! Hey I love these promos especially when I get free stuff.
