      There is only one moment in a man&#39;s life when he will publicly enjoy Celine Dion: his wedding day. Do we care whether or not his heart will go on? Of course not. But for a few hours, we pretend. It&#39;s the rules. We forgive the cheesy personalized vows, allow vapid quips to pass for nostalgic speeches and turn a blind eye when our friends suddenly go from modern, professional women to subservient Stepfords. Covering your face with a veil?

      Most people put condiments on their food -- I put food on my condiments. I douse whatever I can in Tabasco, but not because it makes me feel tough or because I like having a runny nose. Hot sauce has been the key to my self-created weight management program for years -- when your tongue&#39;s burning, you&#39;re not going to eat any more than exactly what&#39;s needed. The lineup in my refrigerator looks a bit like Whole Foods, sans the

        Lapping up Sarasota's feline fraternity...
       
      
        By Zoë Feldman
      
      
      Unlike you, I&#39;m not afraid to admit it: I love reality TV. Sometimes, I worry that the obsession makes me a voyeur. But then I start thinking about those creepy dormitory webcams and &quot;voyeur&quot; starts sounding like &quot;fetish&quot; -- and that doesn&#39;t feel right. My fixation is really more a matter of proximity: The TV is just sitting there, a sort of hyper-accessible glimpse into the human psyche. Spend an afternoon watching a Real World marathon -- you&#39;ll be amazed

        Trading nights on the couch for nights on the mic....

      There&#39;s nothing worse than knowing how a book&#39;s going to end before you open it. And for years, I could predict exactly where my story was headed. I was married then and hadn&#39;t penned a chapter in years worth reading. I was looking at a lifetime of biweekly Subway dinners followed by three-hour marathons of bad primetime TV. The week&#39;s climax? A Friday night early-bird dinner with my ex&#39;s business prospects du jour. So as a woman who has been

        By Zoë Feldman
      
      
      Sarasota owns exactly one boot. I know this because I got it -- the one and only boot -- last week. I was sitting in my home office when a friend knocked in that frantic sort of way that makes screening impossible. (Not that I ever do that). I threw a robe on over my pajamas -- working from home has its perks -- and answered the door. &quot;You got the boot,&quot; he said. The what? Historically, I had only

        By Zoë Feldman
      
      
      For the less-than-fashionable, 1994 may be an unmemorable year. But for style-addicts like myself, it was pivotal in a &quot;we must never forget&quot; sort of way. Body suits replaced proper shirts, overalls reigned, Liz Claiborne was considered designer and women rocked pantsuits. It also happened to be the year I was supposed to win &quot;Best Dressed&quot; in my senior yearbook. I had spent years securing my position in the Alpha group as the stylish one, but I&#39;d always been a
