Discussions
In the car yesterday, Megan and I were discussing my date with Everette. She wanted to hear my story of being in London and finding out the guy I was there with had been (and technically still was) married. And in her true Megan way, she wanted me to look at it from a less-cheery […]

Washington – Date Two
Fine, I admit it. I have a hard time making decisions between two exceptional choices. So with only one day in Seattle and two really nice potential dates from How About We, I couldn’t play “eenie-meenie-miney-moe” like I did when I was a child — I went out with both! This is the story of […]

Washington – Date One
Fine, I admit it. I have a hard time making decisions between two exceptional choices. So with only one day in Seattle and two really nice potential dates from How About We, I couldn’t play eenie-meenie-miney-moe like I did when I was a child — I went out with both! Up first, Nitin. Props to […]

He’s Nice! (Or Is He?)
I have a tendency to be Miss Merry Sunshine about situations and people, handing over the benefit of the doubt as if it were a limited time offer and I am unable to pass up a good deal. For example, while on my Oregon date we came across a house with the porch light on […]

Oregon Date
Here’s a new way to meet someone: have a friend who is on the same dating site as you recommend a guy she’s already been out with and connect via said dating site. That’s exactly how I met Jon, who lives in Portland, Oregon. Our profiles said we were a 95% match, but percentages aside, […]

Keeping It Casual
I was very casually dating a nice boy before I left to go on a first date in every state. Will is a very nice guy who, when I told him at our first meeting what my future had planned, simply said, “That’s okay. Let’s keep this casual. And I’d like to take you to […]

Getting Dressed for 50/50 Just Got a Lot Easier
Holy cannoli. My absolute favorite retailer, ModCloth, has signed on to sponsor the documentary. Which means a few days ago I got to peruse their website and feel like I was doing my job (instead of feeling like a fashion junkie desperate for a fix of retro-cuteness). I’ve been a ModCloth disciple since a friend […]

And Then I Learned About Makeup
As it turns out, makeup application has changed since I was a nine-year-old attendee of my second-ever slumber party. Anointing the lips with mauve, smearing cheeks with hot pink, and using artistic grace to apply rose, gold, emerald and fuchsia in nonrainbow order — as I did to Courtney, the only girl brave enough to […]

What Is “Pre-Production,” Anyway?
Quite a few cats (and people) have asked me what exactly it is the 50/50 team has been up to since our Kickstarter ended. Simply put, we’ve been in pre-production. Could we be more nebulous? Not really. Let’s unpack that a bit. Pre-production basically means that we’re doing everything humanly possible to have a smooth(ish) […]

Packing/Unpacking
I’ve been doing the literal kind of packing — rolling clothes into tiny balls and hoping they won’t wrinkle. But it turns out that part of this process is a figurative unpacking — running into old boyfriends and sussing out unanswered questions. In go the block-colored kitten heels. Out comes the confession that we cannot be friends. […]
