Hair Dryer Rehab
While tossing a blow dryer into our backpacks was tempting, we realized we had to simplify our hair care routine to lighten our load.

How We: Chose a Route
In a Lost Girl’s life, nothing’s ever set in stone, and that holds true for the path we plan to travel during the next year. It’s not if we plan to change cities, schedules, ports of call and our minds, but just how many times we can do it…and get away with it.
Since the moment...

Packing Hell…
As anyone who’s lost hours of their life scraping invisible shreds of packing tape from a roll can attest, moving day–and the week leaving up to it-truly suck. Actually, we hear it’s a little like childbirth in that it’s supposed to be miserable, but you have to be the one actually...

Crash and Burn

Have you seen Davis?
Today, New York City loses more than a fraction of its coolness-and one of its most fabulous hipsters-as good friend and Honorary Lost Girl Stephanie Davis leaves Gotham to take a new job in her hometown of Atlanta, Georgia.

Show me pouty…
The biting, frigid wind couldn’t stop The Lost Girls today as we zoomed (along with Grand Master Patrick, our fabulous photog) to the top of the Library Hotel on Madison Avenue. The setting couldn’t have been more perfect for taking headshots; even on a mostly cloudy February day, we still...
