I subscribed to Violet Magazine back in 2005 and received my single issue which featured Laird Hamilton. I loved the magazine and was left in the dark when future editions did not arrive and their web site was never updated. I knew that Keki was trying to pull the magazine off with what seemed to be an "in-a-garage operation" and never requested my money back. Truth be told I was hopeful the magazine would come back again and I would find a treasure in my mail box! I uncovered my prized single edition today and went searching to find out what ever happened to Violet Magazine. While the web site still isn't updated I did find some answers here in your post. Thank you for the update and for your honest commentary about Cookie's milky white out look on parenting. I’m so happy to read this.

Especially concerning the grocery stores. Small changes would make a big difference. AGREED! Especially concerning the grocery stores. Small changes would make a big difference.

It isn't just momhood that can make you feel old at 32. I recently had an appalling night out with several 25-28 year old boys - grad students at Berkeley. Oh my, did I feel ancient. It involved Bud Light out of a can (which I haven't had since my college days), one of the guys calling the others "douches" & discussions of hot undergrads in the classes they are TAing. I decided it was high time to embrace my pending 32nd bday & recognize that it has a lot more to offer than the 20s ... Loved the Onion article.

Why, yes! What else better to do in the dog days of summer in Gotham than to camp out in an ice-cold movie theater with some popcorn and a Slurpee? The Film Forum's NYC Noir series is especially unmissable, even if you've seen some of the films before; I've only mentioned two pairs of the many worthwhile ones on offer. Lotsa movies in this list?
