From the Editor: Welcome to Naughty & Nice (Nov/Dec 2008)
As the days approach to the holiday and gift giving season, the child in me wonders what Santa will decide: have I been a naughty girl this year or nice? The adult in me wonders if indulging in that fabulous chocolate pot de creme after dinner is a way of being nice to myself, or if it’s downright naughty. I mean, it tastes so sinfully good, I think it must be a little bit of both. It’s with those thoughts that we welcome you to the final 2008 issue of All Things Girl: Naughty & Nice.
As you scroll through the virtual pages of the November/December 2008 issue of All Things Girl, I hope you appreciate the love, care, and joyfulness found here. It’s so easy to see how good we are when we are being naughty - and how downright angelic we are when we are really nice. First, our classics and representative of our theme: Writings & Arts. In Writings you will find lighthearted, whimsical and downright lovely short stories and poems. I know you’ll recognize some names here in Writings….and will be thrilled at the discovery of some new talent as well. Go ahead - indulge in a cup of rich hot cocoa (with whip cream!) as you indulge. And don’t forget our Arts section, which is a veritable joy to view. Everything Girl is, as always, wonderful. Our feature interviews are both chefs, which I find incredibly fitting when you look at the theme. Food certainly embodies both the yin and the yang of naughty and nice. You will find part one of our interview with Cat Cora as well as a joyful jaunt into the mind of Mario Batali. In addition, you will find wise words and thought-provoking ideas from our regular columnists (including new columist Bev Hamel!). And let’s not forget Reviews!. As part of the gift giving season, you will find some ideas here - as well as in the blog in the weeks to come.
As I mentioned, keep an eye on The Blog. You never know what you might find as the editors and columnists share what’s on their minds.
We’re still taking submissions for “Naughty & Nice” by the way, but you need to be quick. We’ll have a mid-issue update December 1st and will be adding a few items here and there… If you are inspired to share your talents, submissions are open for future editions of All Things Girl – and we can’t wait to see what you’ve got!
Do enjoy the fruits of the holiday season - and share your own special moments of naughtiness and niceness with those you love.
