Medical Marijuana Lights Up San Diego Schools
 
 

Grossmont Union High School District officials caught multiple San Diego students with medical marijuana cards on campus.
For decades, students have created excuses to get out of trouble, avoid blame, and explain school absence. From fake doctor notes to forged parent notes, students have used them all. But until now, proof of a [...]

Prom Dresses Wanted…
 
 

The only prom I went to I actually made my own dress.  It was pretty sad–  let’s just say its a good thing I’m not making my living as a dress designer or a seamstress, I’d probably be homeless by now.
Operation Fairy Godmother is a program of Soroptimist International (Valley de Oro chapter) that provides [...]

Best Guilt-Free Shopping in San Diego
 
 

Although this Cinco de Mayo won’t be the traditional sombrero and margarita filled extravaganza, I have a feeling this year’s celebration is going to be the best one yet. I’m going to the Jeans for Justice charity event in Rancho Santa Fe. A few good friends of mine are modeling the jeans, and another friend [...]

Best Summer Concert Venue in San Diego- Del Mar Fairground Rocks all Summer
 
 

I can’t wait for the summer concert series to start up at the Del Mar Fairground. I’m not a huge fan of broken-down rides, smelly animal shows, or losing all my money betting on horses that never win during the Fair and Racetracks— but the Del Mar Fairground does rock awesome concerts. I think the [...]

Who Else Wants to Ban Smoking on San Diego Beaches?
 
 

Littering is a bad habit that disgusts me. When you litter, you ruin the local environment. San Diego beaches are the worst problem. Don’t mess with my beach litterbugs! I don’t understand how hard it is for people to find trashcans. Honestly, are they trying to ruin the environment?
The big drama on the [...]

Would you Rather… San Diego Models, Nudity and Fur
 
 

Not the newest of news, but something interesting I came across that transpired recently in a local mall. Anyone catch a cell phone shot?
“Would You Rather…” is a somewhat-meaningless modern interpretation of the traditional “question and answer” game. Rather than providing your own answer to the question, this new game offers up two [...]
