Dear Frieda, I'm getting married in two weeks. My husband and I will be leaving for our honeymoon right after the reception. Here is my problem: I normally wear sweats or a long flannel nightgown to bed, but my fiancé asked me to get something "really special" for our wedding night. I went to a [...]
Dear Frieda, One of my best friends is turning 30 in a couple of weeks. To celebrate, she wants to have a girls' night out at an exclusive nightclub. I've heard that there's a line every night, and if the bouncer doesn't approve of the way you look, you won't even get in the door! [...]
Dear Frieda, I just relocated for a new job, and I'm anxious to make some friends. Yesterday, a group of young women in the office invited me to go to opening day at the horse races with them. I was so excited to be included, until I heard more of the details. Apparently, its traditional [...]
Dear Frieda, A couple of months ago, I rashly told my sister-in-law that I would babysit my niece and nephew any time. Well, guess what? This 4th of July weekend, I've been roped into taking the two youngsters to the zoo! To top it off, I already have a date for that evening, for [...]

Dear Frieda, I love wearing sweats and an old t-shirt when I'm hanging around the house on the weekend, but my BF says I look like a slob! What can I do? Sincerely, Comfort Lover This letter from a desperate fan inspired this week's #friedasfashionfriday. According to me, nothing says comfort like a robe-de-chambre, [...]
Now that the weather's getting warmer, I has some advice: Start taking hula lessons! According to me, the arrival of Spring heralds the arrival of party invitations with a tropical theme. And while my "Luau Ensemble" says "Aloha Oe," it also gives off a little "Oy Vey!"
I didn’t want to go, not even a little bit. In fact, if you asked me what my worst weekend imaginable looks like, I’d say standing in a desert with 90,000 hippies at a music festival. That’s the truth. Yet there I was, heading south in bumper to bumper traffic somewhere between the city of [...]
