Stories 31 Oct 2013 Mar Yvette

What better way to kick off Halloween than with the one & only Stan Lee?!!! The comic book icon loved my taco costume (he was especially diggin' the 'stache) and said maybe I'll be his next superhero: Taco Girl!

Elvira, Coffin Go-Karts & A Guy Who Pops Corn From His Eye!

Stories 25 Oct 2013 Mar Yvette

Halloween is always a fun time of year because I looove to dress up in costumes. (Notice my Mar-iposa ensemble?? Cute and kinda clever, right?) Well, even though I could do without the zombies, blood and gore that this spooky un-holy-day brings, somehow I ended up at a place called Abracadaver where I rode on a coffin go-kart, hung out in a limo hearse with the next-generation Elvira, and STAPLED A DOLLAR BILL to a guy's forehead ON LIVE TV after he had just popped out a corn kernel from his eyeball!! You won't believe YOUR eyes!!!

Wacky Halloween Workouts & Travis Barker’s Vegan Hot Spot

Stories 24 Oct 2013 Mar Yvette

Workout getting boring? No probs. Halloween is here, which means it's the perfect time to step out of your fitness rut and make it fun. Dress up like a superhero (or, in my case, a green-mulletted 80s party girl) and get a jump on losing the five pounds you know you're gonna gain over the holidays. And to help keep you on the svelte and narrow, check out Crossroads, LA's vegan mecca that is making believers out of meat eaters. I got co-owner Travis Barker from Blink 182 to stop by the show to talk about all the plant-based goodness. It rocks!
