If you're anything like the majority of San Franciscans around the holidays, you know the tendency to get a little crotchety with the onset of days-long rain and the descent into numb-fingered nights. It's not that we have it bad - we're still Californians and get to enjoy close to idyllic weather most of the year, but December in San Francisco is non-descript to the point of being maddening. Without the extremes of warm beaches or snowdrifts on our doorsteps, acting on our winter-induced ennui presents a tantalizing possibility. Whether you want tropics or mountain peaks, snowy chateaus or frothy oceans dotted with surfers... More

Home & Garden
People may say that clothes make the man, but there's nothing more indicative of someone's personality than the manner in which he or she chooses to furnish a home. Tasteful drapes and puffy cushions might serve as markers for classic sensuality; ergonomic Panton chairs and monochromes might indicate a get-to-the-point simplicity. Most likely, there's a little bit of everything in our personal chic. Whether it's French country, American classic, or an altogether unique universe of textiles and upholstery, there's a place in the city that reflects each decorator's special je ne sais quoi. More

In San Francisco slaves to fashion are as ubiquitous as pointy-toed shoes and Seven jeans, but only a select few are true vixens of style. You know one when you see her. She's the girl on the bus with that perfect handbag or the siren next to you at the bar dolled up in a one-of-a-kind blouse. She's the girl you pass on the street wearing a skirt you can't help but covet. Style, particularly personalized style, is an it-girl's holy grail and there are a few talented ladies in Hayes Valley dedicating their time to help those of us who are searching, to find that certain fashion sass.

Too Macho For Its Own Good
I pretended I didn't, but as a young girl I did wish the ways of the world and children at play were different, and that I could be allowed - just once - to enter the clubhouse in our attic over which my older brother and his friends presided. Later, emboldened by a few more years and inches, I did sneak into the clubhouse... which, while in some ways thrilling, was, all in all, a disappointment. More

Lots of revenge
It seems foolish for Marvel Comics to have timed the release of <I>The Punisher</I> so it coincides with the opening of the second volume of Quentin Tarantino's <I>Kill Bill</I> when their premises are so similar. And like Tarantino's picture, there is no shortage of carnage in <I>The Punisher</I>. But, that is where the similarities end. More
