love music -- I listen to it, I buy it, I write about it, I even -- for a few bands I truly love -- promote it. I do grassroots marketing/internet promotions for Spiraling and also work with No More Dolls.
I am writer/copy editor/jack of all trades for HOOTERS Magazine, FHM, sheknows.com, Little Brown Book, The Knot, High Times, julib.com, Black Enterprise, rarei.com, YRB, INKED, COED, Beauty News NYC, Animal Fair, New York Resident, svdigitaluniverse.com, and contributing author to Chicken Soup for the Dieter's Soul. (Yup! Published author, finallly!), and whoever else pays me. (Please check out my Web site at http://www.mediabistro.com/alywalansky)

Aside from all that, I tend to be totally obsessed with the things I love. I'm a huge fan of the South Beach Diet, and love to be missionary-like in sharing its virtues with anyone that will listen. (So much that I often piss people off!) I also LOVE to shop, especially in outlet centers. I am a big fan of trying out bars and restaurants (and yelping about them on yelp.com, haha) - and I love to veg out in my flannel pjs and watch the food network for hours on end.

Oh, and as much as I love the whole eating healthy/shopping thing...I hate to exercise, with a passion. Unless it's the cardio stiptease workout. Or bellydancing. :) And if you put me near a pitcher of sangria or a lychee martini, all thoughts of self-control go out the window :)
