pCareer satisfaction, life-work balance, the reality of the changing workplace, and understanding personal goals and priorities has been emotionally draining for many as we surface from the economic crisis./p

Which “Sex & The City 2” Star Was Best Dressed At The Film’s World Premiere?

imageJust two months ago, we caught up with only 3/4 of the ever-stylish SATC 2 gang back at ShoWest (Kim Cattrall was too busy being fabulous in the UK). However, all 4 leading ladies were finally reunited just in time to rule the red carpet (err, blue carpet!) at the film’s much-anticipated World Premiere at New York’s Radio City Music Hall. While rumor has it that the obscenely expensive film wardrobe is rather disappointing (say it ain’t so!), the stars definitely didn’t disappoint in person in their gorgeous gowns! Sarah Jessica Parker and Kristin Davis both popped in refreshing neon shades, rocking Valentino and vintage Jean Desses, respectively. Kim Cattrall (in a slinky, sparkly gold Naeem Khan number) and Cynthia Nixon (in a strapless Carolina Herrera gown) donned more classic evening-appropriate looks. As stunning as they all looked on their big night, only one can be named best dressed! Vote for your favorite look below! Photo Credit: PR Photos

The New MTA Map

Next month, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority will unveil a resized, recolored and simplified edition of the well-known map, its first overhaul in more than a decade.

The new subway map makes Manhattan even bigger, reduces Staten Island and continues to buck the trend of the angular maps once used here and still preferred in many other major cities. Detailed information on bus connections that was added in 1998 has been considerably shortened.
