ERICA (Oxygen's "Bad Girls Club")
From Yorba Linda, CA, Erica is a rough-edged cheerleader who loves tattoos, being the boss, and getting what she wants. She touts her love for gossip, sex, fast driving, and living on the edge. Working as a bartender/go go dancer, Erica is blunt and never fake, causing others to not handle her honest opinions. Bad Girls Club- airs Tuesdays at 9pm ET/PT on OXYGEN. This season, the new batch of seven self-proclaimed "Bad Girls" live together with similarly explosive personalities, resulting in constant clashing between housemates. Besides hitting the trendy South Beach clubs, these "Bad Girls" are ready to take it up a notch -- with manipulative backstabbing friendships, in-house love triangles, exotic trips to the Caribbean, unexpected alliances and endless mind games.


Matt Kramer On Wine- A Matchless Collection  -  Matt Kramer
A Matchless Collection of Columns, Essays, and Observations by America’s Most Original and Lucid Wine Writer  To characterize Matt Kramer as a "wine writer" doesn't quite capture his place in contemporary  American culture. He is, assuredly, a wine writer. But unlike any other writer, Kramer's power  resides not with his ability to sell wines by giving out scores, but rather, by single-handedly  changing the very vocabulary of wine, as well as reshaping how Americans think about what's important in wine today. Matt Kramer is an American wine critic since 1976, who is a columnist for the The Oregonian, (and was a columnist for The New York Sun before its demise in 2008), and previously for Los Angeles Times, and since 1985 a regular contributor to Wine Spectator. He has been described as "perhaps the most un-American of all America's wine writers", by Mike Steinberger as "one of the more insightful and entertaining wine writers around", and by Hugh Johnson as "an intellectual guerrilla among wine writers".
