Allow me to Introduce Myself....

I am a thirty something Italian American girl who grew up in Canarsie, Brooklyn. My mom moved me and my sister there after she decided she couldn’t take being married to a man who made her line up 10 towels in size order that had to be periwinkle blue  and meticulously placed on their bed each night after he took a shower. After which he would lay upside down on a special chair that had to be exactly one foot from the floor while she fluffed his coif with each towel one by one at 1.3 seconds per towel usage.    
So I think you can imagine the damage he did to her self esteem.
From then on I was basically raised by my old school Italian grandma, a mom who was trying to find herself and a block full of  nosy  neighbors. Yes growing up in such an environment has made me who I am today, but don’t judge me. I call myself Coco Warbucks as to protect my family name as well as pay homage to my 2 favorite characters I admired growing up, Annie Warbucks and Coco from Fame.

Please stay tuned for what's to come.. 
Check out the movie Annie or Coco's boobies in the movie Fame 
Also if you are interested in purchasing a set of perwinkle towels like the OCD Dad had Target has some lovely varieties

This is based on a true story. My intention is to make this into a short film. Let me know if any of you out there can relate! I give you "The Couple" The Couple Drop in on a couple sitting in a car early evening. Sophia is in the passenger seat and Max is behind the wheel. The car is still parked and there is a tension in the air you couldn’t even cut with a knife, you would need a chain saw, a power hammer and a picture of Jack the Ripper to rupture the stiffness.  Sophia hadn’t seen Max in over a week and was hoping to lay naked with him at some point before dawn. She bought a new pair of black high heels and wore tight gray jeans in the hopes of enticing Max after his long flight from California which included 2 lay overs. The last thing on Max’s mind was her stiletto heels and freshly died fake blonde hair. He was tired, he was pensive and he just needed a few laughs to relieve him of his over thinking mind. Sophia, being the unreserved damsel that she was looked i

The Ground Round

If you ever visited The Ground Round as a kid you may have found memories of the peanuts and popcorn served to you before dinner in baskets(as many free refills as you want) the very cool movie screens with cartoons and Abbott and Costello movies playing and the ice cream sundaes served in plastic baseball hats. OR you may even remember “Pay What you Weigh Tuesdays”. This is when children under the age of 12 wait in line to get weighed after which some young punk announces your weight over the microphone to the entire restaurant. Whatever you weigh that is what you pay. Now, not only did I grow up hairy I grew up loving food and I kind of resembled a very husky Mexican boy. I HATED going to The Ground Round and I certainly did not want to attend “Pay what you Fucking weigh TUESDAYS!” My sister,mother and father who were frickin tooth picks however LOVED the Gound Round. My dad in particular love to take us especially on Tuesdays!! Rather than let you read my painful recollection ple

The Devil Bought Me a Juicer

SO it is a new year, 2013!! 13 is my lucky number so this has got to be my year right? I mean last year I found out that I had a large tumor growing from my side that twitched like Woody Allen and had a secret obsession with horses who liked to knit. It almost suffucated me, it almost convinced me to change my name to faithless and use coffee filters instead of toilet paper. Oh wait a minute that wasn't a tumor it was my ex husband.... No but really now that I got that little dig out of the way I can honestly say we are best friends now. Now that I can accept him for the souless, selfish bastard that he is we get along great! No but seriously he gave me a gift that is priceless which is my true soulmate, my daughter D and for that I am forever grateful. He did also give me ring worm, a tilted uterus and an an odd need to quote Hellen Keller . SO in 2013 I made a promise to myself to forgive and move on not only for myself but for my daughter's sake. I even agreed to
