| Introduction | We are the founders of the Creative Urban Urchin League (CUUL), a wholly non-profit (though YOU shall profit from our accumulated wisdom) organization run by, and for, petite, vixenish, (sometimes kittenish) hip 30something urbanites, and the men and women who love them--or at least bookmark them. The Urban Urchin Omnibus is, as its name suggests, an all-encompassing disquisition, chock full of gossip, sex talk, fashion advice, cultural commentary, and of course the faaascinating minutiae of our lives. Now, carry on. |
