In Rapid Fire, we ask each Girl to finish the beginning of a sentence we provide. They will have only mere milliseconds to provide a response, so these answers will come straight from their unconscious, unencumbered by oppressive societal conventions and the insidious forces of excessive politeness. Enjoy Shira Lazar! My motto is… Spend less time being interesting and more time being interested... [Read more]
Yeah that happened. It was funny because at the time I had the least set of everyone still Twitter followers and all that. My agent called me and she’s said, “Playboy was going to be featuring you as one of the women following Twitter. They were just giving you a heads up if it’s okay.” I’m like sure.

Ted Talks are my current obsession. If I can’t fall asleep, I’ll go on Ted.com – ideas worth spreading. They’re the biggest thought leaders in the world that make you feel really dumb, like you’re not doing anything, but they also inspire you and so, before I go to bed and sometimes during the day, I’ll just check Ted.com and it’s like some of their shorter...

I performed a lot when I was younger and then it ended up evolving to when I came here to LA. I was here finishing school and doing a program. I was interning at a radio station, Star 98.7. We’d voice track a morning show for Rochester, New York. I had produced a little bit and we recorded at like 1:00 AM and I would have to go to school the next day. I would write out and produce his little... [Read more]
My day-to-day is CBS News. I do video blogs for them. I have a section called ‘On the Scene’ where I talk about social trends and pop culture and it’s kind of like the nexus of what people are talking about online and how that’s moving offline.
