For freelance journalist Mary McNice, life is like the froth on a cappuccino -- no substance. She's tired of faking 'attitude' for her weekly column, of trying to keep up with what's Hot and what's NOT, which colour is this week's new black. Even her lover, the hunky Rory, has another lover on the side.
