About Ali Martell

When Ali isn't writing her Seinfeld-esque drivel over at her personal site, Cheaper Than Therapy, or writing about fashion on her YummyMummyClub.ca blog From Hemlines to Heels, she is giving Buffy the Vampire Slayer a chance, laughing maniacally at the absurdity of 50 Shades of Grey, and trying to stop the world from wearing leggings as pants.
