"I take migraine meds and I have injectables for when they get really bad. Out of everything in my suitcase (like awesome shoes and handbags), someone took my three injectable Imitrex meds. And if you don't get migraines, it's not like these meds would have any affect, like Oxycontin or something fun. It was just totally bizarre. And the injectables are needle-less so that wasn't the issue either!" —Felissa A, @SportsGalNYC
Strapped
"We had just arrived in New York and were getting ready to go out to dinner. Paul was getting dressed and asked me what I did with his belts.
