Andrea Rosen.

I live and work in New York, New York. You can find me all over the internet, like here, here, or here.



Nice things people have said about me:



"You were deemed 'good to have around.'" -a coworker



"You look like you should be in a catalogue selling Brooklyn." -a roommate



"You think you're a lot funnier than you actually are." -an ex-boyfriend



"Don't put this in your blog." -my mother

The passive aggressive approach to junk mail.

We get junk mail because companies give out and sell our information to solicitors. Subscribe to one catalog and expect half a dozen credit card company mailers each month. While there’s no way to halt this practice, you can at least know who to blame for your overstuffed mailbox.

Here’s how:

Whenever you give out your address, say, by subscribing to a magazine, use a different name. For example: I used to have New York Magazine delivered to one “A Rose,” while my Esquire was addressed to “Bandrea Bosen.” Whenever I received other mail for Bandrea Bosen, I knew Esquire was the culprit. 

For bonus fun, fill out customer surveys differently for each alias as if they have unique personalities and lifestyles. Did you know that Bandrea’s household income is over $100,000 and she watches more than 20 hours of television per week?
