Abigail Simonsen and Julie Yang

Meet Abigail Simonsen, a beautiful, blonde yoga princess with soul. And her best friend, Julie Yang, a smart, accomplished junior venture capitalist with olive skin and a white heart.

Abby is the classic blonde guys drool over. Think Jessica Simpson without the attitude. She's into yoga and was a dance major in college.

Julie is totally brainy and has the air of being rather stuck-up. Which she is. Part of that famous Asian reserve.

We are collaborators on the relationship blog, Abby and Jules, and self-professed experts in advising the lovelorn.

But as own mating clocks tick frantically, our balanced wisdom devolves to naive bravery and neurotic paralysis.

But we are great friends and incisive observers of culture. Stick around. It'll be fun. And look for our yin yang wisdom in our book Abby and Jules in Spring 2008, or our insightful look at cliques and race in People Like Us.
