claudia: Trailer for He’s Just Not That Into You. I didn’t read the book that this movie is based on, and the title alone makes me want to hit something, but I’ll see this. I refused to read the book for a really long time until ayesha sent me the PDF version. Straussypants and i read it and discussed on gchat. Um. this movie looks AMAZING.  p.s. i really don’t follow the wait around...

Starting Salaries but New York Tastes →
peterwknox: caro: What this article fails to mention is how us dirt-poor New Yorkers living in closets are getting the last laugh, sort of: Gas prices! This article is pretty on target, at least for me and most of my friends.  We all have our jobs in fashion, media, etc., but starting salaries and the ny cost of living forces us to finesse our checks in order to maintain our social lives. ...

5 reasons why i shouldn't make hanging out with...
1. They’re vapid. 2. Generally the peak of a model’s career is in their early 20’s, if that. Meaning, they’re underage and get into places based on their look alone. Meaning, they have the maturity level of a 12 year old. 3. They will never get over the Chelsea club scene no matter how much you tell them that the Lower East Side/East Village is more fun, less crowded by...

Gladwell 3
This has to be one of the most exciting things I’ve heard today.  HUGE fan of Malcolm Gladwell. Seriously. And this book just sounds like it’s going to be phenomenal. I am seriously psyched about this… I WISH IT WAS OUT NOW. topherchris: Apparently, Malcolm Gladwell’s third book is entitled Outliers: Why Some People Succeed and Some Don’t and is due on November 18, 2008. ...

Stephen: I need to formulate more questions for my 'are you a crazy girl?' survey.
Me: What about 'Would you do anything at a party confessional for some alcohol'?
Stephen: No, that's for the party girl survey. Which brings me back to my sidekick theory. Girls who own sidekicks are the biggest party girls.
* party confessional = camera hooked up in a room with a live (but not recorded) feed to a TV in public area of the party

Girl’s night out? More like Bro-in It Out. Not a huge “Girl’s night out” kind of girl (in fact i had one last week, and I’m thinking that’s my one for the year and i’m covered). I’m more of a hang out with a bunch of my guy friends/bands type of person (a la, obi’s phrase of i just wanna bro-it out).  This video from Who What Wear daily has...

Obi: Raphael was dark... mysterious... the backbone

Josh: OK fine... Obi you be Raphael, Bianca you're Raphaela
Obi: No it doesn't work that way

THIS is what's replacing the Tower Records space... →
OMG. So I didn’t get peeved over the John Varvatos at CBGB like many “rock purists” did… in fact I was really ok with it, as I posted before…. BUT a STEVE AND BARRY’S at the TOWER RECORDS SPACE?!?! I am a huge shopper, always open to great deals. In fact I don’t think that the lines sold at Steve and Barry’s (aka the Sarah Jessica Parker’s...
