Wait, the iPhone comes out at 6PM!?

This is a view of what is going on at the 5th avenue Apple store on Friday morning….Okay were we the only ones that thought the iPhone was going to start being sold at 6:00 am???  God this makes the line standers even more pathetic than we once thought.  At least the weather is better but really we are more excited about this whole thing being over with and our lives going back to normal on Monday….oh wait, we forgot, the iPhone is going to change our lives as we know them…

The line now wraps around the GM building….

More from “The Estate”

Earlier we showed you where the party house was this summer. Well here are some of the C list models you may find yourself next to this weekend at the Pink Elephant House simply called “The Estate”

We love it when Models pretend to eat:

Jimmy Fallon still likes Pastis

Say what you will about the hyped up, totally passé brunch venue in Meatpacking, or the Meatpacking district period….we still like the eggs benedict there, plus Jimmy Fallon still goes there (this is from last Sunday) and that’s reason enough for us.

The Growing Line

Here are pictures taken 10 minutes ago outside the 5th Avenue Apple store.  It is crazy hot and humid out.  We hope these guys are enjoying the 10 seconds of fame they will be getting from this little stunt of theirs.

Cultural Enlightenment

Greg Packer of Long Island wins the retard award for being the first person in line for the Apple iPhone at their 5th avenue store.  Wow.  I mean at first when we heard he set up camp on Monday almost a whole WEEK before the big event, we thought to ourselves “what idiot would waste his time doing that?!”  Now, based on the bags of scooby doo snacks and gatorade, we’re pretty sure the things he is seeing outside the store on 5th avenue are far more interesting than anything going on in his life in Long Island, and we approve of his cultural enlightenment experience…

The Calm Before the Storm

Apple Store, 5th Avenue stairs 

Yesterday, Kelly Clarkson did a show on the General Motors Building Plaza outside the 5th Avenue Apple Store. Today, The Fray is there performing…humidity aside, it is becoming a semi-Disney-World-like environment on that plaza.  This iPhone hoopla is getting out of control.  We remember when people frequented that plaza for a casual lunch date, or a breeze through the Apple store with their pooch (see arrow), asking questions entirely unrelated to that phone:

There was little to report on that day save for the woman wearing that god awful scruncie and the boy looking at porn:

We won’t dare check out the sceen inside the store today or for a considerable period after the release of the phone that is supposedly going to turn our world upsidedown this Friday…

Karl Marx Reading Karl Marx?

Its true!  Mr. Karl Marx has been spotted reading Karl Marx.  The Worker’s hero has reappeared on American soil, albeit looking a bit soiled and lacking the suit and polish of yesteryears.  Nonetheless he still remains as a beacon of hope for the Proletariot, and apparently has been in talks with comrad Obama.  Could this be the tipping point for the upcoming 2008 elections? 

Unaware of the Connection….

…with The French Connection

Still not sure how The Transformers ties in with the French Connection’s Menswear line but leave it to Bloomingdale’s to find out.  Something’s going on here and we’re betting that it’s some crazy Transformer fan that works on the marketing team at Bloomingdale’s has another nerd friend that shares the same obsession with the film, working at the French Connections Promotional department and, voila!….a connection force is formed.

Breaking: Young Americans are Leaning Left, Don’t Care if President Smoked Pot

Believe it or not, The New York Times today reports that a new poll shows that not only are young americans leaning left, but they don’t care if the President smoked pot.  We aren’t sure why there needed to be a poll to confirm this, or why this is “news” at all.  Young people have always been left!  Have they forgotten the old adage that if you’re not liberal when you are young, you have no heart, and if you are not conservative when you are older, you have no brain?

Kelly Clarkson wants an iPhone

So she decided that she would put on a free concert outside their 5th avenue store in the hopes that maybe they would like her and give her dibs on the new highly anticipated phone that comes out friday.  What she did accomplish was giving those idiots waiting in line already for the phone quite the show, though it wasn’t a good one, and her songs sucked, her outfit surely gave them something funny to talk about to pass the time away…

Seersucker Thursdays

In 1996, a member of the “world’s most exclusive club” decided to start a revolution on a random Thursday each June.  No, this didn’t involve opening up the upstairs of Cipriani’s downtown to the “normal” folk, this was a much bigger phenomenon.  It was in mid June in ‘96 that Trent Lott, the senator from Mississippi, decided to put in place “Seersucker Thursdays” for the entire Senate Republican Senators to uphold.  This has become dubbed the “Annual Rite of Washington Summer” after Lott decided it was time to revive the long-forgotten tradition and show that “the Senate isn’t just a bunch of dour folks wearing dark suits and…red or blue ties.” Hmmm…let’s take a look at the picture below, nope the seersucker does nothing to take away the dourness, maybe stealing some outfits from the gays posted on below would be a more productive way to do this.
