Who is Mark Birbaum?

Mark Birbaum was born on June 10th, 1977.  So was his best friend and business partner, Eugene Remm.  Because of the similarity in bdays, these two decided it would be cool to start a club together, hence TenJune was born.  Nowandays, Mr. Birbaum can be seen prancing around the “scene” with his posse of wanna-bees models, and sometimes the occasional celebritard such as Lalohan or Kayne.  He is helping to make Pink Elephant in southampton THE hot place to be this summer (as well as “the estate” house that he owns with Remm).  He is in constant competition with the “other players” aka Noah Tepperberg and Jason Strauss of Marquee and Dune.  Well there’s not much else to say about the guy, as he really has added nothing else to humanity save tables stocked with over priced “models” and bottles,  and those drummer guys of course….however, we’ve got to hand it to him, the guy knows what to do to get the ladies around him, because let’s face it, making silly faces with a club owner is soooo “sick”, as these kids today would say….

Remembering those that came before us…

Last night we found ourselves walking past the old Limelight nightclub on 6th avenue.  Opened in an old church in 1983 this club became famous for recreational drug use, drug trafficking and club kid meanderings.  In 2003, it was turned into Avalon nightclub which you should never find yourself even considering going to, although we did once just to see the inside of what was once the hottest nightclub in the world.  An entire film “Party Monster” (starring Macaulay Culkin and Seth Green) was based around the happenings of this club and the parties that took place here.  It’s a great way to beef up your Club Kid knowledge…these are the ones that started the New York night club scene, that became notorious for the outlandish parties in subway cars and fast food joints, and that are still (at least trying to be) very much a part of it.  They (Richie Rich, Kenny Kenny, Steve Lewis, etc) are the players that were, before there was Noah, or Sacco, Eugene or Birbaum… So, let us take a moment to remember those that came before….and then promise ourselves we will never go back.

Eddie Irvine…F1 Playboy of the Year.

This Friday night we attended an exclusive party put on by F1 Racer Eddie Irvine for his good friend, Max Ferrari, who was in town from London.   The private party was in his posh Tribeca loft, a space that could very well be considered house-like, with 3 levels and over 6 balconies providing delicious views of the city (and making us feel like peons).  Known for his wild parties with megu money makers and models abound, Eddie is out to show the world that F1 Playboys really do have more fun..

As if the opulent food, bars, and pretty people weren’t enough, Eddie hired a full on drum crew to walk around during the party as well as bagpipe players, presumably as a shotout to his native country.  It’s hard being jealous of someone that shares his wealth in the form of parties such as these, and actually spent 5 minutes talking to us (he’s nice).  Our consensus: Play on Playboy!!….(oh and please try and stock up on the champagne next time, you ran out at 1:30).

Tar Beach

What you’ve never been to Tar Beach?  It is a little strip of paradise on Elizabeth street in NYC.  Very exclusive, posh, and hard to get into.  If you are one of the lucky chosen few that are accepted to participate in the fun that goes on here on Sundays in the summer, prepare yourself for an experience of a lifetime.

This guy rocks.

Everything You Need to Know: Adidas UltraStar

So why do people buy Adidas UltraStar shoes?  In addition to being ridiculously white, they have a bizarre tortoise-shell plastic cover on the toe box, the appeal of which we can’t seem to understand.  Just imagine the maintenance and work to keep these things squeaky clean.  Or maybe owners tend to own multiple pairs, consistent with their already front-loaded lifestyle?  We find them generally being sported by aerobic/weightlifting obsessed guidbags and guidettes.  In short, they are a favorite of the Everlast crew, a group we will certainly post on in due time. 

Kid Rock, Rocking it.

Here’s a pic from our Inbox of Kid Rock taken at 3am with some random fan out in the Hamptons last weekend.  We wonder which venue they were at….we are putting our money on Pink Elephant, though Dune and Star are also valid guesses…Next less guess which substances they chose to intake throughout the night….

Socialgays in their primes

We’re not sure what’s worse, the fact that parties like this actually take place, or that Gawker (even though they poke fun at them) actually goes to take the pictures of it.  Furthermore, we find these photos plastered on Micah’s facebook.  His family from Hotlanta no doubt think that he is the shit, with his birthday party at the hottest New York club “HOME”, and that actually kind of puts a smile on our face ha.

Last night was Kristian Laliberte’s Paris Match party at Fredericks.  And we’ve decided to take back the Gawker jab…we hope to god they went and took pictures, because even though we stayed as far away from 58th street as possible, we still want a peek and aren’t afraid to admit it.  The battle of the socialgays continues…

Sir Spamalot

How much spam could a spammer spam if a spammer could spam you?  Dear Sir Spamalot, I did, but no longer need the following:

1. Cialis Tabs
2. Cialis Soft Tabs
3. Rx Meds
4. Cheap Rx Meds
5. Cheap Rx Meds from a Canadian Pharmacy
6. Viagra
7. OEM Software
8. AutoCad
9. Windows Vista (I’m fine with Windows XP, Vista is a bloated piece of crap)

So thank you, but no thank you.  And please tell your friends, Dixie Dobson, Brice Tabo, Dirk Hogan, Eliza Jenkins, that I’m not interested.

“Paparazzi will be present”

This is the tagline for Micah Jesse’s Birthday party invitation, obtained via our inbox, facebook, and god only knows where else.

 That’s right kids, the “little Hofstra that could” is taking the tristate area by storm.  And just where did this soon-to-be-21-year-old choose to host the best birthday bash ever?  HOME.  Hmmmm…sounds deliciously classy.  Wonder if Kenny Kenny will be manning the door and keeping the paparazzi in line.

From the invite:

Yup, that’s right. It’s my 21st…and I’m doing it up BIG!!! It’s My Super Sweet 21st!!!!!!!!
Family are flying in from Atlanta and friends are coming from near & far to celebrate this milestone in my life…obviouslyyyy
There will be an open bar courtesy of TRUMP VODKA available from 10:00-midnight… (midnight of july 18th is the best day of the year, btw)
ATTIRE: Old Hollywood … if you don’t know what to wear, I have 6 letters for you: G-O-O-G-L-E.

Everything You Need to Know: The Bowl (Mushroom) Cut

Why Our Country is Going to Hell in a Handbasket

A 300 pound man walks into a bar Dunkin Donuts.  He orders 2 sugar jellies, and a cup of coffee.  The 300 pound man walks out of the bar Dunkin Donuts with hundreds of extra calories that threaten his health. 

So I ask you this question:  If a bar can legally cut you off and stop serving you alcohol after you’ve had too much to drink, why don’t we impose a law whereby servers at fastfood establishments can cut people off if they’ve had too much to eat?

America’s scourge is obesity and it threatens the entire nation.
