Heading to Grand Central metro station yesterday, I walked past a hole-in-the-wall theatre where an afroed sista was handing out flyers. We realized we had some friends in common, Hanifah and Olive (of black-queer-womyn-artist-living-in-Brooklyn fame). I knew this chick was down, so I had to support. chashama, a non-profit theater based at 217 East 42^nd (btw. 2^nd and 3^rd Avenues) is holding its first ever film festival. More»

Alexander Wang’s Uniqlo line is out today. I’ve been excited about this line because it’s probably the only chance I’ll have to say, “My dress? Oh, it’s an Alexander Wang.” (Most likely I’ll offer this information regardless of whether I’m asked or not.) While his ready to wear dresses are normally around $650, the Uniqlo line ranges from around $49.50-$69.50.

Princeton Reunions bring a lot of old preppy dudes and some gals into Princeton for the annual alumni weekend of tents, picnics, banter, beer, beer, and more beer.

Our spy on the scene out in Jersey caught a couple of guys who have already started the celebrating in style. HOT!

Yesterday, I journeyed to Soho and went to Moss for the first time. Needless to say, the store put me in sensory overload. The two-floor gallery-esque store has an incredible amount of custom designed furniture and amenities, all done up in an unconventionally funky and intricate fashion. Some of the pieces are just absolutely incredible, ranging from 900 pound intimidating solid boudoirs to a set of plates with various facial expressions on them.

Well today marks the official opening of SATC around the country and people are REALLY getting into it. Many are discussing the appeal the movie will have among the male demographic. While some think that most men don’t care enough about the show/characters/movie to purchase their $12 ticket, the men in my life make me think twice. These men are the Stanfords, Skippers, and Mr. Bigs of this world, who relate to the male characters, those characters’ experiences with our favorite females, and the urban environs they all enjoy. There are also men, like some fathers we know, who are see the women in their lives in the SATCfemales – and secretly enjoy a cosmo at home every now and then.

Yesterday, all I ate was sandwiches...You may think that sounds repetitive, a bit lackluster for the palate, but the sandwiches I ate were as different as night and day. Lunch on the job was a hurried, pre-made, cold little thing at CafeMetro, clocking in at over $7. Don't get me wrong, I admire CafeMetro and the other "deli/luncheonette" type joints, catering to the suit-wearing, blackberry-carrying slew of midtown robots. Though, my sandwich was tasty equipped with the tiniest morsel of avocado (how I love them so!) and turkey (can I even call it turkey? it was more like turkey essence) it lacked the love of a human touch and at that price I feel like I should be full...Which brings me to dinner:

Bob Bland, the founder of Brooklyn Royalty hosted The Brooklyn Royalty Video Lookbook party at 3rd Ward last night.The video was upbeat, well edited, and full of sick outfits ...not to mention beautiful models.

Last night we went to the chic fun and funky House of Campari at 54 Crosby Street to check out Defining a Moment: 25 New York Artists – an exhibit sponsored by the Campari Contemporary Art Program. Last night was opening night hosted by Paper Magazine and the Guggenheim’s Young Collectors Council with a special (and butt kicking) performance by the XYZ Affair. As you might have guessed, Campari WAS served at this event.

Its one thing to toast to an artist’s success with a glass of Campari, but it’s even better when you realize Campari is responsible for fostering the success of that artist through one of their various platforms to help emerging artists.

Last night I had the opportunity to relive my undergrad years with dinner at one of the many fine Indian establishments on 6th and Second. It’s not that I went to college anywhere near Curry Row, or India, or anyplace even remotely resembling either. It’s just that nothing brings me back to undergrad more than economy travel to far off places; and that experiential simulation is exactly what Curry Row has to offer. In addition to feeling scrappy, young, adventurous and Bohemian, the small strip of Manhattan boasts three courses of slammin’ Indian food for $8.95 ($4.95 for lunch), often with live sarangi and tablas to boot.

I missed Patricia Field's party Wednesday night because I was over at Fingerpaint, and was a little bit bummed. After seeing this picture on Jezebel last night, I am even more upset. For some reason, which no one has yet been able to figure out (including myself), I have a strange fascination with the club kids...in particular, with Kenny Kenny. And girl was WORKING that door on Bowery last night! So, in fitting with Kenny Kenny making news this week, I will NOW (probably retardedly so), present you with my rendition of Kenny Kenny for Halloween this year:

I, for one, am loving the time warp back to the "90s. As I stated months ago, the 1990s are making a fierce comeback, and not just in the fashion world...even our billboards are screaming "Bring back the "90s! Bring back the "90s!" Remember Rush Limbaugh? Well, his show only lasted for four years (1992-1996), but has been living on since then behind the relevant billboards above the Toys "R Us store in Times Square. And, apparently the last couple of days, these Limbaugh ads have gotten another chance to shine in the sun.

Thank you to Curbed for pointing us to "90s billboard glory.

On one of my first days as an intern, I wandered to Spring St. away from our lovely office to go grab some lunch. So, I walk into what I assumed to be a sushi restaurant, Rice to Riches, and was surprised to see an entire store full of rice pudding! There were over 20 different flavors! What an obscure dessert to have 20 flavors of, right? I thought, "only in New York." Long story short, I went back and told my other fellow intern and all she could do was gush about how good it was. So my mission this weekend is to try it out. But really? A store dedicated to rice pudding? I'm still a little skeptic. I guess we'll see!
