Every August, Vogue celebrates their annual Age Issue. We applaud Vogue for recognizing a variety of women.. and we won't argue (especially with Ms. Wintour) that every woman is fabulous at every age... but we aren't all necessarily Vogue status and frankly, every age is kinda rough. More»
Anti-nightlife sentiment is at such a fever pitch that locals who once denounced the homogenization of the city are now saying "bring it on." A proposed Italian restaurant in Alphabet City has ignited opposition so fierce that neighbors are arguing for a 7-11 or, worse yet, an umpteenth bank branch in its place. More»
When some people think summer, they think blonde. Namely, blondes of the Pam Anderson variety, jiggling down a California beach in a fire engine red bathing suit. But this summer, red is taking center stage as gingers overthrow the towheads. More»
San Francisco is turning its last rough neighborhood into a tourist detraction. A spate of high-profile crimes and a surging murder rate has New York on edge. And ladies and gentlemen, Chinatown is burning. More»
We all remember those blurry photographs of Sean Penn and his shotgun surveying the damage down in New Orleans but most of us thought this was just Sean being Sean. It is nothing new for celebrities to use their name brands to aid natural disasters, however, the Haiti earthquake disaster marks a new trend where becoming a first-responder is the vogue. Not to name names, but right now it seems that every socialite and her brother are trying to jump a plane down to Haiti. More»
Manhattan Society's Chris London has a penchant for sending skillfully drafted emails to his massive list of acquaintances. I am not quite sure how or when I made it on "The List" but I am delighted I did. And today, a real gem came through. Titled "Johnny Knoxville Culture: A Society Of "Ringer's," Mr. London explains why we are no longer content to live in the moment...
"Bristol Palin’s unwed pregnancy is not so unusual these days, but her solution --marriage-- is."
So starts Rebecca Teti in her Faith & Family article posted yesterday "In Defense Of Marrying Young." The average age for marriage today is 25 for women and 27 for men, a far bit younger than the standards set forth on our fair island. But Teti argues that marrying young is far better and her points seem reasonable:
"The standard advice we give young people is to finish their education, get a good job and find themselves before taking the plunge of getting married. It sounds right, but here’s the catch. Psychologists tell us that character solidifies at about age 30. After that it becomes not impossible but vastly more difficult for the couple truly to knit themselves into unity.
Tatiana Platt's job, as founder of FameGame.com, consists of paying attention to, and documenting each and every move of the New York social set. However, she realizes realizes that there is more out there than this "page six-highschool-esque" world that we are living in. Hailing from D.C., the "Fame Dame" told the Observer today that, in D.C.:
“Small talk tends to be a little more highbrow, a little more intelligent,” she said of the scene in D.C. “You know, you’re talking about the latest thing that President Bush did or the latest kind of national policy issue.”
Why, WHY do this city’s MetroCard machines continue to break down? Particularly on days that my unlimited monthly pass expires and I have to walk 10 minutes to the nearest station, where the machine is also, serendipitously, non-functional--and then walk back to my original station? I always thought this kind of thing only happened to me because I’m forever cursed with bad transit luck- More»
I read "The Tipping Point" along with everyone else when it came out, ironically jumping on the bandwagon to read about ways people jump on bandwagons. Living in New York is like taking part in one giant socialogy project...in which you get to be, not only the moderator, but an actual object in the experiment. Essentially Emily steps into Barney's and wonder's who's behind the colors on the dresses which she will, no doubt be buying. This brings on a whole discussion after which, I am introduced, (via a commentor) to one of the most useful tools on the internet: Pantone.
"(It's)dictated by the industry. Want proof? Or how to get a jump on next season’s shopping? Go HERE, on the left hand navigation bar there’s a subtitle report and they have a free downloadable colour report for every season. Fall 08 was up eons ago, and I’m surprised they don’t already have spring/ summer 09 up yet…" -kmarie
