Interviews

Robbyne Kaamil
Comedian, Actress, and New Yorker Robbyne Kaamil is not afraid to sit you down and tell you how it REALLY is. She stars in her own one woman show Raw & Real which explores the worlds of politics, racism, relationships, and sex with her “raunchy, over the top, in-your-face demeanor” like no one else. More>>

Steve Lewis Round 2
Steve Lewis talks about visiting Michael Alig in Prison, leaving JoonBug,and how working at Blackbook Magazine is a little bit like “Playing at Yankee Stadium. More>>

Jill Zarin
Jill Zarin is not your typical “housewife” of NYC. Although she is one of the main cast members on Real Housewives of NYC, she’s first and foremost a mother, daughter, wife, friend and a successful businesswoman. More>>

Jules Kirby
Jules Kirby is not just your average jet-setting international socialite. Rather than dazzling the benefit circle, Jules is more likely to be found on the beach surfing or diving in exotic destinations ranging from Thailand to St. Barths. This spring she added to her list of accolades and opened a boutique, Jolika, in Belle-ile-en-Mer, France - an island off the coast of Normandy where she’s called home since March 2007. More>>

Todd English
Todd English along with the Thompson Hotel Group will open Libertine this fall in the Financial District. Following in the footsteps of his other long lasting restaurant at the W Hotel in Union Square, Olives, Todd E. will bring his creative flare to an area on the revival. Aside from being an accomplished chef and entrepreneur, Todd is one of those personalities that light up a room by sheer presence. Get ready for some good food and some good times at Libertine!!

Nestor Jazmani Dutan
Newbie to the fashion scene, Nestor Jazmani Dutan, we bump into him looking for new trends on a street in Brooklyn. He talks to us about fashion, taking risks, and why luck follows no one More>>

Joe Stallone
Sitting down with world-class faux finisher Joe Stallone in his apartment, fresh off his latest job, Robert De Niro’s new Greenwich Hotel. Joe’s work surrounded us as we sat and talked on his sofa, from the gorgeous faux doors and cabinets, to the Tondo he made on the wall in the style of the Renaissance greats. Though this Tondo used to be a hose, it now sparkles gold, flawlessly framing a giant painting of a nude. More>>

DJs Graham Funke and Stonerokk
DJ’s Graham Funke and StoneRokk – two DJ’s who became friends and have owned the music/party/club scene ever since. The boys are based out of LA but do events in New York and Las Vegas among others and StoneRokk AKA Michael Stone was born and raised in Queens. They have worked for Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Christina Aguilera and have a close friend in DJ AM. More>>

John Delucie
By now you’ve all read about that little restaurant in the west village with a tougher door policy than any nightclub this city has to offer. You know, the one with the famed truffled mac and cheese and a phone number that still doesn’t acknowledge the place as opened? You can imagine our excitement on getting the head chef to sit down and tell us his secrets… More>>

Jeff Goldstein
The young, the artsy, and the sartorially aware movers and shakers have learned to use Blue&Cream in East Hampton as their closet, stylist, and evening hangout par excellence. Curious as to the origins of this rather avant-garde collective, we hit up the store’s creator and owner Jeff Goldstein and got him to give us the 411 on juxtaposition, staying ahead of the curve, and why Charlotte Ronson is his muse: More>>

Richie Rich
Sometimes you need someone that reminds you to not take yourself too seriously, to play dress up even if no one else is playing along, to be less judgmental of people, and to let loose and engage in some good clean fun every now and then. Richie Rich has been that person for me. Don’t let the ex-club kid status fool you. This guy has accomplished more than most “average Joes” out there, creating an empire that extends far beyond the Heatherette clothing line. He is put-together, articulate, and extremely charming; perhaps the opposite of what many who have heard about him imagine him to be. More>>

Emily Giffin
She’s been called “A modern day Jane Austen.” and I like the comparison, as her heroines are becoming equally influential, (though I doubt her predecessor was as hip). Toting her addicting charisma, her radiant smile, and her new book, Love The One You’re With (which I finished in two days), Emily dishes out her real life tale… a best selling story in itself. More>>

Robert Verdi
For those of you that don’t immediately recognize him, Robert is a New York staple and fans love to stop him as he walks down the city streets. He is known for his TV work on “Full Frontal Fashion“, “Suprise by Design” and a little movie called, “The Devil Wears Prada“. Robert is also a well-known personal stylist for clients like Eva Longoria-Parker, Hugh Jackman and my personal comedic fave, Kathy Griffin. I asked Robert to dish at his Aveeno sponsored Luxe Lab party this week for the premiere of his new show “She’s Got the Look”. More>>

Jorge Elbrecht
Formed by former members of Lansing-Dreiden in autumn 2007, New York’s Violens derives its name from a combination of “violence” and “violins.” Jorge Elbrecht (vocals, guitar), Iddo Arad (vocals, synthesizer), Ben Brantley (bass), and Kris King (drums) became a local sensation after playing their first show in October 2007, with many fans comparing them to Philadelphia’s Lilys. (The band cites the Zombies, the Byrds, Wire, and the Violent Femmes among their influences.) More>>

Murder Mystery
Despite their status as relative newcomers to the New York music scene, Murder Mystery has been steadily gaining popularity since they first set up shop around Williamsburg. Equal parts in your face and irreverent, the band’s style has evolved along with its songwriting. More>>
