These Are The Days Of Our Lifecasts….
[Adrien Field meticulously applying his mascara] While our moms had “Days of our Lives” on their boob tubes to help get them through their monotony, our generation, raised largely online, has a new form of addiction. It’s called www.lookatme.com, and for many it’s become an outlet to showcase their every waking movement for everyone to follow. The official name for this genre of drama documentarians has yet to be pinned down, with possibilities ranging from live journaling, to blogging, to tumbling, to tweeting, to ‘lifecasting”….it’s all the same. And, as Kurt Vonnegut would say, we shouldn’t be embarrassed that we are drawn to these characters. Humans have always loved drama, after all…. More »

Where In The World Is Emily Brill? a. The Hamptons b. Bedford c. Mediaite d. Devorah’s Closet

I’ll admit, I totally forgot about Emily Brill. It makes me think I have too much on my plate. Because, let’s face it, Ms. Brill was what kept our office alive during those slow news days last summer. 2pm would roll around, and just when we were ready to plop our heads down for a nap, Emily would post a video belting out a song from Disney on I-27, Devorah Rose by her side, and Princess Buttercup hanging out the window, happier than Adrien Field the day he met Mary Rambin.

Emily “The Eldridge” Brill Resurfaces On Amazon!
“Dr. Aronne’s care and advice changed my life, and I’m forever grateful.” —Emily Brill
What a glorious day this has turned out to be. After months spent missing our beloved Brill and her daily dose of UES ramblings, she resurfaces, on an Amazon.com discussion page no less! (Check out the third review). After reading all about the new and improved Harvey Weinstein on Cityfile today and his secret: Dr. Louis Aronne’s new diet book The Skinny (which he claims “is the most informative and intelligent approach to understanding weight loss and gain.” ) We had to go check it out for ourselves.

Emily “The Eldridge” Brill R.I.P., Fo Realz This Time!
Say it ain’t so! February 2nd, 2009 will from now on, not be known as Steve Lewis or Nick Cohen’s day of birth, but will be forever the day that Emily “The Eldridge” Brill officially ended her website’s run. We are without words.
For those of you capable, go HERE for all of our best times with Emily Brill. As for us, it’s too painful to look through at this time…. No word yet on if we will start up the hotline again.

New York City VIPs Get Front Row Seats For The Inauguration
[Joe Biden, Julia Allison, and President Barack Obama]
Is there an event or party that these New Yorkers can’t get into? Apparently not, since while we were watching Tuesday’s festivities on our television they ditched NYC’s Inaugural soirees to hang out with the country’s favorite V.I.P. Julia Allison kicked it with Malia and Sasha, Kristian Laliberte and Devorah Rose had front row seats for the big speech, while Emily Brill and our best friend DBTH left Park City in time to join the millions in D.C. Even our very own Stanley Stuyvesant wagged his tail all the way to Washington to give a big woof to our new Pres.

Emily Brill Explains Her PR Team, And Her Site’s Revenue (Or Lack Thereof)
In response to yesterday’s blogalite piece, more specifically our assertion that Emily Brill has a fulltime PR publicist and web team, Brill wrote in to set the record straight, and refute previous blog reports here (NYmag), and here (Gawker). It turns out she has instead a “media strategist”. She even manages to throw a barb at Gawker overlord Nick Denton!
“I’d like to set the record straight. I’ve never hired a ‘publicist.’ About a year ago, some pictures of me in a bikini on a private family trip were posted on the Internet. I got a scared, and not knowing what to do (especially when reporters started calling my cell phone from unknown numbers late at night and casting directors started asking me to come in and answer questions about my life…on camera), I decided to hire a media strategist to manage the attention I was GETTING and advise me (my dad wasn’t up for the task).

Are Blogalites The New Socialites?
[Blogalites: Micah Jesse, Emily Brill, trio Meghan Asha, Julia Allison, Mary Rambin]
Well not exactly. While you will see them out and about town, generally speaking they won’t be wearing the large over-the-top gowns (but perhaps costumes), and they spend more time behind computer screens than lunching or behind flash bulbs. Enter the next generation of “socialites” or “blogalites” as we’ve decided to coin them. Whether a paradigm shift as a result of the falling economy, or a new tech-savy bread, these stripped down Gawker-described fameball microcelebs are taking a post-human approach and have been furiously creating blog appendages to their current selves over the past year.
Some seek fame, some seek fortune or more specifically “fuck you money”, and for some it’s simply unclear what their motivations are. More »

Emily “The Eldridge” Brill Signs Up For Online Dating
I hope you didn’t think that we started forgetting about our friend Emily “The Eldridge” Brill. It’s been great having her back in blogland and, writing somewhat coherent posts even! One of her latest; “Online Dating 212/2009“ I’m still not sure what 212 means (something to do with the NYC area codes?), but I can’t WAIT to hear about Emily’s online dating adventures!
JDate seems to be her website of choice…

A Falling Star (Micah Jesse) Is Reborn?
Once a flash in the pan so bright, we could hardly take our eyes off the most aggressive eyebrow in the partybiz, Micah Jesse. This shooting Hofstra star has aimed to reverse his descent and ascend upward in graceful parabolic motion. A fixture at Chelsea juants like Marquee, Home, and Guesthouse, it was not until Micah’s catfight with Kristian Laliberte that he was thrown onto the pages of the NYC blogosphere and achieved fameball status.
In 2008 other blogalite fameballs like Emily Brill have stolen some of his thunder. But Micah is going to go out swinging (if he goes out at all). And he has prescribed just what the doctor ordered, a relaunch party for his blog. So what’s the attire for the affair? Amazingness of course!
Fabulous details after the jump… More »

Happy Holidays! From Nonsociety, Brill Still MIA
Happy Holidays! From Julia, Meghan, and Mary over at Nonsociety. You’ve got to hand it to these three, they look pretty darn festive. And, staring at all of their holiday posts make me wonder where the heck Emily “The Eldridge” Brill has been these days.
She’s all but dropped off the face of the planet inter web. If I didn’t know any better, I would say that she is out of the city at the homestead spending quality time with her family, though seeing as I have seen her out and about numerous times over the last couple of weeks, I know that this isn’t the case.

Happy Birthday Emily “The Eldridge” Brill! A Year In The Life Of A Budding Blogalite
Yes it’s a wonderful day in Gotham. Emily Brill will be celebrating another year on planet earth, and what a BRILLiant year it was! This brand new 26 year-old budding blogalite has been blogging up an Essential storm on the interweb over at essentiallyemily this past year and there’s had no shortage of drama. Here are some highlights for your to enjoy. Let’s Rock!
- Loyal readers will remember how the Brillmeister’s late night escapades at the Eldridge, namely waiting outside for 40 minutes, gave birth to her nickname “The Eldridge”, and her subsequent decision to stay above 14th street. Emily shot back saying her entrance to the Eldridge was merely a slight delay.
- In September Page Six took a shotgun to her and managed to coax the “Grande Dame” Emma Snowdon-Jones into taking multiple “anonymous” snipes. Being quite the lady, Emily decided naturally not to unmask Emma, instead opting to post a detailed profile of Emma with everything short of her name. So we felt a little sorry for her and decided to lend a helping hand by unmasking Emma Snowdon-Jones ourselves.
