Behold Meghan Asha's new company: [Mata Harai]

24. Kathy Griffin was interning over at Gawker today. She was really loud. [Gawker]

25. My friend Neel Shah wrote a piece on The Awl today about how to split a check at a restaurant. Apparently it didn't go over well: Via Neel's FB wall: "Wrote something for The Awl today. Was inadvertently branded a misogynist by commenters (on "International Women's Day" no less) over a throwaway joke (THAT I STILL STAND BY). SORRY LADIES."

26. Moleskin is launching a new product line by Giulio Iacchetti that's inspired by "the contemporary nomad."

We made $2,127 in 2010. (That's $2,127. Not $2,127,000. Or $2,127,000,000. Sadly.) But you know what? Making $2,127 feels about 2,127 times as good as losing money. [BI]

32. Leaving you with a look inside the Chanel Fashion Show that went on today in Paris. It was a smoking hot runway, literally! [Midnight-charm]
