This music video makes me want to go bad...

I'm sorry but Leighton Meester is running the show these days. Not many girls can pull off Upper East Side Prep and Hipster Hottie at the same time, trust me...I've tried. She is a great entertainer and actually has some musical talent. This music video makes me want to toss away my Lilly Dress, throw on a blazer and stumble into a speakeasy. Did someone say PDT tonight?

The Ugly Truth...is it true?

Last Friday, Lauren Nutt and I attended an advanced screening of "The Ugly Truth." The movie was hilarious and a bit " OMG, did they really just say that." While watching the movie, I started thinking about myself in terms of dating. The character played by Gerard Butler explains that a woman must be a mix of "sinner and saint." That the trashy girl in the bar may get a guys attention, but he will never keep her around. However, the sweet girl that cooks for Grandma must also be comfortable with herself and adventurous enough to try new things. Then, like all chick flicks... the lesson ends in the result of the teacher loving the student for who she really is ( can somebody say "he's just not that into you".) Yet, I think there is an important lesson here. You should always "date" the person you're seeing. Yes, wearing comfy cozies on the couch and watching Jeopardy is allowed, but you can also still hit the treadmill and apply some make-up when going out for drinks. Fellas...this rule applies to you as well. You may have gone on 4 dates in one week, but bringing a girl breakfast in bed never killed anyone.

How the other side of the world lives...

I just watched this ad on how the other side of the world has to think...

You should check it out here. Makes you appreciate what you have.

In a New York Minute

In New York it seems like you can get anything to go. While walking back to work after lunch I came across a cupcake bus. I know the Halal stands and where I can grab a quick hot dog, but this threw me off. A sucker for sweets, I grabbed a red velvet cupcake and went on my merry way. Find out where the truck is here.

Long day at the office

I had to pass these along because these commercials are HILARIOUS. Feeling discouraged at work, then watch one of these videos. They really know what they are doing at Venables Bell & Partners.

Summer Accessory Must....Nails!

As nail polish has evolved over time, from being a saucy accessory that only bad girls dared to wear, to becoming staple in even the most conservative social circles, women have experimented with some crazy color combinations.  Gone are the days of the simple French manicure and demure pinks and neutrals: today’s trends scream “look at me!”

A fresh manicure and pedicure is an absolute must before stepping out to party here in the Big Apple.  Summer’s hottest trends are being spotted everywhere on celebrities, socialites, and on the New York City girl walking down the street.

Check out recent fashion mags to find your perfect summer shade before you head in for your next appointment!

RIP Myspace..funny, funny, funny...

Eulogy for MySpace

We are gathered here together to mourn the loss of our dear friend and family member, MySpace. MySpace is survived by her beloved husband Tom, and their 143, 286 million children.

It is good to see so many of MySpace's children here today. Goth Girl, Hip Hop Artist, Guy in Sun Glasses and a Popped Collar, Two Girls Making Out, and Guy With No Shirt. Thank you for coming.

I first met MySpace five years ago through a friend. She was great. We listened to music, we read to each other, and we passed the time when I was supposed to be doing actual work. She helped me catch up with old friends, and meet new, sluttier friends.

Myspace was kind and forgiving, and didn't judge me when I told her I liked Maroon 5.I thought those days would last forever, like the ads for some dating site where it looks like a webcam of a hot chick checking me out. But she started falling in with the wrong crowd. Before I knew it, all her friends had become pornographers and con-artists, and worse, Rupert Murdoch.

I could barely talk to her without her telling me about Fox's newest buddy cop film or what Lindsay Lohann may or may not have said. Most times I visited, she was blasting terrible music or trying to sell me a giftcard to Victoria's Secret.

After a while I didn't even recognize her - and not just because she was covered in tacky HTML and glittery cursors like some two-dollar whore. Even Tom wasn't really around much anymore. Let's remember the good times. And I mean really remember, not the way that MySpace would tell you to click "remember me" and then not remember you next time you signed on. Remember how hilarious it was to see everyone over 30 years old list themselves as 99.

Remember getting to interact with not only your favorite celebrity, but with 14 other people pretending to be your favorite celebrity. Remember how entertaining it was to listen to your friend's favorite song EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU LOADED THEIR PAGE. And remember the lessons she taught us. Remember that just because you have three kids at home doesn't mean you can't show strangers what you look like bent over a couch. Remember that teenage outcasts can pretend to have names like "Illusion of Chaos," while their real name is Sheldon. And remember that every fat girl has at least one picture of herself taken at precisely the right angle.

I'm going to miss you, MySpace. How else will I get girls I don't know to come to shows, and then maybe sleep with me after? I mean, I could just search by zip code. And they were all so mad at their dads.We're going to miss you, MySpace. But we will be comforted to know that you're in a better place now. With Friendster.
