Buy Or Don’t Buy

Now, in no way, shape or form am I the epitome of fashion. But, this is Buy or Don’t Buy! You don’t need to understand or be an expert to pass judgment.
Apparently, two-toned lips are all the rage in, where else but, France.

I like color. In fact, I am taking a class this semester on [...]

Come to Fabulous New York City, where even our bums have Ivy League educations!
Hail a taxi cab driven by a former banker who used to pull six figures a year.  Now he’s pulling his lunch cooler off the front seat so that your little brother has a place to sit.  Shoulda waited for a minivan [...]

 Now, the usual rule of thumb is that winter is an excuse to be ugly. Especially in the past few days, it’s bitterly cold, it’s windy and no one sees you under bundles and bundles of clothes. So, girls, only feel a little guilty about adorning Ugg boots; and boys, hat hair is acceptable. Unfortunate [...]

I know it seems sort of counter-intuitive for a blog to start advocating that you turn off your computer, rub your tired eyes, and step out into the daylight.  But it’s not like we have any advertising to sell you, so I really don’t care!  
Get the fuck outside.  Take in some vitamin D (via [...]

Movies can become games. But games can not become movies.
What am I on about now? Candy Land. The Movie. Huh?
Universal Pictures is sweet on “Candy Land.”
Ughh! That’s awful!
First Hasbro ruined my childhood memories of this game by changing the look and design of it. And now, this! A undeniable horrible family-friendly film. Now, I’m not [...]

Hey guys, you know MacGruber, right? The intermittently-funny recurring sketch on Saturday Night Live where Will Forte plays an incompetent version of MacGyver?

Wouldn’t those be great to turn into ads? Like, if the reason MacGruber was so incompetent was because he liked this one product so much! You could write that, make Will Forte be [...]

I really thought New York has become a haven of cleanliness and safety. Only a few months ago, I thought the subways would become amusement parks! But I was wrong, oh so wrong. Besides Brooklyn reverting to it’s 1970-1980’s alter-ego, Crooklyn, the subways are also losing their safe appeal (if there ever was one).
Now, it’s [...]

In the interest of full-disclosure, I was recently laid off as an editor/blogger at a start-up. On one very surreal Friday the boss-fellow called a meeting and told the majority of the staff (yours truly included) that due to the economic apocalypse, our time at the company was over.
And after a resume-revamping weekend (where it [...]

Yeah, I’m sure he’s a great guy. Yeah, I was endeared by the Oliver Stone biopic movie ‘W’. But remember way back in like 2003 when most of the civilized world wanted this man’s head on a platter? Sure, five or six years is enough to chill some people out. Forgiveness [...]

Sometimes I think things just happen to amuse me. For example, Joaquin Phoenix.
We all remember how he quit acting. His reasoning was to pursue a music career. Amusement factor: a low 4/10. What was this music career going to be? Would it be like Johnny Depp and focus on an instrument? Or maybe be more [...]
