ROYAL WEDDING PHOTOCAP: Huzzah!

royal-wedding-06.jpg

I really had no intention of watching the Royal Wedding, let alone staying up into the wee hours of the night/morning for it, but as it turns out, I was already awake at 2 AM; so I decided to turn on the telly and watch it all unfold. It was pretty fun, but I must admit that when the sermon started, I fell asleep — only awakening a significant amount of time later as Prince William and his bride Kate Middleton were riding around on a carriage through London. Happy times all around.

Anyway, I officially have Royal Fever now, and as such, I’ve compiled a photocap of the wedding. Pictures after the jump… Continue reading “ROYAL WEDDING PHOTOCAP: Huzzah!”

Check Out the OXO Garlic Peeler (and Win A Free One While You’re At It!)

Garlic peeling can be pretty easy — just crush a clove under a knife and be done with it. However, if you’re peeling a bunch of cloves, after a while, everything starts to get sticky, paper gets everywhere, the process becomes kind of annoying. Imagine my excitement then when OXO sent me a garlic peeler for review. You can see me using it in the video above, but for a (slightly) more comprehensive take and to learn how you can win a FREE garlic peeler from OXO, follow the jump!

RuPaul’s Drag Race 3 may have just ended three days ago, but the producers are already looking forward to the next cycle.

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NYC PHOTOCAP: All Eyes On Ramona’s Runway Strut

HW-05.jpg

We couldn’t expect the latest installment of The Real Housewives of New York City to top the bonkers episode that preceded it, but that’s okay because these ladies are truly entertaining, even when they’re doing little more than getting their vajayjays waxed and lasered and generally attacked in the name of beauty. Everyone brings something to the table with perhaps the exception of Cindy, who has yet to make a notable impact on the show. So far she’s just sort of lingered around, offering up either lame neuroses (ie. issues with her nannies) or bland attitude (ie. her annoyance with Sonja during Ramona’s speech — off topic, drunk Sonja was hilarious). I get the sense that Cindy’s blasé behavior and over-it candor is supposed to provide a grain of salt to the craziness around her, but Bethenny she ain’t. In fact, this week’s episode was the first time all season that I did truly miss Ms. Frankel. Whereas Bethenny would crack a hilarious joke about the zany ladies around her, Cindy just looks left to right and says something uninspired like “I… I didn’t get it.”

Of course, Cindy is new to this all, and sometimes it can take a while for a newbie to make a name for herself. Let’s not forget that during her first season, Kelly Bensimon was just a quiet, pretty face for half the season until her epic blowout with Bethenny made her a villain like none other. There’s hope for Cindy yet!

YEEZY TAUGHT ME: The 10 Most Ridiculous Kanye West Quotes

My friends over at Socialite Life just took on a Herculean and possibly thankless task: whittling down all of Kanye West’s ridiculous quotes, Tweets, boasts, and proclamations into a scant list of the 10 Most Ridiculous Kanye-isms. Even if you don’t follow Kanye or care about him, it’s pretty amusing.

Check out the list here.

Drinking Around The World at Epcot

As promised, here’s a video of my friend Meeshie and I “drinking around the world” at Epcot. Highlights include belly dancing, fireworks, and an unexpected (for us) concert by Nelson. Hope you enjoy! (and yes, I know the video is long, but we had to go through eleven countries!)

Glimpses from Seaworld: Penguins Swimming

My family vacation continues. Today we went to Seaworld where among other things, we encountered many penguins. With family obligations and limited Internet access, it’s hard for me to keep up with the random pop culture gossip and news of the day, but if it’s any consolation, here is a video I took of penguins!

FLIGHT BLOG: B-Side Blog Is Heading To Orlando!

epcot_center_orlando_fl.jpg

Greetings from the friendly skies! I am currently flying through the clouds on American Airlines, and since I have nothing better to do, I figured I’d whip out the lap top and write a flight blog. I’m currently headed from NYC to Orlando, or as I like to call it, THE SEVENTH CIRCLE OF HELL ROUTE. Yes, this plane is chock full o’ kids — in the seats, in the aisles, and probably in the overhead compartments. It’s like I’m in an airborne rumpus room. It’s not that I hate kids; it’s just that I severely dislike being in their company. They’re like drunk people: rambunctious, loud, hard to control, and prone to inappropriate urination. And yet when kids do all those things it’s considered cute or “life.” Well, I suppose that’s fine, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it.

Luckily, there haven’t been any pools of liquid accumulating near me, and most of the children are so excited about Disney that they’re hardly shedding a tear, but still, I’m going a little batty. There were balloons at the terminal, people. BALLOONS AT THE TERMINAL.
