REAL HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: Fashionable Offenses

If you didn’t catch last week’s episode of Real Housewives of New York City, you are truly missing out. I watched it twice (once with the parents — a saga unto itself, and once drunkenly with my friends — including Neil and Meeshie). I can assure you that it stands the test of time and …

Great Moments In Failed Flirtations

Last night my friend Meeshie sent me an email directing me to the Facebook fan page for Dave Ball, the Survivor: Samoa contestant who we last saw bearing his chest for one lucky lady. Why? Well, it looks like Dave tried to flirt with one fan, but.. well… take a look at the following exchange: …

Tim Gunn Says Hello to B-Side Blog, Sort Of

Last week during Fashion Week in NYC, my friend Meeshie managed to find herself in an exclusive little party with none other than Tim Gunn, the lovable and articulate sartorial guru from Project Runway.

It’s been quite frustrating for all parties involved. Well, this past weekend, whilst summering in sunny (yes, sunny) Seattle, my friend …

On Tour With The Top Chef Stars!

Late last week, when I heard that Top Chef superstar Fabio Viviani would be in the neighborhood doing a cooking demonstration for something called Top Chef: The Tour, I knew I had to find a way to see it. The event was booked up, but thanks to the good people at Bravo, they found a …

ADVENTURES IN FOLKSY AUTUMNAL ACTIVITIES: Bloggers of the Corn Edition

If this blog seemed particularly quiet on Friday, it’s because I spent half that day getting in touch with my inner farmer.
