“I Mean…What?!?” – Abe Gurko

If you were to design a boob lamp, wouldn’t you create a perkier set of these to flank your walls?… Read More »

When I realized it was Kim Kardashian’s birthday October 21, the same day that we were celebrating Carrie Fisher’s, all who were at the dinner decided that this was Carrie’s new claim to fame. Star Wars, Postcards, Wishful… pshaw. Ahh, but to share this important day with someone that President Barack Obama has issues with, now that’s an accomplishment. Happy Birthday m’love. And may the force be with Kim, too. video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo player… Read More »

Animal prints are the new fatigues. There’s a war on. Several actually. But as of yesterday, the newest, scariest war kicked into high gear with a statement from the White House that sent shivers down my spine.  In an interview with iVillage, Michelle Obama rambled this quote when asked what television shows Sasha and Malia watch. “Barack really thinks some of the Kardashian – when they watch that stuff – he doesn’t like that as much,” she said, “but I sort of feel like if we’re talking about it, and I’m more concerned with how they take it in –… Read More »

Just when you thought things could not get any more downmarket comes news of an upstart eatery chain hell bent on taking down that boob emporium Hooters. I wish I was kidding. Presenting Canz-a-Citi Roadhouse, where culinary delights and standards are nowhere to be found. Let’s start by checking out the waitress staff. These tasteful uniforms suggest broads that you would otherwise find hanging out in the bleachers at a NASCAR race. As a fervent supporter of women’s rights, I don’t think you need me to chime in on whether or not Canz-a-Citi Roadhouse makes women objects of desire, since… Read More »

Know it all, Eric Cantor, refers to Occupy Wall Street as a mob. Both Cantor and Glenn Beck are trying to demonize the conscientious people who are doing their best to draw attention to the disparity between Wall Street and Main Street and what is not working in our political and financial systems. Cantor, who looks like a Log Cabin Banana Republican Queen, has become one of the biggest troublemakers on the political landscape. Now, Eric has hit an all time low as he and blabbermouth Glenn Beck sound like lovers. Beck yesterday warned his radio heads that the Occupy… Read More »

Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream wants to acknowledge their support for Occupy Wall Street with a new flavor called Choc-u-pie Wall Street. Now unless they are planning to donate 100% of the sales of that flavor to the cause, then they can take their Earth shoe wearing good intentions and shove off.… Read More »

We are a mournful bunch. We sob uncontrollably at certain people’s deaths with true conviction. Each death, be it a mogul or a celebrity or a nobody for that matter, is a sad day indeed, especially for those left behind. But in light of some of the recent nationwide mourning-fests, I wanted to stop, pause and mourn the mourning. When Steve Jobs died this week, and the outpouring of sadness began pouring onto Facebook, my immediate reaction was, “Yes he was a visionary, only too bad he didn’t make a commitment to the United States and keep as much production… Read More »

I have avoided watching Dancing With The Stars since the show first aired. Having given it a try, I knew that Lawrence Welk and Ed Sullivan had nothing on Tom Bergeron. It seemed that whoever created the show was stuck in a time when family entertainment was so corny that it made your teeth hurt. All the stars, and I use the term loosely here, were desperate enough to do whatever the producers asked them to do, most noticeably, wearing clothes that Gypsy Rose Lee wouldn’t be caught dead in. Last night, as a social experiment, a group of us… Read More »

While the Milanese designers have been burning up the runways featuring loud bursts of color and floral prints that make New York’s print war seem as though we have surrendered, Mexico has been hosting their own “Little Mercedes Benz Fashion Week That Could”. By the looks of things, we can safely say that Mexico’s greatest export will remain marijuana for years to come. Well, designer goods surely ain’t it. Several years ago, I met with the IMG when they were first planning to roll out regional fashion weeks across the globe. Now, with a fashion show in every shtetl on… Read More »

Missoni has taken over the airwaves. The overwhelming marketing of the Missoni-Target collection has made me dizzy, perhaps optical illusions and fashion should not go hand in hand. This weekend at a friends house, I used the Missoni (collection) bath towels, which did not dry my hands. The paper thin towels moved the water droplets around but did not fully absorb. Granted, the stripes and colors were fun to look at, but if a towel does not act like a towel then I take issue. The Spring ’12 collection went down the Milan runway and from the looks of things,… Read More »
