“I Mean…What?!?” – Abe Gurko

I am an avid black wearer. No matter what color is on trend, or whatever fashion editors say is the new black, I wear black. Last season I really started grooving on grey, and by the looks of things, grey is not only the new grey, but it becoming a major staple many people’s wardrobes, surely mine. Yesterday, Mensweek (WWD) did a Vegas preview of Fall ’11, much of which was grey. Fortunately two of the designers included in the piece were clients of mine, MNRKY and Scott James. These two upstart collections are trying to find their niche in… Read More »

One of New York’s mainstays on the social and nightlife landscape is the incomparable Patrick McMullan. He recently launched PMc Magazine, which will feature fashion, entertainment, parties, events, and well, all groovy things. I am happy to be part of this venture and will do whatever Patrick wants. Stay tuned. In the meanwhile if you are bored, please read my short interview. 1: Who am I? My name is Abe Gurko…though I go by Abe as in Cher…one name only. 2: What do you do and what project are you currently working on? I have a boutique PR and event… Read More »

Yesterday I reported on that which was yikes from the Spring Couture Collections in Paris. Here are a few more entries to round out my overview on what not to wear. First of all, Chanel was kind of boring. That said, a good editing was in order because 67 looks was not necessary. Besides that, the few other couture houses, and I use the term loosely, were simply bla. Not much else to say really because pictures say a thousand words.… Read More »

Carrie Fisher, who has battle demons far more terrifying than Darth Vader, is about to hack off a  bunch of L-Bs, proving that God loves her. I mean come on. She is brilliant, multi-talented and gets to secure her place in pop culture icon-hood by going to where no man…or woman has gone. Beyond Kirstie Alley. Funny enough, on the day Jenny Craig announced Carrie’s involvement as spokesmodel, Kirstie turned 60 years old. Coincidence? I don’t think so. Carrie has confronted many scenarios that would challenge anyone. She is a fighter and will soon enough be dancing all the way… Read More »

Last season I reviewed Jersey Shore and somehow this season’s review is eerily similar. Could it be because nothing has really changed besides their location? The Return to the Jersey Shore is actually a better title for season three. Do we even call them seasons? They are more like outings. Perhaps even a series of mini-series. Jersey Shore is like Roots without the class. In Thursday night’s season opener, we met an even tackier version of Snooki, her friend Deena. What can I say besides Jersey Shore is chock-full of cursing chubby people. OK, so The Situation has good abs,… Read More »

Look at these two yuckleheads and tell me what kind of skin pigment they have? Freakin’ tangerine peels? I am getting my LV trunks out and starting to pack since we have to listen to this clueless, usually-sobbing John Boehner for the next few years. Brian Williams asked Orange John in his first interview as House Speaker to name one thing that he would cut from the budget. ‘Cause we all know how fiscally prudent those Republicans are…starting with George Bush Jr…yikes. John Boehner’s response was, “I don’t have one off the top of my head.” Of course not you… Read More »

Though Oprah has never been married to Stedman Grant, they did just birth a baby. A baby network that is. Our reigning queen of television has just popped out The Oprah Winfrey Network, OWN, which sums up the whole deal. According to Oprah, Stedman named the new tyke. Considered by many as our Princess Di, Oprah, not content with that title alone, along with cornering every other form of media, wanted to do pull a Ted Turner by starting her own network. A network true to her belief system. For Ted, it was wanting to deliver world news all day,… Read More »

One of of things I like about myself is the ability to connect with women in a profound, honest way. Being raised by only women taught me to respect their point of view up front, be a good listener and share intimate personal details. This has allowed me to establish extremely intimate relationships…without that kind of intimacy…with some of the worlds most interesting women. This brings me unending joy. I have done several interviews with many of them through I Mean…What?!? and wanted to share the one with Mary Alice Stephenson because it is timeless, as is she. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HSUMf_xnlU Now,… Read More »

Sarah Palin‘s favorite Beatles song has to be Happiness Is A Warm Gun. This woman is so at home slaughtering animals, imagine how war mongery she would become if given the chance to be President of the United States. She would immediately be all guns blazing in Yemen. Yes, that place is a hot bed for terrorist, and who knows how to deal with those zealots. But surely, two zealots do not make a right. Or is it, two zelots from the right are all wrong? Sarah Palin is a Kim Jong-Il-type waiting to happen. An egomaniac coupled with Tea… Read More »

If you did not see Wishful Drinking starring Carrie Fisher when it was on Broadway, or in the many cities around the U.S.A., then do yourself a favor and catch it on HBO tonight at 9PM. It is gene. Watch this interview we did that illustrates just how hilarious she is. it is just a tip of the hilarious iceberg that is Wishful Drinking. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWcHMMzPa8M Directed by David McIntyre for Image Loading – http://imageloading.com… Read More »
