After trying to resist for the longest time, I finally caved. I am officially a fan of Gossip Girl. This totally went against my vow of not watching shows about rich kids and their annoying drama in their lives - but I didn’t realize that this show is so good. I thought it was going [...]

The other night after eating a garlic noodle/salt and pepper-infused dinner at PPQ, I was surrounded by my friends fiddling with their iPhones, Blackberries and all of that other techie cell phone jazz. I, on the other hand, was looking at my Nokia. It’s plain. It doesn’t have a camera and it dates back to [...]

What do you do when you’ve already had Sex and the City fashion icon Sarah Jessica Parker on Project Runway? Well, you work your way down the “four cosmopolitan women in Manhattan” food chain and ask Brooke Shields from Lipstick Jungle to be a guest judge.
Okay, okay – Brooke Shields’ style expands above and beyond [...]

So I just bought my plane ticket and registered for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York. And I don’t even know if I could afford all of it!
Well, lucky for me, I will not only be covering fashion week, but I will also be staying at the Hotel Le Bleu in Brooklyn and doing a [...]

I am still on my Beverly Hills 90210 kick and I am on the second season and I have stumbled upon so many good episodes including the Emily Valentine craziness (believe me, I’ll get to that later).
Anyways, I was watching the episode titled “Chuckie’s Back” where Steve has a run-in with his childhood nemesis (and [...]

Thank God we were spared the third-person torture of the blue-hawked Suede. Instead we were subject to the incessant tanning talk from Blayne, Kenley’s irritating school girl giggling and a pair of skorts courtesy of Joe.
This week, the designers were introduced to speed skating Olympiad turned “Dancing with the Stars” hunk, Apolo Anton Ohno and [...]

Last night, I had a really profound conversation with my friend Marques about politics (via AIM). This is how it went down:
Me: oh did u see this:
Marques: OMG
Me: I
Me: KNOW
Marques: Wait, I heard about them making this
Me: YES
Me: it comes out this fall
Me: with thandie newton playing cunnilingus rice
Me: too soon
Marques: I will sleep [...]

This is so wrong. A couple of weeks ago, my friend Jen sent and article I wrote years ago when I worked for The Battalion at Texas A&M University titled, “Fall Fashion: What’s HOT & What’s NOT”.
Yes, I went to one of the most conservative universities in the nation and no, I don’t know [...]

Dino-Ray watched Project Runway last night. Dino-Ray has yet to be 100 percent entertained by this season’s batch of designers. Dino-Ray is already tired of hearing Suede talk about himself in the third person. Dino-Ray is about to write his take on last night’s show.
Last night our designers went out into the urban jungle of [...]
