I like how you can add “-pocalypse” to anything and it becomes a revelatory Armageddon-like crisis. For example, remember when there were heaps of snow on the East Coast in February and they called it “Snowpocalypse”? That was kind of cool — but not as cool as the term, “douchepocalypse” which I think originated from [...]

After reading ‘The Bedwetter’ by Sarah Silverman (it was OK), I was craving something a little bit more…filthy — in a good way of course.
Enter ‘Role Models’ by John Waters, a book where he talks about all of his role models and how they had an impact on his life. From Leslie Van Houten (of [...]

On the first evening of WonderCon, I was invited to watch the premiere of the trailer for latest 3-D eyegasm known as Resident Evil: Afterlife at the Metreon. The theater was full of viciously [...]

I tend to take random pictures on my Blackberry and never know what the hell to do with them. Then it donned on me, “Why don’t I just post them on my blog as enjoyable filler?”

It’s not often that we get sample sales here in San Francisco. And that is really unfortunate. Very unfortunate. Very, very, very unfortunate. Unfair even.
My bitterness aside, you better hop on this Rebecca Minkoff sample sale. The handbag designer will have items on sale at 111 Minna Gallery, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday [...]
