a dapper (and sometimes disgruntled) take on popular culture

Well, it hasn’t come to lay-offs yet, but they are having some buyout fun…check it out:
The San Francisco Chronicle will offer at least 125 employees the chance to take a buyout before the end of the year, the company said Friday.
“Obviously, we’re not the first newspaper to be affected by the continuing downturn in [...]

So if you read that again, it says was. Actually, I was just asked.

He didn’t [...]

Okay, I am kind of pissed off about tonight’s show. Plus, I am kind of tired so that’s probably why I am a little irritable.
This week was their “bring the beat” challenge, where the crews had to make “beats” to dance to. Kind of like “Stomp.”
Anyways, here’s my take for tonight. I’ll keep it [...]

Here are some supplemental pics from the 5th annual Fashion on the Square event this past weekend in San Francisco (they go along with this little piece I just wrote for Examiner.com)
All photos are by me of course…

I’m gonna work a little backwards here. First I am gonna show you [...]

I am not the club type person. The last time I intentionally went to a club because I really wanted to was when I was a drunken moron in college. Lately, I go to clubs, bars or lounges for special occasions such as a visit from an out of town guest, fashion show after party [...]

On Thursday, I attended the Third Annual Gala for Dress for Success in San Francisco. I went with my friend and AAU colleague Cheryl and we just basically gorged ourselves with all the free food.
But yes, I did some work. I interviewed Project Runway alum, Nick Verreos! He was unbelievably nice, funny and very chatty [...]

Okay, I’ve been watching America’s Best Dance Crew since it started and Mario Lopez just needs to stop with his comments. He just needs to host the show and keep his opinions to himself. He’s a HOST and nothing more.
Okay, that may be a little harsh. I haven’t had a cig in an hour.
Anyways, this [...]
