a dapper (and sometimes disgruntled) take on popular culture

On Monday, I interviewed Tim Gunn at Macy’s in San Francisco – it was way calmer than when I did the whole Paris Hilton event.

Tuesday: Screening of “Milk” (Please, go see this movie. It is one of the best this year – and it was shot in SF!). Wrote. In the evening, [...]
I get a lot of spam comments in my blog. I usually just delete them, but sometimes, there are some that catch my eye and they are so special that I just need to share them with the world. Like this one:

First off, let me just mention that Mondays are my busiest days. I wake up around 5 or 6 to go the gym, get back and then prepare for my long day of teaching and writing in the city – but that’s hard to do when someone [...]

I have been watching…
My 90210 obsession is alive and well. I have managed to watch seasons two and three of this show in the past two and a half weeks! Sometimes it pays to be unemployed.
Anyways, these two seasons are PACKED with the greatest shows this series have to offer: Brenda and Donna go [...]

And today, I got this email:

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”.
