GadgetLust: The WalkStation

Ever since I read about Jason Calacanis and his fatblogging adventures, and his homemade workstation with a treadmill underneath, I have had an increasing lust for one of these – I think they are a BRILLIANT idea.  I am SO sedentary.  I sit here all day and type.  Yeah, I get up to take care [...]




New York Times Scathing Article on “The Rachel Zoe Project”

I know if I watch this show, I’m going to have some form of empathy for the chupacabra known as Rachel Zoe.  She has been bashed from every possible angle by the media for the last couple of years, being called everything from a meth peddler to, well, a chupacabra.  That’s tough.  So The [...]

Betsey Johnson Spring 09 Fashion Week

After having the AMAZING opportunity to meet my favorite designers, Heatherette, earlier in the year, my one wish in the fashion world would be to meet Betsey Johnson.  Can you tell Im a child of the 80’s?   I have been such a huge fan for so long.  And here is why:

I Am Apey Over the HP/Vivienne Tam Clutch!

Really, apey.  Look at it – just look!

This HP laptop disguised as a totally fashionable clutch debuted at the Vivienne Tam show at the Spring 09 NY Fashion Week.  No word yet on price or more important, specs.  HP says it will be released at the first of the year.  Will definitely keep you [...]




50 Uses for Vaseline

This is one of my favorite products from Vaseline, their Vitalizing Gel Body Oil. I keep it by the tub, and use it on my wet body before I dry off. It leaves you totally smooth and very nice and moisturized without being greasy (after a very few minutes anyway). They are not expensive, and [...]
