The Plum And Lucy Show (via NYTimes) →
“After that, she busied herself making everyone feel welcome, spraying the room with kisses and yelling ‘Toss my salad!’ every other minute. ‘Toss my salad’ translates, roughly, as ‘Cowabunga!’” Not going to lie, I read and enjoyed Bergdorf Blondes, but this vintage NYTimes profile of Plum Sykes (coupled with the SJP cover story she wrote for this...

Lately I have been playing a game whenever I shop at Forever 21 that I like to call Shirt or Dress? In it, I try on whatever jersey piece attracts my eye that day then stand in front of the dressing room mirror and try to decide if said jersey is indeed a short dress…or a long shirt. Sometimes I even switch it up and invite audience participation, though results from those rounds vary.

What, you mean Indiana Jones isn’t 100% accurate? Next thing you’re going to tell me is he’s a fictional character!

Fort Greene Studio (via Apartment Therapy) →
Inspiring, though if I lived there I’d probably have a broken arm from falling off of the bed…I’m a tosser and a turner.
You know how they throw candy at you and you get to eat it? They didn’t...
– My eleven-year-old brother, telling me about Keene’s Memorial Day Parade.
Today after work I ended up at a carnival in the far reaches of Queens because my coworker promised me free margaritas and rides. While it took almost an hour to get there from West 4th (E to Roosevelt, then the local for four stops), it took half that time to get home (R to the G at Court Square, which was waiting for me as I came down the stairs to the platform). This might be the first and/or...

Songs I signed up to sing at karaoke at Grand Saloon (23rd and 3rd): “Here You Come Again” (Dolly Parton) “Whatta Man” (Salt-N-Pepa) “I Can Love You Better” (Dixie Chicks) “Maybe This Time” (Cabaret) “Just a Girl” (No Doubt) Obviously I’m a rock star/Broadway geek trapped in a writer’s body. Barely.

And here I was thinking I was the only one who used -ILF terms on a regular basis. D(ad)ILF and P(rofessor)ILF seem to pop up in conversation a lot too…

Five things you should know about the new Indiana...
I can’t believe none of my friends (with the exception of Pete) were as excited for this as I was. SHAME.
1. It’s better than Temple of Doom (which I rank behind Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade, in that order).
2. Shia LaBeouf is surprisingly good. Karen Allen is not. Cate Blanchette, unsurprisingly, blows everybody else away.
3. Russian Communists are the new Nazis.

Tim Walker - Pictures →
Ugh ugh ugh WHY can’t this be in NY? It was only after reading the write-up both in this month’s British Vogue and on Style Bubble that I realized Tim Walker has been responsible for some of my favorite editorials in the past few years:
Lily Takes a Trip (British Vogue, July 2006, continued here) To the Ends of the Earth (British Vogue, August 2007, continued here) Soldier, Soldier,...
While walking up 6th Ave. to work today, I happened to fall behind a skinny, purple-haired woman who, since I’d been reading my Bloglines right before I left my apartment, reminded me of Australian blogger Gala Darling. And then I remembered that Gala Darling has been in the U.S. for the past few weeks and, after another glance, realized that, holy shit, it WAS Gala Darling! So of course I...

Saw the superheroes exhibit at the Met yesterday with Brianna and Katelind. Not as interesting, fashion-wise, as AngloMania but it’s worth it just to see the cotumes from Batman, Spiderman, Iron Man, X-Men, etc. So cool!
I also did an extremely overdue roundup of my favorite gowns from the gala here.

Me: Ugh, all I did yesterday was sit in bed, eat, and watch movies. I feel like Jabba the Hutt.
Brianna: But you look like Princess Leia.
