Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh… Barbra Streisand.
“[Duck Sauce] joyously mashes classic disco house with forward-thinking dancefloor energy and expert production. A-Trak and AVH are bona fide DJ heroes whose team-ups are fueled by anything-goes samples, an almost childlike sense of fun, and 100% NYC attitude.”
Thanks to Ru for sending this to me!
Is Raul Melgoza, the new Valentino? Oh no, you did not just say that Narry.
New York Fashion Week – it has been a dream for many years. Probably because Mamas taught me to appreciate the texture and flow of fabrics, and that we used to watch runway shows every week. Oh, please! Long before ‘Fashion TV’.
Mamas used to love Michael Kors, Valentino and Karl. I still love Karl, he feels like family.
Luca Luca’s Spring 2011 Ready-To-Wear Collection at New York Fashion Week reminds me of Mamas and I can hear her comments when I look at every single piece.
Oh, I love my Mamas and the classic runways.

“Shot high above the streets of New York City, Up There reveals the dying craft of large-scale hand painted advertising and the untold story of the painters struggling to keep it alive.”
It makes me sad to know that this is a “dying art form”. There is so much precision and hard work that goes into this, not to mention the passion these painters have.
One day, will it all be gone? Hope not.
Happy, happy! There aren’t many things that make me happier than this view.
When you turn around and look straight ahead and kinda to your right (at night) you will see this very bright spot between all the other tall buildings. What is that? Times Square of course.
Ohhh, I love this city too much.
More amazingly beautiful photos by Jason Hawkes.
My blender and I discovered a Chocolate-Coffee-Banana Milkshake and at the same time I came across the Coney Island Line by Uhuru. It really is a great evening of some pretty amazing discoveries.
Wait, Coney Island Line? Yeah, that place with the rides. You know, you have seen it in the movies a few times and if you were lucky enough you might have even been there and screamed while on The Cyclone.
Uhuru has Coney Island furniture! The Cyclone Lounger has to be my favorite, but there are many pieces to choose from.
Boardwalk Console – The reclaimed wood surface of our console echoes the inlaid pattern of the original boardwalk, as seen from above. The play of scale however, from the miniature nail-heads to the thinly cut Ipe, changes the context of the original design and adds an element of surprise. The wood sits atop a blackened steel base. Can’t get enough!
Drop end table – The Parachute Jump, a historical landmark punctuating the panorama of Coney Island, influenced the design of this end table. Once part of the World’s Fair, the now defunct ride looms over the rest of the park. Uhuru captures its essence through mechanical connections on a steel base, crowned with a faceted Ipe top.
Others include: Wonder Coffee Table, Drum Lamp, Saison Mirror – clicky here!
Just had the very last bite of my peanut butter on warm, crispy toast – but I promise it tasted like a cupcake while looking at all the mini delights from Kumquat Cupcakery.
Oh Brooklyn, we are meant to be. Brooklyn, New York, cupcake (and graffiti) hunts = my life.
These are real cupcakes and you will know when you find a real cupcake. A real cupcake is made with love and that is exactly what owner, Keavy Landreth, had in mind.
“Kumquat Cupcakery was born on October 15, 2007, when a dream, a sweet tooth, and a love for pleasing aesthetics were combined. With education from the Culinary Institute of America, The French Culinary Institute, and a BFA from Parsons School of Design, owner Keavy Landreth has set out to change the look and taste of cupcakes in NYC. Taking inspiration from the many gourmet patisseries around Manhattan, Keavy creates cupcakes that are enjoyed like a truffle or bonbon. Each one is appreciated for its bite sized stature, bold flavors, and specialized look.”
With flavors like Vanilla, Banana, PB Banana Honey, Lemon & Lavender, Strawberries, Orange Poppy Seed, Maple Bacon, Coffee Caramel Bourbon, Carrot, Pumpkin, Red Velvet, Dark Chocolate, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Chocolate Pstachio, Chocolate Orange and Chocolate Blueberry – I would not know where to start. Luckily these bite-size treats are small enough and that (of course) makes it okay to have a few. Now the most important question of them all; which one do you have first?
