Observations: or, Always a Plus-One, Never a Guest

hideously, she said (Free subscription) | yesterday

Say you're a glamorous media type who gets invited to fascinating, star-studded events, and you need a buddy to bring as an accomplice. A buddy who laughs loudly and wears an outlandish costume and/or matches your colors. I am that buddy . It's good to have me around, because I'm not competing for your job -- I'm just there to be agreeable. Wednesday night saw me and Rohin at SoHo's Agent Provocateur...

Boing Boing (Free subscription) | 06/11/2009

Next year, the UK's Royal Mail will sell 1st class stamps that feature images of 10 famous British album covers. The postal service collaborated with music mag editors and design writers to come up with the list — interestingly, no Beatles albums were chosen, but artists represented include Led Zeppelin, The Clash, Pink Floyd, Coldplay, David Bowie, and The Rolling Stones. I wish the USPS would...

Video of the Day: Play Would You Rather with Dan Rather

Flavorwire (Free subscription) | 06/11/2009

Our friends at Comedy Central worked the red carpet at the New York Comedy Festival's Stand Up For Heroes Event, eschewing traditional celebrity reporting to play a game of "Would You Rather?" with Dan Rather, taunt Brian Williams about his newscaster rivalry with Jon Stewart, and temporarily fluster Lisa Lampanelli, otherwise known as the Queen of Mean. Tracy Morgan's at Carnegie Hall tonight...

The thing I like best about David Bowie is that his albums mix songs that are some of my all time favorites ( Queen Bitch ) with others that are just ridiculous. When I was 18, I ordered a Bowie compilation CD called the DERAM Anthology from BMG . My friends and I were just starting to get into Bowie and I though getting some of his early stuff would be interesting. I remember listening to the CD for...

Purchase - Iman Luxury Eye Defining Powder in Wicked

Pink Sith (Free subscription) | 06/11/2009

I realized the other day that while I swatched the Iman Luxury Eye Defining Powder in Wicked when I did a guest post over at The Gloss Menagerie I never really reviewed the shadow for you all. So here ya go! Iman is an iconic beauty. It doesn't hurt to have perfect bone structure, height and gorgeous skin...but being married to David Bowie makes her that much cooler. Iman has had a small makeup line...

A few days in Tennessee

liebemarlene vintage (Free subscription) | 06/11/2009

Thanks so much for all your well-wishing! I ended up going to Tennessee for a few days because my grandma's not doing well and I wanted to go with my family to see her. And I guess I just wanted to spend time with my family in general. Drew couldn't go (he had to work), so yesterday I took my car through the mountains to get here, stopping along the way at antique stores and a thrift store, listening...

Style Profile...Amir Toos, NYC

The Sartorialist (Free subscription) | 06/11/2009

Style icons? David Bowie, Dennis Hooper & Fred Astaire Personal style quirk? Always leave room for assumption! Also, my accessories - I have my signature pieces made for me, and wear them all at the same time or not at all. If I have a business meeting I may not wear any accessories other than overstated cuff links. Any accessory must be a focal point, and really say something. Favorite designers...

Halloween

Style Child (Free subscription) | 06/11/2009

I was going to be a goat but I was making my mask out of some fake black fur and plain plastic black mask and superglue. I glued the fur to the mask, super. I waited a few seconds for the glue to dry. I put on the mask and promptly started dying as the poisonous fumes from the mask started stinging my eyes and nose. Goat costume = Epic Fail. So I went as a dead bride instead. Original, I know. From...

Dark Void dev diary focuses on that guy in front of the jetpack

Joystiq (Free subscription) | 05/11/2009

For us, the worth of protagonist Will in Dark Void isn't measured by his strengths as human being, but really just his awesome jetpacking . Airtight Games wants us to know there's more to like about the guy and aimed to make Will more in line with the typical Japanese game protagonist -- more believable and less of a "caricature." The above video diary also shows us how Nikola Tesla ended...
