Chipotle’s Chicken Burrito. The worst “Mexican Entree” on Men’s Health’s worst foods list. I knew I didn’t like Chipotle for a reason. Their #1 worst food—Outback Steakhouse’s Aussie Cheese Fries who have 2,900 calories per order.
Heath Ledger’s final portrait by artist Vincent Fantauzzo who tells Page Six:
The haunting image “was an idea we discussed together and came up with… it was about how we all have different consciences and voices in our head that tell us what to do and how to react. They’re not good or bad, they’re just voices that we hear, telling us how to behave. That’s what the other figures are in the painting.”
Both of these women were on CBS yesterday morning. See if you can tell who has the skewed view of what is in a woman’s best interest.
“We spend money we don’t have, to impress people we don’t even know or like. We have no money in our savings. We have very little in our 401k plans. We don’t have a penny to our name, yet, oh, we all look so pretty. We look so pretty…You know how many women stay in a relationship that they don’t want to be in? And why is it that they don’t leave? Because they don’t have the money to leave.” - Suze Orman
“You better start thinking about your financial future…Because nobody else is if you don’t. And if you think that’s unromantic, I’m sorry. That’s a fact of life. It’s realistic. I care about women. And I don’t want to see them get hurt”. -Patti Stanger talking about why fortune hunting is a must.

I MUST OWN THESE BOOTS.
Does anyone recognize them? They look sort of Steve Madden-esque to me … But if you find the link I’ll pay you back in smile-y face emoticons.
UPDATE:
HURRAY!!! The mystery has been solved. Those are Chinese Laundry “Top” boots. Buy them (along with me) here. Thank you to early risers Jennifer, EC and Christina, who all pointed them out to me. And now, as promised:
:) :) :) :) :) !!!
I own these boots in both suede and leather (they are so cheap!) You’ll love them.
EDIT: If you buy these (or any shoes) at ChineseLaundry.com you get 10% off if you enter the code: COUPONPOUCH
I want these shoes so badly.
File this under: never going to happen, can’t afford. Ever.
Here’s my personality: I was briefly moonlighting as a fashion model, but I get $8 haircuts from a 72-year old Italian guy. The haircuts are terrible, but I love to drop a huge tip and hear him brag about his pudgy grandkids so I keep going. Afterwards I kick myself every time I look in the mirror for 2 weeks until it grows out. A month later I wonder how the old guy is doing, cancel my appointment at the SoHo salon that serves you a pinot noir while you look at awful Julian Schnabel prints, grab my 8 bucks and go back to see the old guy again. He says, “Geez, where ya been, I thought-a you move to Brazil to grow teak trees or somethin’ crazy like dat!” and I say “Not a bad idea, Vittore: not a bad idea at all.” Then he wrecks my sideburns like a drunken matador.
I think I am actually intrigued. Assuming he really wrote this. Which is a big assumption.
1. Use Computer Courtesy
Whether a person is sending an email, chatting in a chat room or speaking in a forum, it is important to be courteous and respectful of others online. Always remember the Golden Rule!
2. Use Emoticons
When communicating online, it can be difficult to gauge a writer’s emotion. Unless a web camera or microphone is used, the writer’s expression or emotion is difficult to determine. By using emoticons, the writer’s proper emotion will be conveyed to the reader.
3. Be Brief Online
It is important to keep messages short, especially when writing an email or typing in a chat room. By using common chat abbreviations or acronyms, not only will the reader appreciate the brevity of the message, it will save the author valuable time typing the message. Remember, keep it short and be brief!
4. DON’T SHOUT
No matter what forum, writing in all capital letters is considered SHOUTING and is considered very rude. A word or two in caps is fine, but shouting is not recommended.
5. Pay Attention to Language Issues
Improper, inappropriate or bad language may get a participant kicked out or permanently banned from a forum or group. It is also important to remember people from other countries may be participating in the conversation and language barriers may be an issue.
6. Think Before Posting
It is important to note, what is posted online today, may come back and haunt the writer tomorrow. That silly or fun photograph posted on a social networking site, may keep that person from getting a job later on. Many colleges and employers are now searching social networking sites prior to hiring.
7. Keep Personal Information Private
Posting private and personal information in the wrong location can have serious consequences. Identity theft is a rapidly growing concern. Divulging too much information could give predators and those with bad intentions valuable information. Be careful where personal information is posted. If private information is posted in a group setting, read the guidelines prior to posting. Children should not post private information online
8. Obey Copyright Laws
Obey copyright laws. Don’t steal!
9. Help Internet Newbies
Be patient and helpful with others. Remember, everyone was newbie once.
10. Be Aware of Cyberbullying
Cyberbullying is increasing rapidly. Parents should talk honestly and openly to children about the issues of electronic bullying. Studies suggest many children do NOT tell a trusted adult if they are a victim of electronic bullying. If targeted by a cyberbully, do not respond. Keep all ORIGINAL correspondence, with dates and times if possible. If the messages are of a threatening nature or safety is a concern, contact local law enforcement as soon as possible.
By following these simple and straightforward Netiquette guidelines, the online experience will be enjoyable and safe for all!
I really want to go to these Russian and Turkish baths in the East Village for some reason. My friends think it is disgusting and don’t want to go. Has anyone been? I’d love to feel some steam and relax with some vodka. That sounds 100% like heaven.
I find nothing about this photograph of Lindsay Lohan from NY Mag to envoke the Marilyn Monroe “Last Sitting” photography series that it is meant to.
I am beginning to think more and more that Lindsay just craves this kind of attention—the kind you only get when you go to an extreme. I find these photos to be some type of cry for validation of attention, not artistic at all.
But maybe I’m just grossed out by her totally freckled leg.
For those of you who haven’t been following this, I thought I’d share these threads about the Edelman PR/Walmart/Ethics scandal.
It is a really good study in what to never do.
The WalMart saga:

CEO of Edelman replies to lie post:

And they reply to him:
via Wall Street Journal: Hugh Gallagher, a 36-year-old writer in New York, is one of the copied. Match.com has more than 50 profiles with parts of Mr. Gallagher’s college entrance essay, which he penned nearly two decades ago and later appeared in Harper’s Magazine. “I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees” and “I write award-winning operas” are among Mr. Gallagher’s most popular lines.
The book “Online Dating for Dummies” tells readers not to fret about copying. TheProfileCoach.com, meanwhile, offers 12 “proven” profiles for $4. Sample: “There is a shallowness, a fakeness to much of the ‘singles scene.’” A number of blogs offer free headlines for social-networking profiles, including, “Ernie’s train of thought has derailed.
Ummm and this is surprising?
Like OMG, just in time for the new season of The Hills (come on, you know you watch it) LC and Brody have been spotted together lately spending a lot of time together with LiLo nowhere in sight (that was just a fling).
I had to share this pic because of this creepy guy smoking a cigarette off of LC’s ass.
If you haven't checked out my tumblr yet, please do. That is where I hang most these days.
I have tons of Playlists on my iPod. It works better with the Bose home system to have Playlists, I’ve found. Anyhow, like many other females I am sure, I have several ‘love lists’ that vary depending on mood, moment, men.
Here are some of my favorites (I welcome suggestions, music recommendations are the best!)
Hopeful Love:
Endless Love:
Crossroads Love:
Unrequited Love:
Down on Love:

My thoughts: God I hope not. This is obviously super pessimistic…but life IS what you make it and I think sometimes I (and perhaps we all are) inclined to not seize the day as much as we should.
Today, Gawker weighs in on the infamous Hollywood Vanity Fair curse. How if you get put on the cover of the March annual it-girl/guy parade, then you are either going to be huge (or already are) or are doomed for miserable failure.
I found the gallery of Annie L’s covers for these issues to be fascinating and beautiful, she really is a great photographer.
What was interesting that I noticed is that the covers (which all extend to an interior page) feature the *most* famous people on the left (which is the actual cover) and the rest are banished to inside the fold as people open the cover.
Perhaps that is Graydon’s strategy?
On a side note: I really wish I could have been on this shoot. So many handsome men.
Peyton has on the hat. They are all gross. Ewe. If only they had Tom Brady’s genes. Winner or loser, he’s damn sexy.
Etsy :: AlcovePress :: Obama Inspired Valentine.
So funny, I was just saying “I want to Barack your world” (!) yesterday to my ex ex ex ex boyfriend, it was a joke, we’re friends. He found it stupid and cheesy.
Is this considered a high/low collaboration like with Target + half of the world?
Even horrible Jessica Simpson inspired extensions can't ruin her radiant glow. Last night @ the Grammys.
Sorry but I don’t find Nas’ marketing scheme to be interesting or compelling in any way. Here he is at the Grammys with his woman, Kelis, and I think they just look pathetic.
They have a regular feature there where they “Deathwatch” restaurants for a variety of reasons (losing a chef, bad NYT review, horrible concept from day #1, etc).
Last week they deathwatched Suba, one of my favorite NYC tapas joints bc of bad location (Rivington) for that type of dining (aka expensive).
What is interesting is the debate in the ‘comments’ of this Deathwatching that has ensued since it occured. The commenters raise a question (which I am sure has been raised 100 kajillion times) which is—what is the power of industry-focused blogs like this? And what is their responsibility to those establishments/people that they write about?
If you are stating an opinion that could potentially impact an individual or entity, what is your ethical liability?
Is there an answer to this already that I am missing?
Some comment highlights:
“This is a case where Eater is trying to make news not reflect on it. I frankly think it is irresponsible to deathwatch restaurants unless they are truly teetering on the edge. People put a lot of time and money into places and for some blog to create rumors of a potential closing can kill a business. Oh well. Guess that’s why they work at a blog instead of running a restaurant.”
“I guess it would be cool if Eater was powerful enough to close a restaurant. But I doubt that is true. so get over it. “
“As for the Deathwatch itself, yes it’s fucked up and parasitic for Eater to try to boost their readership by dancing on the grave of other people’s ambitions. It’s one thing to have an editorial viewpoint about whether a place is good or bad (which Eater doesn’t even try to do and in this case actually seems to think Suba is good), but this is just dumping on other people’s jobs and livelihood. What’s the point? Time to kill Deathwatch, and maybe even inject some positive news in here. The business is hard enough without parasites shitting on restaurants, particularly good ones.”
