Steve Martin’s new novel, An Object of Beauty, is a true delight if you’re into Sex and the City, art world scandal, and coming-of-age stories. As with his first book, Shopgirl, Steve Martin continues to amaze me for his effortless impersonation of a twenty-two-year-old girl. Sometimes I feel like he has employed a ghost writer [...]

A friend of mine went on a date with a former work colleague this week. She was excited to finally explore her crush. The evening was enhanced by some specialty cocktails (the guy is typical Brooklyn and owns a bitters company). It started off well and ended with him insisting that she take one of [...]

Subway etiquette in New York City is abominable. This week I encountered a girl (with a dreadful spray tan that gave her an orange glow) who had positioned a small box on the subway seat in front of her. I asked her if she could move the box so that I could sit down. She [...]

FOMO stands for “Fear Of Missing Out.” I think it’s a thing for your college years and early twenties. It’s when you hear about a party in some kid’s dorm room, or when some Manhattan party promoter texts you that Kanye West will be appearing at X Nightclub and you HAVE to come, and you [...]

By now this is old news and you are probably tired of hearing about the performance artist who gave birth in a Brooklyn gallery, but I just wanted to make sure you got the memo. Marni Kotak believes that giving birth is “the highest form of art.” She created an art piece out of it, [...]

Billionaire Texan Sid Bass is getting a divorce from his second wife, Mercedes, the news has reported. It was a mutual end and they hope to remain friends. Apparently Sid is fed up with the glitz and glamour and wants to live a simple life as a painter. Though he has given millions to the [...]

The birthday boy was turning fifty-something, and his mother was responsible for the entire [...]

The hidden identity of a mousy Manhattan lawyer working in the New York Attorney General’s office has made a splash in the news this week. She might be “Alisha Smith” by day, but by night, she’s “Alisha Spark,” dominatrix du jour. That’s right, she unbuttons her pant suit and “performs” at S&M events, satisfying the [...]

There has been an unfortunate mishap at the Hustler Club in Manhattan. A man is suing the club for getting tricked into his $28,000 bar bill. He claims that the busty employees got him so intoxicated that “he was no longer capable of conducting financial transactions.”
At least he’s not alone in his idiocy. One CEO [...]

I haven’t written in a while, because I finally got a real job. At a desk and everything. I had deactivated this blog, because many people thought it was jeopardizing my chances of getting hired. But finally one HR person neglected to Google me.
The Manhattan job search has been a huge 9-month-long bummer, so I’m [...]
