Last night’s “Tiki Rocks the Square” benefit for the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals at the Hard Rock Cafe in NYC’s Times Square was an absolute success. Check out some of the photos of the stars and fans from the evening, and make sure you check out the interviews with Justin Bieber and Fabolous as well!
Chunky and Buster have fun late at night here in the city. Perhaps a little too much fun…
Check out this clip of the dastardly duo “performing” Miley Cyrus‘ latest hit, “Party in the U.S.A.”, on the streets of NYC. It’s a good thing that they decided to do this when no one was around… that shirt on Chunky is a little scary.
P.S. – Does Buster steal the show here with his sweet guitar moves? Yes, I believe he does!
Chunky in the U.S.A.!!!

With Fashion Week over, I can tell you what I’ve learned. I can’t afford to be a cool kid. But, I can afford to buy knockoffs of what the cool kids are wearing. What else have I learned: It’s all about looking classy this season.
Ever notice the words classic and classy are pretty similar? It’s about to get classed up in here… I hope I can handle it because Fall 2009 is all about classic looks and simple lines.
——————————
Back to Basics:
Classy is back. Old school blouses, fitted shirts, slacks, and dresses are where it’s at this season.
Some say this throw back to a simpler time, when a polished look was the norm, is a sign of our economic woes. If you can only buy a few things, make them classics and they’ll never go out of style.
—————————————————————
Clutch It:
Those big hobo bags, loved by pack rats everywhere (including myself) are on their way out. Small, simple, clutches are making a come back this season.
—————————————————————
Leather:
I’m not sure if leather was ever out, but if it was, it is certainly back in. No, worries, that leather skirt you’ve been eyeing won’t make you look like a biker babe if you match it with some opaque tights and pumps. Going with the trend to get back to basics, leather trenches will be where it’s at when the temperature drops this fall.
—————————————————————
Sheath Dresses:
This simple line looks good on pretty much every body type. I’ll take six.
—————————————————————
Color:
Purple. Red. Grey. Could seem drab, but instead I like to say “classy”. Simple classic colors like purple and red with that leather skirt. C’est maginfique.
—————————————————————
Animal Print:
I’ve never been a huge animal print girl, but it’s growing on me. It seems like animal prints have been progressively getting hotter over the last few years. The animals this year: leopard (as always) and giraffe. Big chunky animal patterns – that’s where it’s at.
—————————————————————
Gold:
While silver is the new gold when it comes to summer shoes, gold is still gold when it comes to jewelry and gold never gets old. This season jewelry is about chunky gold stuff. With everything else going back to basic clean lines, the right gold accessory can really make an outfit pop.
In other gold news, gold is also making its way to clothing. Metallic is the new cotton, or something like that, if you’re looking to add a bit of flare (or glare) to an outfit, opt for a metallic fabric.
—————————————————————
Asymmetrical Lines:
Off the shoulder, one shoulder, lop-sided hems. Asymmetrical lines are all over this season. They can be very flattering and draw attention away from trouble spots. Personally, I’m a fan of the one shoulder blouse myself.
——————————
The best part of this back to basics feel of Fall is that I don’t feel guilty about shopping. If these are styles that will always be in style, well then, here’s my Amex, I’ll take two.

Beyonce is made of magic and goodness and everything wonderful, and Abercrombie & Fitch is really stupid for preemptively suing her… in my humble opinion of course.more
Eff yeah, I want a Pumpkin Juice and Every Flavor Bean… and I’m going to have it in 2010!
Universal Studios Orlando has officially announced their opening of a Harry Potter themed amusement park, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, next spring. The park will have all the stores you remember from the books, including an Olivander’s Wand Shop, where you can get your very own wand (magic not included), and ride the Hogwart’s Express.
Of course, there will be more adrenaline inducing rides for your thrill-seeking pleasure. Rides like the Tri-Wizard Tournament, and the Flight of the Hippogriff. But honestly, I’m just psyched to get a glimpse of a real life make-believe Hogwarts.
I’m lame, but I’m lame in an I-Don’t-Care-What-You-Think-I-Love-Harry-Potter sort of way and I’m totally psyched to spend my vacation next year in Florida.
Does anyone else think that J.K. Rowling is about to get soooooo much more wealthy. How many castles can one woman own?

This just in, people lie…
There’s a study for everything these days, including our lying habits – and the newest dirt on our fibbing habits are in.
Men lie more than women, twice as much in fact. In a recent study of 2000 Britons, it was found that men lie on average about six times a day, women lie, on average three times.
So, what do we lie about?
Apparently nothing important. The most common lie for both ends of the gender spectrum was, “Nothing’s wrong, I’m fine”. Little-white-lies seemed to rule the most popular lie category – men tend to lie about how much they drank and about whether or not their girlfriend really does look fat in those pants. Women, on the other hand, have an affinity for lying about how much they spend shopping.
There you have it, we’re all a bunch of cliche lying bastards.

I wonder what happens to your career when the President of the United states publicly (well, actually privately) declares you a jackass? Kanye West is about to find out.
Twitter is a wonderful thing, especially when journalists make fairly sizable errors in judgement, like the one Terry Moran made last night, when talking to President Obama, off-the-record, about the VMAs that happened on Sunday night. Our, usually all-too-appropriate, President made a remark that Kanye was a “jackass”, which of course as any super-duper excited journalist with a Twitter account would do, Terry then twittered the experience causing all sorts of a Kanye-bashing frenzy.
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOPcJtMaI-U[/youtube]
Moran realized fairly quickly that this lil nugget of info was not for public ears and removed the comment from his twitter page, but the damage was already done.
There are three things that cross my mind:
1. Doesn’t the President have better things to do than watch the VMAs?
2. Does this presidential announcement make it law. Is it now official? Is Kanye a jackass?
3. Will Kanye vote for Obama in 3 years?
I think it would be awesome if there were a celebrity ego-battle between Kanye West and President Obama. They could blog about each other and write songs about one another, and even pass laws in congress about each other.

Patrick Swayze was the first man I ever loved…
He didn’t know it, obviously, but I’m sure I’m not alone in this one. Today is a sad day for every girl who once upon a time wished that she was “Baby” and that Patrick might, you know, “put her in a corner”.
Sadly, there will be no corners. Patrick Swayze died last night, losing his (almost) two-year battle with Pancreatic cancer. Swayze was 57 and leaves behind his wife of 35 years, Lisa Niemi.
Patrick and Lisa met at his mothers dance studio when he was 19 and Lisa was only 15. They’ve been inseparable since. Lisa, a licensed pilot, has spent the last two years flying Patrick back and forth from Los Angeles to Northern California for medical treatments.
In the 20-months that Swayze has battled cancer, he’s accomplished more than most healthy people do in a lifetime. Swayze filmed an entire season of his A&E series The Beast, all without painkillers, fearing the drugs would weaken his performing ability. The station decided not to renew the series based on Swayze’s faltering health.
Earlier this year Swayze published an op-ed in The Washington Post, urging congress to step up their support of medical research and out put, in a piece called “I’m Battling Cancer. How About Some Help, Congress?” He also took part in the Hollywood-heavy fundraiser Stand Up to Cancer, that hosted events and television programs last September.
Patrick Swayze will be missed, but thanks to a some tight jeans and a cha-cha, he’ll never be forgotten.

Have you seen the BODIES exhibit, hosted all around the world, but most specifically in South Street Seaport for us New Yorkers? If you haven’t, it’s a morbidly fascinating education on the human body, if not a serious appetite suppressant. Donated bodies (also a bit of a political drama), are treated in a way that allows their muscles, sinews, and organs to be perfectly preserved, through a process called plastination.
While before, I could chalk the whole exhibit up to being an educational field trip, the newest addition to the world of BODIES is a bit much… even for me. The latest addition to the BODIES exhibit hasn’t hit the American audience yet, first making the rounds in Europe, a generally less squeamish society. What’s to be squeamish about, well, the new show in Europe, called Life Cycles, shows life through conception to death, with a display of two “bodies” having sex. You know, because that’s how conception starts.
Side note: Weirdest “so what do you do” conversation ever: “Uhh, well, I make dead bodies pumped full of plastic and completely skinned, have sex. The health insurance is great.”
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0T1VNll0fQE[/youtube]
Yes, the point of the exhibit is to educate the viewing audience on conception and how it is done, but the argument can be made that ‘how it is done’ has never been a problem for the human race to figure out. Especially now that there’s cable. One could even argue that the necro-voyeuristic exhibit could kill (no pun intended) the global sex drive. I for one, have to say, the idea of two dead folks stuck forever in coitus, without so much as an epidermis, is not exactly an aphrodisiac.
Having said all of that, if it came to New York, I would see it, because it’s just too weird not to.
