PRETTY IN DIET PINK – GAY MEN DON’T GET FAT

Posted on February 29, 2012 | 1 Comment

Diet Coke- off the list ( too much sodium)
Cup Cakes- off the list
Ice Cream -off the list
Potato Chips – off the list

The new book from Simon Doonan, the famous creative director of Barneys New York, is telling it like it is.  His new book is pretty in pink and I love it!  The cover alone is smashing and the title makes me smile.  It is kinda true!  When you look at a menu, the first thing we do is look at what we are NOT eating.  No, no, nope, maybe, never, not tonight, ok I’ll go to the gym in the am.

Foodies the gays are!  Eaters we are not!  Remember: pink is the new black and just as slimming.

HIDDEN GEM – RYE HOUSE

Posted on February 23, 2012 | Leave a comment

One day I was walking down 17th Street in New York City and I glanced at the menu of a new young professional restaurant called Rye House.  I saw “Boiled Peanuts” on the menu and I instantly started salivating for this southern “side of the road delicacy.”  Boiled peanuts was a family treat from Savannah, Georgia. My Uncle Bubba spoiled me with these warm and salty peanuts as soon as my feet hit the ground from the airplane. Rye House has a rustic decor and thrives on gourmet comfort food. Grilled Cheese with Truffle oil? A killer ice cream sandwich — a must have. Comfort, boiled peanuts, and truffle oil. I’m so in!

FRESHLY SQUEEZED – ADLER ADDICTION

Posted on February 16, 2012 | 2 Comments

A blend of Ruby Pink and White grapefruit makes this candle POP! The bright yellow glass vessel will brighten up any room! Last year I received two of these candles on the same night at my birthday dinner. Great minds think alike. Thanks, guys! I had to slowly burn out my last candle in anticipation to start using the new Adler addition to my home. WOW. The wonderful scent is like heaven. It is soft and dreamy. Even when the candle is not burning the glorious smell still permeates in the room. This candle is the signature scent of “SoulCycle,” the new trendy spin class haven in NYC. Thanks Jonathan for making a candle that is a breath of fresh air!

GRAMMY GIRL – ADELE

This girl has it all: grace, grandness and Grammys!  This DVD captures it all from The Royal Albert Hall in London.  Her concerts sell out in record breaking time.  Turn your living room into a grand ballroom and have the new Queen of Pop sing for you.  Her voice is Grammy Gold!

MUSIC MANIAC – BON IVER

Posted on February 2, 2012 | 1 Comment

Take a ride to rustic and strange new places. This album travels to many places such as “Calgary” and “Washington.” This mellow vibe is so smooth and soothing that you feel like you are floating in a swimming pool.  There are also traces of modern technology mixed with classic instruments like piano and guitar.  Justin Vernon’s whisper feels so soft and beautiful.  Great music to take this journey and ride the rapids.

HIDDEN GEM – HOTEL TORTUGA

Posted on February 1, 2012 | 2 Comments

Anyone who is a fan of fish tacos needs to check into this restaurant. It is not a hotel but a tilapia taco heaven.  They are out of this world.  This cheap and cheerful eatery is so authentic that you will absolutely love the food and the prices.  The guacamole is also a must!  This gem is really hidden on E14th Street.  You can easily miss it.  It looks like an average take-out but inside it is adorable and has great music playing from this family-owned iPod.  No need to over pay for the new trend in tacos.  This is the real deal!
