When Straight Men Understand Hair Styling
So I got my haircut last night. And then went to B5’s little shindig. At which I saw a surprising number of people I knew. Like folks from past lives.
But I was asked by a certain VP of Sales if I had deliberately paid someone to style my hair to make it look as if I had just gotten laid. That wasn’t exactly how I asked my stylist to do my cut and blow out (I asked for flippy...

Now I want to know who on YM knows Kevin. And how! Anyone care to fill me in on this one? Going to imagine this somehow involves Phil or Orell.

I have trouble imagining Kevin screaming. Also the world is far far too small a place.
Really not meant to be stock in trade YM here, but this means you have to be a young. Or is YM really that impenetrable?

– And here I thought living in Chinatown was just more awesome and convenient. I had no idea it was a subversive gesture. OK wait I totally did. I did it for the cultural credibility.

– Huh. Nice to know that my job makes me an “it” girl and power marketer. Thanks Cate for again validating what I do!

Zync Responded
So I kinda went to their Facebook page because I didn’t really figure they actually had a listening program in place to find my query unless gave them a hint. Just my gut feeling.
I feel like its a bit meh. Other feedback on it says its “a PR response.” My general rule when responding to clients on the pages I manage is to give as much detail as possible as to how we are...

American Express Zync Card Sponsored the National...
So I’m at the AWNY breakfast panel on social media and someone from Amex is bragging about how they (well the Zync card) sponsored The National concert that was all over our little corner of the web. She went on and on about how it was such a huge social success. Now I saw a million conversations about this concert and the livestream and not one mention about American Express and the Zync credit...

Signs You Need to Lay Off The NyQuil
On Day Four of the worst spring cold ever, in the few waking hours I have, I am watching a Jerry Bruckheimer produced action film about spy guinea pigs. And I think its pretty entertaining.

I Love Inter-Generational Conflict
The New York Times has two lovely pieces detailing the myriad flaws of the Baby Boomers and Gen X.
I enjoy nothing more than reading articles about the failings of other generations as I go to my plum Gen Y makes good job. Also, the fact that I revel in this goes a long way towards explaining why no one likes us Millennials. We are just so smug. But really, who doesn’t enjoy watching Gen X...

Fuck. My Drink
So fuck, my drink, the only thing I really drink on a consistent basis has now become the stuff of hipster jokes. And I’m actually pretty irked. My bar, Whiskey Tavern, which is pretty much my home base 2-3 nights a week has had me putting back picklebacks for quite some time now. Rob, one of the owners, told me it would change my life. And I have to admit it kind has. The entire bar really....

When Do We Feature Women Within Say One Standard...
So nothing against the fatshionistas or anything but why are we always so extreme? Apparently all women who love fashion are either a Size 0 or a Size 24. Are fashion spreads featuring women that look like, I don’t know, say size 6 me, just not extreme enough for fashion? Because I think I am looking pretty awesome today. And I don’t look like Brooklyn Decker or Beth Ditto. And I am...

Shopping Was Always Fun
“A study by NYC & Co., the marketing organization behind Fashion’s Night Out in New York, claimed that 75% of Fashion’s Night Out attendees bought at least one item. The initiative will be renewed this September and is being expanded to more cities.”
On the one hand I am a big fan of in store events. Because who doesn’t like eating and drinking while shopping....
