Mimi Weddell was a true NYC style icon. The feisty 94 year old that kept us all on our toes, passed away last week.
Haircuts With 4 Year Olds
From my sister:
We (I) forgot about the boys’ haircuts on Saturday morning.
They need haircuts really bad.
I told William to ask R.J.* to do it.
“Noooo!,” he said, “then he’ll take all my hair like he does grandpa’s*!”
*R.J is my 17 year old brother. Grandpa (my dad) is bald…though quite handsome! Thanks for the Monday Morning laugh!

bigcrush:mikehudack:soupsoup:
Maybe I am overestimating the number of people who use AOL Instant Messenger but I feel like it has been underutilized as a device to do more than just send instant messages.
I’ve likely used it more than any other application since 1997.
It seems like a no brainer for it to be a hybrid instant messenger / microblogging app, not unlike tweetdeck.
I wonder why...

Overlook These Women At Your Peril
charitini:
…because I will hurt you. Just kidding. But if you do, it will hurt me because they are awesome. This is an excerpt from an interview I did with Gelf Magazine for tonight’s “OVERLOOKED: Women In Media” panel. It namedrops a skinny little slice of women that I find awesome. If you’re in the ‘hood tonight (that ‘hood being DUMBO), plea
I am so upset I can’t make this.
My Favorite Memory of Summer 2009
cajunboy:
So Rachelle at Guest of Guest asked a few people to share their favorite memory of summer 2009, and though I was really tempted just to say “when I didn’t die,” I decided to share a painfully touching story about me and the guy who runs a fruit stand on my block. Since it’s kind of long, you’ll have to scroll down pass all the twatty blowhards braying on and on about their exceedingly...

Here is a look at what it’s like in the GofG offices. Your feedback would be appreciated. We are going to be doing this daily. Tell me what you love/hate about it. Rachelle@guestofaguest.com. Also, we plugged you BlackBook, so all of the 5 people that will see it that are unfortunate enough to be online right now will know I heart your piece on Montauk. Now…Quogue bound!

WatchJust got back from taping on CNBC. Live television is so intense and scary.
In response to Brian Van: Perhaps you weren’t having that good of a time, because you keep peering over into the yard next door;) That being said, GofG has repeatedly lamented the bottle culture of NYC, and our best 2k is obviously tongue-in-cheek. But you knew this, you’re a smart guy!
Well, This Is Just Wacky Tacky....
Brian, here’s a tip. Follow your own mantra, be bold and go do something other than throwing misguided electronic bricks around the blogosphere.

Hey, remember when we went away to the Hamptons for a week, spent $2,000 every night on imported vodka and mixers, and woke up every morning on the beach next to our house with our pants soiled? We should cherish those memories!
