Namaste, m*th*rf*ck*rs. I’ve learned

Namaste, m*th*rf*ck*rs.

I've learned of some cool new websites for eating in NYC. One is opentable.com (thank you Sarah) and the other is diningfever.com. Go pig out.

Anybody eat anywhere cool recently?

Ann Arbor memories

I went to Ann Arbor a week and a half ago for an overnight business trip. I always enjoy this trip, which I usually take once a year, if the budget permits.

Two years before I moved to DC, I spent the summer in Ann Arbor. I had a traineeship for which I did almost nothing, mostly because I had no idea what I was supposed to do. In theory, I was using a particular dataset to develop ...

This e-mail will self-destruct in 5 seconds.

Gotta love junk mail. But here`s something that`s just a little scary: the CIA is looking for new employees via spam e-mail. Yikes.

Before you read the below, let us review some particularly charming highlights of what a new career at the CIA might mean for me:

  • As a member of the "clandestine national service", I can frolic "On the international stage" where I can be "the eyes and ...

Still hungry?

Part II: Hollywood called, they want their orgasm back

I wanted to wrap up this hellish conversation. I knew that his male ego would never ever in a million trillion years allow for even a shred of possibility for faked orgasms, so I told him, “Ah, okay, so you worked on it for months. I thought you meant they came right out of the starting gate.” Whatever.

He said, “Yeah, and I’m fully aware that vaginal orgasms are unusual. I don’t know how I got

new from lovely lovely!

One of my favorite UK table top brands, Lovely Lovely, has added some new pieces to their colorful and lace-inspired line. These photos have a dark satire feel to them...and the random molded jello pieces are really amusing!...

“Fashion is very important. It is life-enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well.”

Matching shoes and handbags aren't usually my kind of thing but, trawling the web this morning, I came across some delightful duos that made me re-consider. Although I can be obsessive when it comes to co-ordination at times, the thought of matching accessories just seemed too prissy for my liking. However, I've found three matching shoes and handbags that compliment each other perfectly without looking too OTT:

The only ...

Oh, yeah? Well, reject THIS!

Here, fiction writers, is a bit of inspiration for you. A friend just pointed me to this short video in which an author rejects a rejection letter--and then moves on to start another novel. (If you're like me and listen to music when you're online, you'll want to turn it off for this.)

And speaking of scary books, here's part of an e-mail I received last night from author Christopher Well:

I am hoping you could do me a favor ...

Football Hits Women’s Bookshelves

Whilst we've just been plodding along quietly here at Trashionista, our shoe loving friends at Shoewawa have decided that they wanted to stir up a bit of trouble at our World Cup themed blog Who Ate All The Bratwurst. After...

“When there’s uncertainty they always think there’s another shoe to fall. There is no other shoe to fall.”

On the left is Marc Jacobs ankle strap wedge shoes, available from Net a Porter for £200. On the right is ASOS's version, priced at a mere £18. The colour might be slightly different but other than that, the only real difference I can see between the two is a £182 saving! Also worth checking out is Primark's version of this sandal..I popped in there on Friday and they had racks of Marc Jacobs-esque shoes, the majority of ...

YAY OR NAY WEDNESDAY

Last week's Yay or Nay Wednesday saw a theme of Nay. Not even the fact that Hollywood seems to have given it the thumbs up could secure it a yay. This week we turn our attention to Plum Syke's debut...

BOOK REVIEW : Old School Ties by Kate Harrison

As Big Brother fever is sweeping across the UK at the moment, I was drawn to this book about the making of a reality TV programme. Whilst this isn't about a house with a random mix of 'unique' characters (Ben...
