Blending Comfort and Self Expression

February 20, 2012

From our “What’s Up With That?” department, do you ever wonder what movie critics do on their days off—do they go see a movie? You ever wonder if the manicurist does her own nails? When it comes to clothing, we may not be exactly what we wear. Still: clothing gives us hints of someone’s attitude, [...]

We Are The Dave’s

January 29, 2012

Alongside today being the birthdays of, oh, W.C. Fields and Tom Selleck, the Investigations Unit of this blog has discovered an all-important calendar even. Today is the 27th anniversary of the recording of “We Are The World.” This is notable in that it brought together the unlikely combinations of musicians who, if you ask us, [...]

Leaping into Leap Year

December 30, 2011

We’d wax all nostalgic about the year that was 2011, but we’re too excited about the prospects for 2012 to get too sentimental. Still, it’s not too late to tell you that 2011 was the United Nations’ International Year of Forests and the International Year of Chemistry. Okay. Enough about that. 2012 is a leap [...]

Black Friday, the day after we stuff a turkey and then stuff ourselves, is fast approaching.

Schott NYC and Sorel Provide Comfort and Warmth

November 16, 2011

Okay, November just hasn’t gone at all like we thought it would. What with snow in October, we we prepared to build an igloo out back and sled to work every day, like Santa. But then it got mild, and then it got warmer and then it was downright balmy. We suspect that Mother Nature [...]

Happy Angam Day. In 1949, Bethel Enproe Adam was born in the Republic of Nauru, an island nation in the South Pacific. Important because Bethel became the 1,500th citizen—a number the Nauruans consider vital to assuring their survival as a race.

The Chinese New Year began a week ago, and hop to it: the Year of the Rabbit is upon us. Depending on your source, this will either be a great year or a troubled one, filled with either wealth or financial difficulties, lasting love or continued internet dating uncertainty.

Clothing for Women, Regardless of Sign

January 19, 2011

We’re working our monthly shift at the food coop in Brooklyn. We won’t mention it by name; it’s in Park Slope. We’re packing bags of spices. Cardamom, garlic, peppercorn, cinnamon. This is what we do. Across from us, slicing and wrapping cheese, is a woman who announces to the room that she’s just changed her [...]

Head to Toe for One of Those Days

January 12, 2011

Let it snow, let it snow, let it—okay, but really: every now and then we cry uncle. New York got walloped and then walloped again.
