Niche List: May 7 Ice Cream, Design And Music

004
Picture taken at P0rno Bingo at Pieces on Thursday. Slowest Bingo ever.

Haagen Dazs Five is the best thing ever. It is their new line of ice cream with only five ingredients, milk, sugar, egg, cream, and the fruit/flavor of the ice cream. I just tasted the lemon and I love it. I can’t wait to try the ginger.

The Short Week In Links (Afropunk, Hot Dogs,Twitterbook)

July 004

Monday, I went to the CD release party for Adira Amram’s “Hot Jams for Teens”.

Tuesday, I went to a book event at Agency 16 for The Twitter Book by Tim O’Reilly and Sarah Milstein.

Wednesday, I stopped by Blip.tv party.

Friday, I went to Joe’s pub for Erin and Her Cello’s show. It was great! Adira Amram, Carla Rhodes and Shockwave (who is a cast member for PBS’s The Electric Company) were guest stars.

Saturday, I celebrated the 4th of July with friends.

Sunday, I went to AfroPunk Festival at the BAM parking lot. I saw Sweetie, Apollo Heights, Tamar Kali, Peekaboo Theory and Earl Greyhound. I heard a rumor that Living Colour may perform, but it didn’t turn out to be true. All the bands rocked. It was FREE!

Walk Of Shame Shopping

5 Comments

A few years ago, my friend Erin Hall of Erin and The Cello wrote a fun song called “Walk Of Fame”. Some of the lyrics go like this:

It’s not the walk of shame.
No! No! No!
It’s called the walk of fame.
Yo! Ho! Ho!


Summer’s here and people tend to get a bit frisky with the more sunlight and warmer weather. Hooking up on a school night can be fun; that’s totally cool. However, it can be a pain in the ass (no pun intended) clothing-wise the next day especially for a chick. Women CANNOT wear the same outfit to work two days in a row. Therefore, “walk of shame” Shopping is the only solution. Here are a few recommendations.

  1. If you hook-up downtown, you best bet is to go to Century 21 (22 Cortlandt Street). It opens at the crack of dawn at 7:45 AM, Monday Through Friday.
  2. Most Gaps/Old Navys open at 10AM, except for the ones near Times Square which may open at 9AM and the one at 6th Ave around 46th Street opens at 8 AM
  3. K-Mart on Astor Place (yes it may come to this) opens early. I think as early as 8AM, but I have to confirm.
  4. Chinatown is usually a no- go because all you will find of knock-off of Louie Vuitton bags and I LOVE NY T-shirts. This would be good only if your “walk of shame” morning coincides with Halloween and you could say that you are in costume as a tourist.
  5. For the fast-fashion cheap fashionistas, there’s Strawberry. The one at Grand Central opens at 8AM.
  6. Here a proactive option: If after a few drinks during happy hour, you are 99.9% that you going home with the musician/writer/vegan that you are talking to, stop by the American Apparel store on the Lower East Side (183 East Houston St) which stays open to 10PM on weeknights. An outfit may only set you back $50. It’s worth it; besides, the guy is gonna pay for the taxi  Uber to Astoria or East Bushwick.  Right?!
