Yes, I still can't stand Guiliana The Panda but Ryan Seacrest is becoming equally annoying.2. I don't have one favorite film this year. I secretly loved Life of Pi. I will be happy if Argo or Silver Linings Win. I think Speilberg is a hack.3. I could give a rat's ass about Seth McFarland. I don't know how he got this job.4. Are people telling Kelly Osbourne that her hair looks good that shade? She's kept it like that for over a year.5. There needs to be some new stylists in Hollywood. All these girls look the same.6. Bradley Cooper is my new favorite male star. HOT.7. I want Ang Lee to win best director and I'm sad Richard Parker wasn't nominated.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB1_SvM1iOeSoTzmFjblUsIqz3xFb5R1WMpeDg17zqfprHw_r_rQSAA_5TIZqGcRzTaVVVzJt0BUHNR-6du42cp2yOq_cK0LVSpb0G2A3-psj5LbH3YlgrKHlVPdFWXlasljGj/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-02-24+at+7.24.16+PM.png" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB1_SvM1iOeSoTzmFjblUsIqz3xFb5R1WMpeDg17zqfprHw_r_rQSAA_5TIZqGcRzTaVVVzJt0BUHNR-6du42cp2yOq_cK0LVSpb0G2A3-psj5LbH3YlgrKHlVPdFWXlasljGj/s320/Screen+Shot+2013-02-24+at+7.24.16+PM.png" /></a>Jane Fonda gives me a major Dynasty flashback.8:22Kristen Chenoweth is annoying the hell out of me but it's good to see Rene Zellweger is still alive.

It's the biggest night of my year-The Oscars. My friend Ken just called me and told me he thinks of me more on this night than my birthday. As the red carpet is on, I'm prepping dinner and gathering my thoughts before the big show at 8:30. Here are some things you need to know about how I feel about the red carpet.<br />
1. I hate Guiliana The Panda Rancic. I think she's a terrible interviewer and is like a Kardashian turd...talentless and boring. I miss Joan and Melissa.<br />
2. What is up with Kelly Osborne's hair? How did she get this job?<br />
3. Yikes! Bernice Bejo just showed up and lost her first chance of looking like a movie star...bad hair and she looks washed out in her dress.<br />
4. I am not a George Clooney fan although he was OK in The Descendants. I'm more of a Brad Pitt fan and loved Moneyball.<br />
5. The Artist is my favorite runner in tonight's telecast.<br />

How in the hell did I become a combination of Marlo Thomas in That Girl combined with Little Edie combined with Blanche from the Golden Girls? It's enough to make mew want to go out and blow all my savings and take up with a 22 year old hipster from Williamsburg. I am questioning where the hell did the all the time go and wtf did I accomplish in it and I'm not so sure. I found so much confidence in my 30s and now I feel like my core is somewhat shaken. So, to you all you single ladies approaching 40 in the next few weeks, I recommend the following as I'm trying very hard to follow my own advice and while it's hard, it's somehow pulling me through...<br />
1. Be an emotional risk taker. You have nothing to lose and put yourself out there while you can still walk and reach menopause. Love those back that care about you.<br />
2. Blow money on good times while you can still have them.<br />
3. No matter what, do not get another cat. (I almost did this and I'm glad I didn't or it would have distracted from my travels.)<br />
4. Travel and have fun. <br />
5. Be gentle with yourself. I always hear this phrase from my friends who have emerged from the depths of hell.nycbabylonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09166312594191149752noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049116.post-22893090159104518212011-05-18T23:33:00.002-04:002011-05-18T23:33:17.832-04:00Last Couple Days on EarthIs the end of the world on Saturday, May 21st?

My mother who every day becomes more of a curmudgeon gave me the unsolicited advice that if I get this cat, I'm going to make "the worst mistake" of my life. Well, for the record, I've made a lot bigger mistakes in my almost 40 years. Here they are (not in order).<br />
<br />
1. Sitting on the floor of the car while our German Shepard was sitting on the seat while my dad was listening to the CB radio which resulted in a dog bite across my face resulting in a scar and almost losing an eye.<br />
2. Not saving any money in my 20s resulting in major financial hardships and credit issues that have taken many years to resolve.<br />
3. Not considering the proposal with the love of my life in my 20s resulting in a situation where I'm a lonely old maid considering adopting a three-legged cat.<br />
4. The time I knocked over the vase of flowers during an interview at Vogue.<br />
5. Knocking out my front tooth winding up a tennis net.<br />
6. Bleaching my own hair after watching Lost Highway.<br />
<br />

<p$1>Welcome to my annual Oscar liveblog. I'm gearing up and making dinner while watching the red carpet. I predict that Anne Hathaway will bomb and that Celine Dion will sing. I'm routing for Social Network and Aronofsky. Oh, I am getting a late start because I went crazy at the Loehmann's Italian event where I got into the Oscar spirit by buying a couple of Valentino jackets.<br />
<p$1><p$1><p$1>7:23<br />
<p$1>I'm still in red carpet hell with Guiliana The Panda and Kelly Osbourne. What are their credentials as fashion critics? I lost weight and I didn't get a column in Vogue. All of these girls all look so styled. What happened to personal taste? I prefer to see mistakes than the vision of Rachel Zoe. Oh, shit. It's Celine Dion. Told you'd she would sing.<br />

Getting ready for the telecast. I am wishing the following will win:<br />
Best Picture: Social Network<br />
Actor: James Franco<br />
Actress: Michelle Williams<br />
Director: Aronofsky<br />
<br />
Also, I will be taking a bathroom break when Paltrow sings. I can't stand her.<br />

Anne Hathaway is not funny. When I was working as a stand up, actors would try to be funny. They couldn't. This hosting gig is going to really hurt her career. That opening was unwatchable.<br />

I don't understand this fake tension between Hathaway and Jackman. I mean, what was that bad joke about his being the wolver to her rine?

I have been pigging out for a year straight at too many fancy restaraunts and bad take out food. As I start my new role and a new year, I'm back on the trusted Weight Watchers diet which always work WHEN I FOLLOW IT. But, as I joined online yesterday to "bite it and write it," I was very confused because they changed how the points work. I mean, I was used to 19-23 points per day with 10 bonus points + activity. Now, I have like 35 points a day and 49 weekly and they don't count calories anymore and a glass of wine is now 4 points but what is a glass of vodka? And, I desperate need the online tool to keep track for me but I don't know how to count anything anymore. So, you had to change the program because morons where choosing a pack of 100 pt. Oreos versus a banana? Actually, I saw people do that. This all better work. If I seem cranky the next few months it is because I'm living off egg whites, pickles and bananas.nycbabylonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09166312594191149752noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049116.post-25724772843246058322011-01-24T23:15:00.000-05:002011-01-24T23:15:28.160-05:00Favorite Movies 2010Since the Oscar nominations come out tomorrow, I wanted to release my list of favorte films of 2010. While many critics deliver their "best" lists, I always prefer to list my favorites as these are based on personal taste, experience of watching the film (a bad date can really ruin a movie) and their emotional impact on me. Timing is also crucial.<br />
<br />
1. True Grit-Best line, "Well, that didn't pan out."<br />
2. Black Swan-It's not a great movie but ever since I saw it, when I start going crazy from craving perfection, I now say, "I'm going Black Swan."<br />
3. Somewhere-Chateau Marmont...need a I say more?<br />
4. King's Speech-As my friend Todd always points out, I love any movie about a middle-aged man with a speech impediment (i.e. Sling Blade.) As my sister knows, I love the Queen Mother. Of course, I loved this movie.<br />
5. Toy Story 3-Yes, I cried at the end and missed my old stuffed animals.<br />
6. Another Year-As I get older, I like to see movies about old people.<br />
7. Blue Valentine-I peed during the big nc-17 scence but it was still the saddest movie I saw all year. Is it me, or is Michelle Williams a great actress?<br />
8. Social Network: Why in the hell am I not a billionaire?<br />
9. Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work: Joan writes every joke on an index card and files it. Inspirational.<br />
10. Exit Through the Gift Shop: Saw this right after my Spring obsession with Marina Abramovic at MOMA.<br />
<br />

I have to confess, I actually teared up during the finale of Housewives of Beverly Hills. I hate admitting that I watched it and all season and that I was mesmerized with Camille Grammer's plastic surgery. But, the real star of this reality series was Kim Richards and I'm on Team Kim and and think Kyle is the meanest and most vindictive person I have ever witnessed on reality TV. Kyle holds such unresolved resentment and bitterness toward her sister and her willingness to belittle Kim on national television was inexcusable no matter what has happened between them throughout the years. I feel disgusted that BRAVO actually aired this (although it was gripping.) The relationships of sisters is complicated and sometimes messy, but despite the fights I have my sister, I would NEVER go into it on an Andy Cohen orchestrated show on BRAVO. After seeing this episode and crying at the severity at the end, I wanted to say I love my sister Ellen and no matter what happens between us, I WILL NEVER GO KYLE RICHARDS ON YOU and I know you will never leave me crying alone in the back of a limo on BRAVO. Love you, sis.nycbabylonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09166312594191149752noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049116.post-32977566056424913692011-01-21T19:09:00.000-05:002011-01-21T19:09:02.265-05:00West Village Pool Scandal<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAy_2MoZRadHNYSRkHooEX42Y5LqtVWMcj0vgGRz4wqetPdhekz6PtM9zpN-efAlPbF_c3bNbvyX_YFvtQYfftlzAnOo92hZ3zVevFVj1oOPUeogaNy815U6zm30ng0rLxGj1E/s1600/phouse.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAy_2MoZRadHNYSRkHooEX42Y5LqtVWMcj0vgGRz4wqetPdhekz6PtM9zpN-efAlPbF_c3bNbvyX_YFvtQYfftlzAnOo92hZ3zVevFVj1oOPUeogaNy815U6zm30ng0rLxGj1E/s320/phouse.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>As many of you know, I disappear to secret outdoor spaces and beaches during the summer. One of my trusted places of refuge on hot summmer days has always been the pool located above the Printing House. There I hang with former 70 teen idols, Playboy bunnies, old Village ladies and washed up rock stars. I develop a tan starts in mid-May that lasts through the end of September. My hair turns green and I swim laps with a kickboard. Along with my gyno, one of my longest relationships in NYC has been my committment to this space and the people who go there. Over the past couple of months, Equinox purchased the Printing House threatening my private sanctuary. They are stating they will "renovate" the pool, but I fear publicity and dues will rise and my glorious summers with Jimmy, Alice, Denize and even fat Carla will end. Goodbye, old friend. Even if they surround you in bamboo and create more seating, it just won't be the same. I suppose now I'll need to spend more time at the beach.nycbabylonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09166312594191149752noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049116.post-38840974699644672202011-01-20T21:31:00.002-05:002011-01-20T22:06:09.040-05:00Things I Hated 2010Things I Hated 2010<br />

3. The overuse of the non-word "impactful" in meetings.<br />
4. When Max gets sick with bladder stones.<br />

11. Members on task forces who do not do tasks.<br />
12. Crying at work.<br />
13. People who think it's OK to voice homophobic comments in front of me. <br />

15. When Justin Beiber tries to be cool<br />
16. Willia H. Macy <br />
17. mayo<br />
18. ketchup<br />
19. cheese<br />
20. relish<br />
21. Every fall when I realize moths have ruined 1/2 of my cashmere<br />
22. Young girls who "Tweet" and think they are digital experts. Not true.<br />
23. Sitting on the runway <br />
24. Cold calls <br />
25. 8AM meetings<br />
26. Having my order messed up at a restaurant<br />
27. Having to fire someone<br />
28. Bras that don't fit after being "fitted"<br />

We need to stop this murderer.nycbabylonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09166312594191149752noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049116.post-26169095684678567562010-09-27T22:41:00.002-04:002010-09-27T23:19:42.059-04:00Add as Friend: Social Network Review<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lB95KLmpLR4?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lB95KLmpLR4?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />I was hesitant that the movie of the Social Network wouldn't be as good as the trailer. I was wrong. The script is hilarious, Jesse Eisenberg's portrayal of Zuckerberg is uncanny and even Justin Timberlake is hilarious as Sean Parker. As someone who has built an paying career on user generated and social media content and technology, I am of course a ripe audience member for The Social Network and was going to love it even a little bit even if it was pure crap. At the post screening Q&A which included the cast and writer Aaron Sorkin, I was surprised that all of the cast members admited they don't even have facebook profiles despite all the "research" that went into the film. (I was reminded of the executives I work with that don't have facebook profiles who mandate we work with facebook as a means to itself without having any idea how the site operates.) So, essentially, The Social Network is less about Zuckerberg or the founding of facebook but actually a meditation on how the advancement of digital technology has destroyed the classic entertainment industry and narrative as we knew it. A lot of critics are comparing the film to Citizen Kane but since I saw the film last night, I keep thinking about Robert Altman's Nashville. Just like Nashville used the country music industry as a tool to investigate the politics and culture of the 1970's, the Social Network is essentially a documentation of what we've all been up to over the past decade and how the advancement of "technology" is not socializing us, but actually tools for alienation and capitalization. It's a film about the losers and the winners, the rich and the poor and the drifters and the stars in Silicon Valley. And thank god it's all documented as an actual "motion picture" rather than just a fleeting status update.nycbabylonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09166312594191149752noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049116.post-22310275915786147412010-09-02T00:41:00.004-04:002010-09-02T00:48:02.334-04:00I'm in LustI like really like this guy in an 8th grade sort of way and I realized that the only way to deal with an unrequited crush is through blogging. I like him so much that I'd do things for him that I wouldn't do for hardly anyone if they asked me. These include:<br />1. I'd give him some money. I hate giving anyone my money but I'd give him a percentage of my paycheck if he asked. <br />2. I'd wash his dishes and I don't even wash my own. The same goes for his laundry.<br />3. I'd be quiet if he asked me to.<br />4. I'd escort him to a sporting event or play tennis with him. I hate sports and tennis.<br />5. I'd eat cheese if he made it.<br /><br />So, you get my point and I'm too much of pussy to express how I feel. I just turned 39 last week and I realized that I've become too private in the past couple of years. Well, screw it. I'm back and I'm blogging and I'm ready for love. I just hope I get to hold on to my cash.nycbabylonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09166312594191149752noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049116.post-88927247788459508902010-07-15T23:32:00.005-04:002010-09-02T00:51:37.706-04:00The Secret of My SuccessThe truth is that I've been working like a dog for the past couple of years and today I realized that the capitalist side of my personality was initially formed by multiple viewings of movies about work. Here's my cinema MBA.<br />1. Secret of My Success<br />During the 80's I had a fantasy every guy at my future office would look like Michael J. Fox. I also learned the importance of doing market research from this movie and how not to behave at a corporate retreat.<br />2. Working Girl<br />I learned that great ideas can come from tabloids and that MBA's don't use tabloids to generate new ideas and therefore, reading gossip can be a great way to get ahead in business. I also learned that shorter hair makes you look more professional.<br />3. Swimming with Sharks. This taught me how to deal with a bad boss. I won't reveal my secrets here.<br />4. 9-5. Align with the ladies to beat the boys.<br />5. The Devil Wears Prada. I always side with Miranda Priestly in the movie. It's okay to be a decisive powerful and influential woman. Anna Wintour is really my real-life role model.nycbabylonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09166312594191149752noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049116.post-83385804817772469512010-07-15T23:30:00.000-04:002010-07-15T23:31:29.028-04:00The Long Island Terracecast<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href=" http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=73330508"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkL7kbDO3udkANId9kjxX9fD32odUZ5e5sjKsQwaSAlvbgnLbII5M7zajLIRY_qZWwA0Oo0fOuft-WrvFfgyBd7aqDrMdECYCuFj94b7Hbt4ndEkAoZlzB_9UD3Qp5YvrCh7zIMQ/s400/art.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492865103800181474" /></a>This podcast, we're live on tape from a second floor terrace in beautiful, but kinda noisy, Long Island.

The only award the movie wins is that Sarah Jessica Parker is will now be given the honorary MADAME HALL OF FAME award. Throughout her costume changes, she exemplifies all the glamour of the greatest marionette of all time, MADAME. From her makeup to her headscarves, Sarah Jessica Parker's wooden self-centered acting throughout the entire movie will remind you of the beauty and fashion of Madame. Congrats, SJP.nycbabylonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09166312594191149752noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049116.post-5714692988097615112010-05-26T00:33:00.003-04:002010-05-26T00:54:17.281-04:00Turn the Light OnI have a female friend who insists that men "settle down" when their "lights are on." Well, I think we are in the season where men inexplicably have turned their lights to "green." I had two male friends TODAY who in the past have self declared themselves as "eternal bachelors" admit they they are settling down for women they barely know. One is 50 years old and told me this morning that he is marrying a woman that he met through a friend on facebook three weeks ago and he is marrying her in a city hall ceremony NEXT WEEK. This blew my mind before 10AM. Then tonight, I had a male friend who is in his mid-40's s that he is allowing a woman to move in with him that he met two months ago on Nerve. Perhaps I'm skeptical and jaded and all I saw were red flags flashing as they confessed their new-found loves. Or perhaps, my friend's "lights on" theory is correct. Or perhaps it's seasonal. I'm not sure and only time will tell. I wonder when my light will turn "on." I'm fascinated by the functionality of the male mind.nycbabylonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09166312594191149752noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049116.post-46562900050134059162010-05-24T19:11:00.002-04:002010-05-24T19:24:19.144-04:00Parenthood<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbbIyYfxgSp2eTEQFx0dJr-HUdlFW3n9bfUwYmOiBjvJyy98rRZBlejrMZS9vkMYjP6u26R-TLEVB3zG5eDr_BLEBs8p55oKavCbaqvdsP1CR9OF5x82Yeq7Lhbl_q6m6_csMJ/s1600/cag.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbbIyYfxgSp2eTEQFx0dJr-HUdlFW3n9bfUwYmOiBjvJyy98rRZBlejrMZS9vkMYjP6u26R-TLEVB3zG5eDr_BLEBs8p55oKavCbaqvdsP1CR9OF5x82Yeq7Lhbl_q6m6_csMJ/s320/cag.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474981400625872930" /></a><br />In case you are wondering who in the hell watches Parenthood, well, it's my mother. I called her last week and she scolded me for interrupting her during the show. I didn't know this was one of her "shows" but now I do. When I got my period for the first time in the early 80's, I remember coming home from sax lessons and seeing a pool of blood soaked through my cordoroy boy's Levi's. Any middle schooler still wearing boy's jeans is going to be freaked out by the first flow. Anyway, I starting screaming and my mom told me to not bother her. "What's the matter? I'm watching Cagney and Lacey," she yelled across the hall. And, people wonder what is wrong with me.nycbabylonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09166312594191149752noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049116.post-2269642442185650462010-05-19T23:27:00.001-04:002010-05-19T23:29:14.996-04:00Vacation DayI want to go on a safari. I never had this desire before until today when I spent my vacation day in bed and at my storage room. I want to go on a luxury safari where someone carries my stuff, I wear a complete safari wardrobe and I get to see elephants and lions. I don't want to go by myself.
