an Apple a Day

I love the mac store on 59th and 5 ave, NYC. It's all glass so it takes up the least visual space in a city where there's visual stimuli overload.I tried to take photos of the glass elevator and the store with my phone but they came out lame. As usual.

Then I went to the apple store website. They have a VIRTUAL TOUR of the store that is INCREDIBLE!

Representing In the House

The Republicans won the house. Politically it remains to be seen how they do, but whatever major  party you support, it really doesn't matter in home decor.

Elephant or Ass, grey crosses the aisle and represents both political leanings inside your own house.

You can paint a wall Elephant Skin Grey (by Behr)

Use this elephant watering can for plants...  

...in the donkey planter.  

And congratulate your representative for a running a good, clean race with a new carpet stair runner in grey. 

Project Runway is WRONG!

Mondo Guerra - the designer that should have won this season's Project Runway.

According to Nina Garcia and Michael Kors, hacky sackers are uber-stylish. I vow never to pick up my first ever issue of Marie Claire now that I see Nina Garcia's hippy crap, granola, bohemian mom-with-batik-stroller taste. You guys were WRONG! Retire to New Paltz and you can see that crappy Gretchen Jones style for the rest of your years.

Zoo Spooks

The San Francisco Zoo's ad campaign to get kids to spend Halloween with the animals:

How awesome! What a cool way to spend the day if you can handle the crowds of screaming children. I can't so I will look at pictures of animals enjoying the holiday.

NYC Free!

FINALLY It's here! An iPod app that tells you what the colors of the Empire State building mean every day!

I can officially stop harassing the guard in the lobby with phonecalls at all hours of the night. Whenever the building changed its colors I HAD to KNOW what they stood for.I can die happy!

Thank God for TV this Halloween

This Halloween you know you will see some scary costumes. Most likely Jersey Shore references .

The Situation.

Snooki.

I'd like to see some Little People Big World (c'mon Kids)

or ShamWow Guy

My favorite, Sue Sylvester...

And what an opportunity with the Pregnant Trudy scene in Mad Men. Get your beach balls out!

It'll give us a break from the hundred of Lady GaGa's that'll be out scoring some candy!

Aveda to the Rescue

It has always been a mystery as well as an annoyance that, when Recycling a plastic bottle, the cap must head to the landfill. Most states do not have cap-recycling capabilities.

But I just found out that you can bring many Caps to an AVEDA store and they will recycle them for you!

They accept most shampoo, water, soda, milk and other beverage bottles and pharmaceutical lids, flip top caps on tubes and food product bottles (such as ketchup and mayonnaise), laundry detergents and some jar lids such as peanut butter.

Aveda is my new best corporation-friend! I am going to start collecting caps today and take a trip to the store when I have a nice collection.
