         <title>Barney&apos;s Warehouse Madness has Begun</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Rather than Valentine's Day, which is lame no matter where you stand on the spectrum of involved-ness, let's think of today as <a href="http://www.barneys.com/b/staticPage.s?path=static/&amp;fName=promos">Barney's Warehouse Sale</a> Day. Yes, folks, it has begun, and we will drink to that, but let's not lose our heads. Racked has <a href="http://racked.com/archives/2008/02/14/live_at_barneys_sample_sale_wh.php?o=0">a report</a> from the front-lines this morning, (actually, they have about six posts so far) where shoppers were lined up, waiting to get inside. People! The sale goes until March 2. </p>

         <title>Fashion Week Recap: Toilet Paper Huge at Sean John</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.villagevoice.com/nyclife/0807,yaeger,79119,15.html"><img src="http://images.villagevoice.com/issues/0807/yaeger.jpg" align="top"></a></br><br />

<p>If you've ever attended the shows at Fashion Week, you know that reading Lynn Yaeger's diary about that experience is a lot more fun that partaking in it first-hand. This time around, Yaeger gets distracted by Forever 21, dissed by Diane Von Furstenberg, sees a boob at Betsey Johnson's show, and witnesses the unbelievable at the Sean John show: a model makes it all the way down the runway with toilet paper trailing from her shoe! Oh, the horror. It's too good. (This reminds me of when my sister would pray for the baton-twirlers to drop their stick during the Macy's parade.)</p>

<p>But the best part might be this:<br />

         <title>Project Runway Sucks</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.bravotv.com/Project_Runway/season/4/photos/photos/Episode%2010/gallery_images_Episode_10_24.jpg"></br><br />
<small>OMG, is that from American Apparel??</small></p>

<p>Here's the thing. I know I'm no great thinker. My entertainment choices are nothing to be proud of. If I had DVR, I would <i>probably</i> tape The Real Housewives of Orange County. When I see a heinous accident on the highway, my urge is to pull over and take photos. But Project Runway (which I love and will watch as long as it's on, despite the headline of this post) is beginning to offend my intellect.</p>]]></description>

         <title>Could Fort Greene be Home to a Really Good Flea Market?</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>The folks at <a href="http://brownstoner.com/">Brownstoner</a> have just launched a new blog, <a href="http://www.brownstoner.com//brooklynflea/">Brooklyn Flea</a>, documenting the process of opening their flea market, which is scheduled for April 7. This is also an opportunity for y'all to chime in with your opinions. We are excited to hear that the space, in the Bishop Loughlin schoolyard on Lafayette Avenue is big—40,000 square-feet. We are slightly wary of flea markets that give a lot of space to local craft-type stuff. Maybe it's just us, but we want vintage furniture more than anything else. But there should be room for everyone here, and we are rooting for a flea market renaissance!</p>]]></description>

         <title>Project Runway&apos;s Asian: Fierce but No Cigar</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.bravotv.com/Project_Runway/season/4/episodes/index.php"><img src="http://www.bravotv.com/Project_Runway/season/4/photos/photos/Episode%209/gallery_images_Episode_08_23.jpg"></a></p>

<p>Here is a picture of the mean Asian randomly sewing a bunch of denim onto the bottom of a jacket she probably snatched out of someone else's arms to begin with because, as she likes to announce, she's competitive. </p>

<p>Well, even though the fat guy made a dress that would only be appropriate for the love interest in a Color Me Badd video, he's hanging in for another week. It seems Bravo couldn't resist a bitch-off between Jillian and Victorya's heinous coat-dress-things. Jillian's might have been even uglier, but at least it seemed harder to make, and there you have it. </p>

<p>Other things that happened in this episode:</p>]]></description>

         <title>The Christmas List: Customized Air Max 90s</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>When we get bored of taking demented quizzes and playing scrabble on Facebook, we like to <strike>occupy ourselves</strike> waste away our life <a href="http://nikeid.nike.com/nikeid/index.jhtml?sitesrc=uslanding"> customizing fantasy sneakers on Nike.com</a>. For Christmas, we're hoping someone will read this and give us a $130 gift certificate to the website. Then, if we can ever stop revising the kicks, we will actually get to wear them. If anyone at Nike is reading this, we'd like to request that you bring back the infrared, which a wise sneakerhead friend recently described as "the best made-up color ever." There are some cool new design features, though, most notably the option to have crocodile- or alligator-embossed leather on the base and mudguard. </p>]]></description>

         <title>Project Runway: The Gastric Bypass Episode</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.bravotv.com/Project_Runway/season/4/photos/photos/Episode%205/gallery_images_Episode_05_pic02.jpg" border="1" align="top"></p>

<p>Thank God we only ever bet fake money, because we were positive the guest judge was going to be Kirstie Alley or Valerie Bertinelli last night on Project Runway. Instead it was a guy from the Gap. Boring!</p>

<p>So, after a couple of weeks of lame challenges, Bravo brought back the magic with a bunch of ladies who had been real fat in the eighties, then had slipped into comas for a few decades, during which they lost 50 or 100 pounds, and then they woke up, still wearing their favorite, now gigantic, heinous blazers from the Working Girl days. </p>

<p>Seriously, that's your favorite outfit? Now that you don't have to shop in the fat lady store, that's still your favorite outfit??</p>

<p>Anyway, the designer had to work with this crap and these not ideal models, and they came up with some bizarre shit. Hot transformer HIV guy had to leave because his mouth blew up like a Japanese cartoon character. It was sad and we were shocked that it didn't make us cry. Wilmer did cry, however. Unsurprising. He was so proud of his insane Fulton Mall outfit. Whatever. Pass the joint this way.</p>]]></description>

         <title>The Christmas List: Our Favorite Coffee Mug</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.bodanna.org/shop/products/assets/175_new.gif" border="1" align="TOP"></p>

<p><a href="http://www.bodanna.org/index.html">Bodanna</a>, the East Village's coolest ceramics shop/non-profit, is one of our favorite places to buy gifts, especially of the house-warming variety. The business is run with the help of inner city teens, who do apprenticeships in the studio and in the shop. And while we love a good cause, we wouldn't buy vases and mugs and bowls that weren't great-looking. Every morning, we drink coffee out of the Morning Mug, the perfect big, comforting cup. ($25 each).</p>

         <title>Project Runway: We Hate These People, and They Hate Each Other!</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.bravotv.com/Project_Runway/season/4/photos/photos/Episode%204/gallery_images_Episode_04_pic37.jpg" alt="" align="top"></br><br />
<small><i>Come and knock on our door...</i></small></p>

<p>So, last night on Project Runway, we learned that Wilmer Valderrama (a/k/a "Ricky") speaks fluent Modern Dance, which is closely related to the language spoken by crazy fucking art yogis, and therefore was able to communicate with Elisa by saying things like "sculpt the fabric". We also found out that the Korean Overachiever is a passive-aggressive freak, and therefore is poised to star as this year's villain. The fat costume maker went home, duh. Jillian is even skinnier than a model and dresses like she's the fourth roommate on Three's Company, yet somehow the judges found her designs "modern," and named her the winner. Donna Karan likes plain dresses. The squinty-faced serial killer guy did a Tim Gunn impression that made us long for the days of Santino.</p>]]></description>
