Hello, Kitty

 

A few weeks ago, I admitted to my adoration for Hello Kitty. Co-workers past and present mocked me. Whatevs. It’s not like I’m really into something lame, like say, grammar. Anyway, the word from MAC cosmetics today is that they’re partnering with Sanrio, the company behind adorable kitty cuteness, to create a Hello Kitty [...]

Never Again Do The Walk of Shame

 

We’ve all been there. Two too many drinks on a Tuesday night and you wake up queasy and greasy Wednesday morning on a strange couch wondering why you ever though chugging Irish car bombs on a week night was a good idea. And then you realize that there is no way you can escape this [...]

From Beth, With Love

 

Do y’all know Beth? She’s our fan-freaking-tastic video intern. She spends her weekends talking to strangers about what they’re wearing and why and convincing them that they totally want to be filmed for philadelphiaweekly.com.

Shameless Self Promotion

 

I mentioned this earlier, but this year I was in charge of PW’s annual gift guide. (Translation: I got spend two full days shopping instead of working.) It’s out today. Pick one up in any of the 80 billion yellow boxes around town.
My favorite item—the one I’m feeling actual pangs of guilt, actual sadness about [...]

Sock Regression

 

After 12 years of Catholic school, I swore up and down that I would never wear a pair of knee socks ever again. But does that vow count if the socks are thigh-highs? Fuck it. It’s my vow and I’ll break it if I want to.
I am in love with these thigh-high socks from American [...]

Obsession: Botox Videos

 

This video profiles Madonna’s botoxer! “While your lip is numbing, we’ll botox your neck!” “I can actually taste it at the back of my throat.” “This really hurts.” and “I’ve now had enough botox to paralyze a small dog. Why do we do this to ourselves?”
