The Modern Age

It’s true what they say, distance makes the heart grow fonder. As the MisShapes packed up their weekly party, the New York news outlets came a-runnin’. Check out the press that was done about the last regularly-scheduled ‘Shapes and/or the book:
New York Magazine did a piece where they mainly interviewed Geo and revealed some more [...]

They said these good times couldn’t last, and I guess they were right because the MisShapes are hanging up their headphones and having the last ever weekly MisShapes party at Don Hill’s this Saturday. This week marks the release of their eponymous book, MisShapes, which features pages upon pages of fashionable party people (and the [...]

Ohhhhh yeah! According to Fashionista.com, Miss Leigh “Loveleigh” Lezark of MisShapes fame (infamy?) will be one of the faces of the new H&M ad campaign for this fall. Watch out for Leigh’s Blue Steel comin’ atcha. Can’t wait to see the results.

The NY Times doesn’t care if she’s modeling, all they want to hear about is how often she plays Guitar Hero. In a recent story about Guitar Hero Nights as a bar/club draw:

Others players, like Shandi Sullivan, a former contestant on “America’s Next Top Model” and a regular at Pianos, appreciate Guitar Hero more for [...]

I just got home from celebrating Village Voice scribe Tricia Romano’s 5th year anniversary of her “Fly Life” column at a fabulous party hosted at The Box. Ok, I’ll admit, I’ve had a little bit to drink right now, and I’m drogging blunk-ish. (Isn’t that sad? My instinct is to blog–even while slightly intoxicated.)

Sarah aka “Ultragrrrl” is putting on a benefit show to support two really great causes that put abused and abandoned dogs and cats with foster families. The flyer pretty much says it all:

Permanent Me, Bright Light Fever, Monty Are I, Photo Atlas, and Ollie from the Oohlas will perform. The gig is on MONDAY at [...]

I found this invitation to uber-socialite Tinsley Mortimer’s New Year’s Eve party particularly confusing…she’s hosting a shindig at Japonais, but the “special guest” isn’t so other similarly fabulous socialite, nor is it a famous movie star, but rather it is none other than America’s favorite emo punk rocker, Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy. What [...]

So as you might have noticed, for the last few months I’ve been Captain Super Boring, rarely going out to see *gasp* concerts and even less frequently going to dance/club nights of my friends. On one hand that makes me feel like a bad person, on the other hand I am an old lady and [...]

Man, today was the day for laughing at the concept of “fame”. It’s funny when people you know become well-known. When I saw this cover of BPM with MisShapes gracing the cover, I nearly pooed myself. I couldn’t believe it! What a twilight zone experience.

The article goes on to reveal that the MisShapes are working [...]

Last night I headed over to Rebel, which is *gasp* midtown east, making it my second night in a row in that neighborhood–which is kinda like a nightmare of mine. But I sucked it up in order to see the great Scottish band, The Cinematics, who I have gushed about 10x over on this site.
