BAR 23 OPENING SOON, WANNA DEEPWOOD FOR DINNER?

There is a new restaurant opening at the old Abracci spot and it's going to be called DW and DeepWood* READ THE ARTICLE HERE

Abracci didn't last cause they had a sh!teous chef who is somehow still employed. Not sure what is sooo fanf*ckingtastic about salmon woven with asparagus with hollandaise or a pigs brain terrine-this is the French Laundry John Beck

*Can they have skin-e-max night on Friday's?? only makes sense for a place called DeepWood(snickers)



BAR 23 on the cap at the old Jeffrey Thomas spot is having their INVITE ONLY opening next weekend April 11 and then their GRAND OPENIING will be sometime after that depending on how many kinks they have to work out. I'm still not 100% hope it lives up to it's curious hype.

NEW H&M PARTNERSHIP'S GONNA BE INSANE

Comme des Garçons' founder and head designer Rei Kawakubo will create thisautumn's guest designer collection at H&M. Rei Kawakubo, famous and admired for her creativity and artistry, will design a women's and a men's collection, with some pieces for children too. Accessories and an exclusive unisex fragrance willalso be included in the collection.
"I have always been interested in the balance between creation and business. Itis a dilemma, although for me creation has always been the first priority. It is a fascinating challenge to work with H&M since it is a chance to take thedilemma to its extreme, and try to solve it", says Rei Kawakubo, Comme desGarçons.
"Rei Kawakubo has been at the top of our wish list for a long time and we arethrilled that she has chosen to collaborate with us. We have tremendous respectfor Kawakubo's fashion philosophy of questioning fashion's ingrained patterns,and admire her artistic approach to design. We are particularly excited that thecollection will be launched in Japan, Kawakubo's native country, at the sametime as the launch of our new store there", explains Margareta van den Bosch,creative advisor, H&M.

The world launch of the collection will be at the opening of H&M's second store in Tokyo, Japan, in the beginning of November. Launch date for other H&M markets will be a few days later.

FAHMAZING since the prices will be lower-ish and AAAAAAAAAAAAH FAHMAZING!

WANNA RENT DENNIS RODMAN??

Why pay for a tag along to movie premiere with Scarlett Johansson to only be ignored when you can have Dennis Rodman to yourself-(i know hell to the yes!)

Via Thrillist

Started last week by a River North(Chicago) nightlife promoter with close ties to the ex-Bull, RR offers you a grab-bag of services from the actual Dennis Rodman, at prices so reasonable, Dennis Rodman could afford them. Naturally, it all starts with hoops: though Rodman wasn't known for his scoring touch, he'll still have plenty of wisdom to confer upon you during something as simple as a game of H-O-R-S-E (only $100 -- for the C-H-E-A-P, games of P-I-G are a mere $70). For the ultimate bromance The Worm will squire you around town via Harley, stopping at his favorite spots and offering advice on everything from dye-jobs to tattoo design, keeping in mind your interests and the fierceness of your physique -- because while a sunbursting fertility symbol might look great ringing the belly button of an ex-power forward, on you it will get stretched out to the size of the hoop.

RR's most valuable service is the one-hour dating consultation, where Rodman'll regale you and your crew with stories about bedding various celebrities from Madonna to Carmen Electra. By the time he gets to his bawdy tale of watching Titanic with Jerry Krause, your hour'll be up, and you'll be saved by the bell.
Check out all the services at RentRodman.com.

WHAT DID YOU DO FOR EARTH HOUR?

I have to say i'm a pretty consciencious waster. meaning I inadvertently leave the lights on somewhere but when I realize this, I quickly turn it off or do something to offset this. This past Saturday night was Earth hour and the purpose was to go dark for an hour for a good cause. DO you realize how significant electricity is to our existence. Usually I would be out drinking somewhere but I was hanging out with my siblings so we decided to play a board game. Before this my little brother had been palying his wii for half of the day-augh! After the one hour passed he was right back to the wii. Besides bringing awareness to the issue, how effective was that one hour??
Why did the Kids Choice awards go on during this time aren't the tykes watching thsi supposed to be the ones most concern about this issue? effing Viacom!





So tell us, what did you do for earthhour?

ESTELLE GETS LIPPY, AMY WINEHOUSE FOR CAVALLI AND OTHER ACROSS THE POND NEWS

Estelle gets Lippy

MTV and The Body Shop have joined forces and launched the “Move Your Lips” campaign, which includes selling a limited-edition Guarana Lip Butter for parched puckers to raise money for HIV/AIDS awareness. Proceeds from the product, sold in Body Shop stores worldwide, will go directly to the Staying Alive Foundation, the MTV HIV/AIDS charity, “which gives monetary awards to young people, globally, who run their own youth-focused HIV and AIDS awareness projects,”

Amy is the new darling of fashion. I really don't get it as it seems she needs a stylist to look put together-ish

She has already played muse to Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel and now Amy Winehouse's fashion star looks set to rise even higher, following reports that she's set to sign a deal to promote Roberto Cavalli. According to reports in the British tabloids over the weekend, the designer approached Winehouse after Victoria Beckham - whom he dressed for the recent Spice Girls reunion tour - confessed she loved the singer's style. He promptly offered her a contract whereby she would receive his clothes for free, in return for wearing them at high profile events. While the report is yet to be confirmed, Cavalli has made no secret of the fact that he digs Winehouse's distinctive look. "She has a real sense of style that I love," the designer said in a recent interview. "She is a fashion icon because she is unique."

Me thinks her stylist is the real icon here. I need Bristol to let me drink for free if I crawl out at 2:30 sweaty and twisted-and I will

"The next door neighbour was having a meeting about his latest movie with his agents. Distracted by the party they pop over to complain about the noise. So the girls invited them all over and decided to have some fun…" As provocative as we've come to expect from the label, the campaign photo - which was shot by Tim Bret Day - shows girls in stilettos and nipple tassels wreaking havoc with the men in attendance. http://www.agentprovocateur.com/
