no, actually the IZ zodiac cocktail tote is still the only one that visually combines astrology & cocktails. but EDYE SANFORD’S ZODIAC BAGS offer a nice “twist” with their zodiac printed cocktail party bags. ($24.99)

interesting story in the nytimes this weekend… apparently, blogging is a sport for the young! those over 50 are dropping like flies from the intense pressure of getting the latest scoop… it should be noted of course, that some blogging categories are more competitive than others.

for instance, one’s chances of making it past 50 are pretty good if one is blogging on the zodiac or drinking. it’s those news and tech blogs will end up killing you. read the whole story via the NEW YORK TIMES.

cocktails are hot. especially when in the hands of extremely hot women. in fact, this whole whole ad campaign is overly hot - thanks AGENT PROVOCATEUR! check out the lingerie brand’s interactive video here. or play their new PEEP IN PARIS video game here.

Nudes are my favorite type of art. The human body is so incredibly beautiful, and so incredibly repressed in our societies. kudos to Christiania vodka for sponsoring the NEW CLASSIC NUDE 2E ART COMPETITION, the second installment in a series of art competitions sponsored by the Christiania Art Foundation (CAF). apparently, christiania’s got great taste in both vodka and art…

here’s the best part… anyone can enter this competition! the rules are simple:
1. must be uploadable
2. must be submitted “free of use restrictions”
3. must be usable on a public billboard (approximate dimensinos are 60 x 40)

winners will have their image placed on a billboard in a major city. how cool is that? see rules and past winners here…

i have recently fallen in love with upcycled garbage! this bottle is one of many incredibly beautiful objets du art to cross my path that were rescued from our waste stream. only $150 A & G MERCH in brooklyn.

well astrology is getting just that little bit trendier every day… when THE GAP starts selling zodiac onesies you know astrology’s appeal is universal. $12.50; size runs only as far as 2T. BUMMER, i wanted to get one for my 4T niece. but then i found this website (probably the one that the GAP knocked off)…
OBEY THE BABY where they offer onesies, bibs and tees in the coolest distressed motifs. AND, they have the decency to go all the way up to size 4T! ($9-$15)

i hope not. keep in mind, when following THE COCKTAIL DIET, one must indulge in a sensible breakfast and lunch. dinner may be replaced with one cocktail. sure fire way to lose the poundage fast. add the MARTINI WORKOUT and you’ll be a super model in no time. but replacing dinner with five cocktails, and not eating breakfast or lunch period at all… well, that’s a problem! and it’s called DRUNKOREXIA. yup, the lastest eating disorder doesn’t involve literal starvation or pukey rainbow showers… THE NEW YORK TIMES reported last weekend that “self-imposed starvation or bingeing and purging, combined with alcohol abuse is the latest entry into the lexicon of food-related ills.” hmmnnn… here i thought that was just called partying hollywood-style.

these cute little coasters almost make me want to pick up the art of crocheting! almost. but, how cool are these? something to do with all those plastic bags, other than pick up the dog’s poo. download the free pattern, or order a custom made set at MY RECYCLED BAGS.COM

the martini workout is the perfect companion for the COCKTAIL DIET. combine the two and you’ll be a super model in no time. not hard to do, since cocktails are offered at the end of each class.
