The Filthy Youth

Ed Westwick from Gossip Girl is sorta in a band that not only doesn't suck, they're fucking AWS! Pretty classic sound:

They're not signed yet and don't have an album name. They don't even play anywhere really. They had one show at Santos a couple of months ago, but that was it. Their MySpace page is filled with Gossip Girl fans and really embarrassing reviews, but other than that I like them.

GUESS WHO'S NOT UGLY?





Since black guys love me so much why can't I get ones that look like T.I.?

Black dudes are my fat meter. When I'm plump they holler. When I'm skinny they don't even notice me. They've been hollering a lot lately and I'm a wee touch nervous about it.

MTV VMA report:

++ awes! ++

- Rihanna's zombie-goth Eurythmics opener.
- Christina Aguilera's Bladerunner look.
- Russell Brand opening with "Please elect Barack Obama on behalf of the world" just before calling George Bush a retarded cowboy who couldn't be trusted with a pair of scissors.

-- boo --

- Miley Cyrus
- Tokio Hotel singer looking exactly like Bjork.
- Kid Rock's feature performance (why does he get to perform wtih Lil Wayne? How much longer do we have to wait for him to stop being relevant? He's wretched).

10 Reasons To Leave New York On the Weekends

By Ramona Sidlo and Aviva Yael

1. MONTAUK ISN'T CRAWLING WITH RATS

2. TOURIST BUTT = WIDE LOAD

3. NOBODY "SUPPORTS THE SCENE" AT THE OCEAN AND WHO GIVES A SHIT ANYHOW? EMBARASSING.

4. SWEATY STREET MEAT ≠ FARM FRUITS IN THE CATSKILLS

5. NO MATTER HOW EARLY YOU GET TO A MOVIE YOU'RE STUCK SITTING FRONT ROW, THREE SEATS APART FORM WHOEVER YOU CAME WITH

6. THE SIGHT OF THE SAME 15 BLOGGABLE SCENESTERS EVERYWHERE MAKES US WANT TO MOVE TO A BIGGER TOWN

7. SMELLING LEMONS AND TANNING OIL IS NICER THAN SMELLING DEAD DOGS

8. BBQS IN THE HAMPTONS BEATS SNORTING COKE OFF OF ARTHAG NIPS

9. BRUNCH IS A THREE HOUR ENDEAVOR

10. THE BAR CRAWL BETWEEN THE FISH, BACARO, AND SWEET PARADISE IS THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE OF NEW YORK

Missbehave

Check out the new Missbehave Magazine this month- its filled with good stuff.

Lesley Arfin is the new Editor-in-Chief. I think she'll cool the hell out of that magazine. She's one of the funniest, bitchiest writers I know and I love her book Dear Diary. It's hilarious and cringe-filled. I hope teenage girls copy her across the nation (post rehab, of course). Lesley also blurbed my book, which i hope you own by now. Its much better than this blog.

Here's my piece about Hanni El-Khatib, one of the only guys I know in SF who isn't a wigger or a skater. He's his own thingy. Ironically, Hanni is the ex-sorta boyfriend of my best friend Tasha.

The Virgins, on my blog, again. Shocker.

Before I mention anything else, I just want to say how relieved I am about Hurricane Gustav turning out to be nothing. For those of you who don't know, I was born and raised in the French Quarter on St. Phillip and Royal Street, and my mom lost her house in Katrina. Photographs, heirlooms, the whole nine. Its a very special place to me that will never be the same, and the anxiety of my tiny little mom being stuck in 14 hours of traffic just to get out of the city, having to leave all of her possessions behind- again- sort of ruined my Labor Day Weekend. I went out of town like everyone else, but I was anxious.

I returned last night for a party at Dave's beach shack and woke up this morning at 8am to work on the Virgins' video shoot, which I'll post pictures of as soon as I get them from Marissa. Crystal directed it, David Black shot it, and the awesome Gemma Corsano (one of my former employers at Wildcat NYC) produced it. I was hired to do production, but essentially ended up being Nick's masseuse and Benadryl/Diet Coke fetcher.

There is a really, REALLY scary ghost story about the location we were shooting. I will save it for the photo blog follow up.

I was an extra in the Rich Girls video, but I didn't make it into the final cut, so you can't see my beautiful face complaining about the smell in the background. Anyhow, it was filmed at LIT, the bar I used to work at. Ironically, I worked there in between touring with the band. Here's the video:
