Current Fashion Trend/Obsession

We spotted this trend last night & we liked it!


This has to be the latest trend right now, Silly Bandz bracelets. These rubber bracelets come in different shapes and colors. Once you put them on & take them off they turn back into their original shape...too cool. The whole idea behind these bracelets is to collect them, wear them and trade them. Kids are rockin' them so much that they have been blacklisted at some schools. They're just bracelets...come on!!!

Personally we are rocking the princess set as seen above. They can be found anywhere, RiteAid, Duane Reade, Amazon.com, & ebay.com.

Just to let you know how hot this item is, there is currently a set of Hello Kitty Silly Bandz on ebay for $1,200.00.

S's Birthday Party - The Delancey


S's birthday was celebrated at The Delancey roof deck located at 168 Delancey Street, Lower East Side. B picked up S at the nail salon with KL, the three of them took a sketchy black cab down to the LES. As we moved downtown in our town car S's birthday crew was busy putting candles on her mini cupcakes. We pulled up to The Delancey and rushed inside to be greeted by Mumm, Whit, Justinien & ALiu with 36 cupcakes on fire! S quickly made a wish only to be tricked by trick candles...thanks Mumm. We laughed as the candles quickly melted into these tiny cakes only be lite again and again and again.

Shortly after we all indulged in pumpkin, sunshine, & black & white...just right cupcakes we headed to the bar. We quickly learned that they were having a $5.00 BBQ, yum! We had burgers, hot dogs, and potato salad, not bad for $5 bucks. Every Wednesday!

The space is actually great. Since the weather report said there was a 90% chance of precipitation we knew the roof deck idea might fail but luckly The Delancey has a retractable roof. That was fantastic except for the fact that they also had a huge grill on, so the air inside the space was...let's just say smokey, as noted in the photo. The set-up was intimate and it allowed us to stay within our group. We had a great time catching up.

Roof Deck:
Space - good for parties, nice view, LES crew
Music - dead

After we drank upstairs we decided to take our party downstairs to enjoy some A/C. We were greeted by Scooter Pie from Sugar Shack; burlesque dancers that perform ever Wednesday, who knew?! Their show is called "Shaken & Stirred" and we definitely got that impression. Definitely some talented ladies, but we were turned off by the creepy men who thought 2 girls dancing around on a stage was hot. The show started around 10:30. The first girl was tall, pale skin, and thin. She did a cute number which ended with her in her red undies & tassels. The 2nd girl, we won't mention her at all. Loo, S, B, & Justinien had some great laughs as they imagined S showing up to work wearing only tassels on her boobs and making copies...hilarious.

Downstairs:
Space - could be good for parties
Burlesque Show - good idea but let's try to keep the creeps out
Music - Michael Jackson - Don't Stop Til You Get Enough & Little Richard - Tutti Frutti

Current Fashion Trend/Obsession

We spotted this hot trend last night & we liked it!


We are all starting to look like clones once again. Designer T shirts in every color, shape and size paired with something ridiculously tight, dark, and sometimes flat out ugly! It seems, at times, ugly is in.. much to our hearts disdain.
Enough of the hard edge, dirty, bad girl look. The individual sporting this look last night just looks contrived and the masses cloned. It has lost the intrigue of its origin.
Time to freshen up your look and let it evolve!!!!
For us it is now all about soft, femme, a touch of old Hollywood, a twist on classic, and a dash of edge. It is all in the subtle details.

Jimmy Choo - Glitter Flats
Essie Nail Polish - Vermillionaire

Obviously a classic herve with a gorge bod will never tire anyone's eyes.

S's Birthday Dinner with B!

We sat down to dinner with Naughty By Nature's O.P.P blaring over the stereo. Don't get the wrong idea, we love a good NBN song any day - just a little unexpected at a Pan-Latin restaurant. Maybe the typical Sergio Mendez, Girl from Ipanema, song was a bit too typical? Maybe they wanted to shake it up a bit; our only thought was that this might turn into a club at any minute!

So we ordered the following:
Guac Tipico w/Lime Cilantro & Shaved Red Onion - $11
Ensalada Verde w/Manchego & Papaya Ginger Vinaigrette - $8
Bacon Wrapped Dates - $7
Yellow Tail w/Asian Pear & Citrus Jalapeno Dressing - $16
Pollo al Carbon - $19

B made a money menu choice by ordering the Guac - the shaved red onion was just the right amount. Who seriously wants onion breath? even if we weren't kissing any boys last night.
Also, the Pollo al Carbon, as the main course, was super moist and full of flavor. It usually comes with potatoes but they were nice enough to switch it for cauliflower, delicious but covered in butter.

So the Bacon wrapped dates were a suggestion by someone off of FourSquare and we will not be reordering them. Actually, a good portion of the menu has bacon listed as an ingredient to the dish. If you're a bacon lover - you'll totally enjoy, if not - stick with the Ensalada Verde for your app or main - it's enough for either.

Agua Dulce - excellent space, Tanteo tequila, good bar scene, food - let's just say you won't be seeing us dining there again :-(
TimeOut Magazine review - not nice

Happy Birthday S!!!!
