Last night, my boyfriend and I went to the Deity Lounge , a Brooklyn lounge that was just written up by the New York Times . We tried the trio of Kumquat Cupcakery’s savory cupcakes, and the salmon was our favorite. Keavy was also there with her friends, so we said hello. Drinking prosecco and eating cupcakes was a good way to cap a lovely weekend.

Vote for Matt for Sexiest Vegetarian!

March 18, 2010 – 3:45 am | by admin

7f60a8131fmatt.jpg 149x150 Vote for Matt for Sexiest Vegetarian!

[Matt Mims, sexy vegetarian.] Guys! My boyfriend Matt is a finalist in PETA’s Sexiest Vegetarian Next Door contest! I entered him (with his tacit approval) a few weeks ago as a sort-of joke, because he would never, never enter himself in a beauty contest (modest!). Now he’s made it through the first round of voting! Whoa! If he wins, he gets a trip for two to Maui, and I’m not going to pretend that wouldn’t be the BEST. Besides being intelligent, funny, and strikingly handsome, Matt is sexy by virtue of his washboard ribs. If you’re not convinced yet (don’tchya want me to go to Hawaii?), here’s why you should vote for him: 1. He is VEGAN. And HOT. (See photo.) Hey, stop looking at him like that, gosh! 2. He plays guitar and composes music for vegan art rock band HERE , with his twin brother, Dan, on drums. As you know, vegan boys/musicians rock, and we need to get the word out about more vegan bands. 3. He runs a vegan DIY music venue in Brooklyn with his brothers. 4. He’s the only finalist from NYC. Represent! 5. This vegan would be so …

Never enough cupcake ink

January 13, 2010 – 8:09 pm | by admin

cupcake.bmp Never enough cupcake ink

Y’all know I love cupcake tats, and I especially love reader-submitted images of their ink. Emmie sent this one in, inked by her boyfriend Anthony Guido at MacKenzie’s Tattoo in Carmel, NY. Emmie writes: “It is on my right arm, smack dab in the middle. I have a half sleeve on my left arm and will eventually turn the cupcake into a half sleeve. I will surround it with chocolates, candies, baked goods and such. I had seen a friend of mine get a cupcake tattoo, done by my boyfriend years ago, and fell in love with it. I finally got him to do it and couldn’t love it more!”

Weekend Cook and Tell: Going Solo

July 15, 2009 – 6:45 pm | by admin

bb5043b6f5alone 150x150 Weekend Cook and Tell: Going Solo

Photograph by Robyn Lee Last week’s Weekend Cook and Tell was all about going solo , cooking, eating, and dining alone. We wanted to hear all about what you eat when you are alone, whether cooking for yourself or eating out as a party of one. Some of you find it to be a bit of a chore, or even worse while others relish the prospect of a meal alone. Here is a selection of some of our favorite responses: Malecki took this challenge as an opportunity to eat all of the things that his boyfriend isn’t a big fan of. Take a look at this salad : rare steak, runny eggs, and a dirty martini? I think malecki’s boyfriend is missing out! Betteirene uses her solo nights to splurge on ingredients that might be too pricey for a crowd, such as a porterhouse or a nice piece of halibut. Cooking…

overheard on walnut street…

July 13, 2009 – 11:42 am | by admin

On Saturday, Walnut Street, one of Philadelphia’s busiest shopping avenues, was closed to traffic for a festival. The weather was picture-perfect, so everyone emerged to soak up the sun. As Omniman and I passed Lush , I overheard a girl behind us, reading their sign aloud… “Fresh, handmade cosmetics,” she commented to her boyfriend. “Now that’s scary.” What’s really scary is that she didn’t seem to think that “machine-made, synthetic cosmetics” were scary. What this girl doesn’t know could hurt her. Most mass-produced cosmetics contain carcinogenic and/or toxic dyes and preservatives. And if that’s not bad enough, many major cosmetic firms still test on animals. How do your cosmetics rate? The Environmental Working Group analyzed countless cosmetics and put together this handy database . Search by brand, ingredient or company on SkinDeep . Rewind to the street fair. At 18 th and Walnut, Rittenhouse Square swarmed…
