• Just An Online Minute... METRO Spoons GLAAD At 230 Fifth Party
    It's OK, you can admit it, we've all done it. Done what? Snarked under our breath about the after-work crowd at 230 Fifth. I've heard you say it, too. Starts with a D, rhymes with shooshbag? If you're a social networker anywhere near the Flatiron building, you've been part of that after-work crowd at some point, too. And it's OK. I'm here for you, because, not so secretly, I sort of enjoy it. You've got the black-dressed cocktailers, the "Magnum-P.I."-sunglassed bartenders, the bling, the bubbles... and last night this was augmented with a slender young fellow in a red Speedo-like …
  • Just An Online Minute... Beating The Heat With This Week's Social Calendar
    Big ol jet airliner/Dont carry me too far away! Substitute "jet airliner" for "greyhound bus" and you've got my life in a nutshell this summer. Constant go-go-go from NYC to other locations around the Eastern seaboard. And if I'm not leaving, people are coming. This past weekend I was back in Columbia, Md., or as people from Columbia say -- "Baltimore" -- for a fun-smooshed time. This week, which I've declared Happy Week based on my horrible attitude last week, I'm back in action and hoping to fill you up with good vibes and some good party action.
  • Just An Online Minute... Blazetrak Sneak Peek At AMP3PR
    I like sneak peeks. They make me feel special. Not as special as a Hollywood-style movie premiere (an unrealized dream I share with my little sister), but you know, I'll take what I can get. Last night I was starving after my banana-a-day forced diet, so I was hoping I would not only be taking a sneak peek at Blazetrak, a site "getting you closer" to the big time, but also food.
  • Just An Online Minute... A Swashbuckling Single Mingle With GiveandDate.com
    When I was a youngster, I was IN LOVE with Christopher Cross. I imagined, as I listened to "Sailing" and "Ride Like The Wind" that I would be immeasurably rich by now, wearing flowing white linen pants and sundresses, draped in gold, driving through some sort of weaving tropical highway with the wind teasing my Crystal Gayle-length hair into a knot of bliss.... I did find myself sailing last night with what may or may not have been a cluster of singles with their own ideas of the future.
  • Just An Online Minute... Sailing, Blazing, Picking, And Grinning - Typical Week
    Welcome back to Monday, friends, the day that introduces us to the workweek with a sneer. I'm sneering right back in my muumuu. It's not really a muumuu, but it's a shapeless "you can sweat in this and no one will be the wiser" air flow welcoming frock that I scooped up two years ago with the intentions of "cinching it" but never completed that step. It's working great today even though it makes me look like transgender SpongeBob. Which it totally fine by me. Let's see how I'll be keeping cool during this continuing Africa-hot (Biloxi Blues anyone?) week …
  • Just An Online Minute... BATting A Thousand At The Hill
    Oh, Murray Hill, you do not disappoint. Ordinarily I avoid Murray Hill because last time I was passing through I got burnt on my algebra teacher arm (you know, the tick-tock skin part) by a cigarette-wielding, slurring, fratboy wannabe. Why wannabe? Because he was at least 45, wearing a rugby shirt, and his cap was on backwards. If not 45, then a rough-looking 30. However, when I got the invitation to attend "The Next Frontier: Endorsement Marketing in the Digital Age" sponsored by Brand Affinity Technologies (BAT), Microsoft Advertising, Fox Sports and Centro, my excitement to actually walk to an …
  • Just An Online Minute... This Isn't A Story About The Twitter Outage
    I woke up this morning to grey skies and a sweet cool breeze sucked in by my window fan. I'm sure this is but a brief respite from what I like to call Swim Week here in NYC, where humidity has reached percentages immeasurable by the tools of man and deodorant has been rendered powerless in the face of such fierce perspiration. I'm not saying my deodorant, but I think we should all take this time to regroup and perhaps relaunch our antiperspirant strategy because I feel confident in saying that some NYCers may have built up a tolerance. I'm …
