• Kelly Cutrone’s: If You Have To Cry, Go Outside (And Other Things Your Mother Never Told You)

  Thursday, June 17th, 2010

  Over the weekend, I curled up with Kelly Cutrone’s new book–and unlike any book in a long time, I read it cover-to-cover in one sitting.  Already a fan of her ballsy PR techniques, I knew I’d be fascinated by her point of view on the industry.  What I didn’t expect was to completely relate, to [...]

  Although I don’t currently have cable (thank you Hulu.com), I definitely still watch my fair share of TV, and more specifically reality TV.   While its seems that “trashiness” is the prerequisite of a successful reality show, I’ve always been fascinated by the personalities, relationships and interactions of the “real people” on these shows and love [...]

• RECAP: Exchange Bar & Grill opens in Gramercy

  Friday, April 9th, 2010

  It’s been a total treat to work with a client that it literally just steps from both my apartment and my office.  Even better is that it’s a restaurant client which means it’s been saving me from my sad routine of Lean Cuisines for at least one dinner per week as of late!  My new [...]

• Who will face the music? PR frenzy heats up over Adam Lambert and ABC

  Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

  As with every major music award show, there is always one defining moment that gets America talking at the water cooler the next morning and forever solidifies itself as a defining moment in “pop culture” for years to come.  In 2003 we had the infamous Britney/Madonna kiss, in 2004 we had Janet Jackson & Justin [...]
