It’s amazing how the tabloids have done a 180 in regards to Kate and William. Now Kate is living embodiment of all that is good about the UK. Dog whistling at its finest. 

The headline from DefenseNews earlier today sums it up:

Bar dismissing Mueller's letter to him as "snitty" and "probably written by some underling" was a nasty bit of business.

I’m happy for you that you can see the lighter side of this, because I can’t.

Would those be the same ones you had taking care of the Bonwit Teller panels?

I don’t think she failed, the system failed her.

This is 100% true, and is a position that organizations are pushing DA’s to take around the country—not sure what is so astounding about this concept.

weird how many people who aren’t good at anything think that they are qualified to comment on fashion.

This will be buried and it doesn’t matter because I didn’t actually meet him, but I was taking the NYC subway to work and walking down that loooooong underground path between the 1/2/3 and N/Q/R/L lines at 14th Street when I saw Tim Gunn walking past me. I - a Project Runway obsessive at the time - did the first and…

Here’s another good one from those days:

I lived in New York awhile, as one does, and had a few silly encounters with celebrities. Here are the top four, weirdness-wise:

My husband does standup. When he opened for Hannibal Buress, he gave my husband money. He said he knew they don’t make much. No one else does that. 

I’m at the NBC studio store in New York. It’s maybe 1999? My favorite cousin was a HUGE Friends fan. I barely know Friends myself (I didn’t even own a TV at the time, because of being poor). So I went there to buy her some merch. I chose this giant Friends Central Perk latte mug. Seemed like a fun gift!

I’m leaving the…

I’ve told this story before, but in another context. Ten or so years ago, I was at the town market in Woodside, CA. Woodside sits mid-San Francisco peninsula and is home to some of the richest people in California. I grew up near there and often run into people I knew from grammar school, high school and college. Ahea…

This is old hat now, but when it happened in the early aughts, it was novel enough to win me a “weirdest celebrity chef encounter” contest on the then-recently-launched Eater.

This isn’t really a Hollywood one, but interesting enough. I’ll try to do this without doxxing so I won’t include dates.

I was 19 ( the year 2005) in New York city with my cousin and her friend. We were in Central Park. I was lost in my thoughts and slightly ahead of them not paying attention. My cousin grabs me as I am about to walk in front of some cyclists (really was my fault for not looking before crossing the bike path). She and…

I somehow scored an invite to the Black Panther premiere after party in New York and grabbed my cheeseburger and a table right by the entrance. I don’t get starstruck but I’ve loved Chadwick Boseman since 42 and as he passed by, my friend saw my mouth agape and quickly said to him “my friend loves you, will you take a…

I used to have a job that routinely brought me into contact with celebrities, especially politicians, pundits, and journalists. The funniest was when I went to shake Bob Dole’s hand and he just looked at me and said “Uhh...I’m kind of a lefty, son.” But my favorite was when I told G. Gordon Liddy to go fuck himself.

Ooh this is my best friend’s story but he gave permission to relay. As a young gay NYU college freshman he discovered nightlife like ya do, and one night he is outside a bar smoking when suddenly he notices John Mayer walking towards him. Being a drunk idiot, my friend points at him as obviously as he can and tells…
