Sad Sacks in the City

Caught the last 10 minutes of Lipstick Jungle. It sucked.



The show's only saving grace?

Andrew McCarthy



The thing about Andrew McCarthy (despite my undying love for his wet noodle performance in Pretty is Pink) is that he is a big pussy. And from what I gauged, watching the last few minutes, was that Mr. McCarthy was Ms. Bushnell's new Mr. Big.

Big mistake? Maybe. But the entire show just seems to be a melodramatic bore so pinpointing the root of the show's suckdom isn't worth my time.

Before that, I was set to chat with Travis from Gym Class Heroes for my Huff Po blog but jetted after 5 minutes because that party was just too wack for words.

Corny bald man on the coat check line: Whoa, are all you girls from Jersey?

Tacky girls: yeah

I grabbed my coat and left.

Preceding that, I had just made it in time to see Jayson Brunsdon's show at Bryant Park. Cute but kind of patchwork-y. Saw for the third time a fuschia-haired make-up artist.

First time I saw her was at Tracy Reese this past Sunday. Second time I saw her was at Rodnik's show at The Box that Sunday night with BGA.




A rock show within a fashion show with the designers performing rock music and proclaiming that they are "not a rock band".

Whatever.

That night, at The Box's coat check, I recognized another familiar face that I had seen earlier at Curly's Diner. Bruno Wizard.

Bruno: It was 25 years ago that I had a dream where I saw letters in the sky burst in flames. It spelled something. And, that was the chorus of my song.

His breath smelled like dried-up, dead veggie burgers.

Earlier tonight, I stopped for a glass of champagne at the lifebooker event where people were getting their eyebrows tweezed in dark corners, their faces sprayed within inches of a tanning gun under awkward lighting, while papabubble candies were strewned about throughout the Kiss and Fly space.

Security guard: Ma, you leaving already?

Yummicoco: Yeah, but you never know I might come back.

Security guard: Anyone who says that never means what they say.
