Sure, there are a lot of cupcake stores now (there’s even one in Santa Monica Mall food court) but Sprinkles will always have a special place in my heart. Why’s that? Because they know how to celebrate the holidays. For Valentine’s Day, “the Original Cupcake Bakery” is offering something that’s even sweeter than the standard…

Places I'll Never Show My Face in Again: Bloomingdales M.A.C. Counter
Since I now live down the street from Century City, I find myself frequenting it a lot more than I used to. Instead of going there once a year, so far this month alone I’ve gone three times. It’s all redone and fancy now with its brand-new cineplex and swanky food court, and new stores…
Last-Minute Ticket: $199 R/T to New York City
Flickr Shot by dotsara Man! I wish I could do this. American Airlines has a special on last-minute fares to NYC for this weekend (January 19-23). Only $199 roundtrip if you wanna do up the Big Apple this Friday/Saturday. Just book by Friday, January 19. I totally would go if my parents weren’t coming down…
24 Season Premiere Screening Party Ideas
Woo hoo! Tomorrow night is the 2-hour season premiere of 24! The country is in peril and only one man can save us…again. Jack is back after his unceremonious departure in Season 5 when he was abducted and thrown on a slow boat to China. And we, 24 fans, had to wait seven long months…
Places-I'll-Never-Show-My-Face-in-Again Twins Up for Grabs
Remember them? Months ago I wrote about how Shutterfly sent the wrong picture to my mom for Mother’s Day. Instead of an old family portrait she got a 16×20 portrait of unknown twin babies taking a bath. Well, I have been trying to get my hands on this odd canvas picture ever since then but…
Gift Idea: Truck & SUV 2007 Calendar
For no reason in particular, check out this Great Truck and SUV Shots ’07 Wall Calendar ($15.99). OK, I lied. That’s me on the cover and also in the November shot, doing my impression of a paparazzi-plagued It Girl. Heh. So yeah, that’s not my car or my dog (although Little Tino isn’t as annoying…
Perpetual Kid: Toys for That Party Girl in Your Life
When I first pulled up Perpetualkid.com, I literally squealed with delight. “Entertain Your Inner Child” is this site’s tagline, and with marshmallow shooters (that’s right, a toy that shoots mini marshmallows) and Play-Doh cologne they ain’t kidding. It really is a site that can easily turn any workplace into a playground. There are a lot…
Get a Jump on Black Friday: Camarillo Outlets' Midnight Madness Sale
Flickr Shot by Matt McGee I myself am not a hard-core shopper. Never lined up outside a store waiting for it to open, open, open and never battled through a Black Friday. But for those into that sorta thing, the Camarillo Premium Outlets way the hell up in the nether reaches of the 101 will…

Places I'll Never Show My Face in Again: Coyote Ugly Saloon
Wow, three PINSMFAs in quick succession. I’m on a bitchy roll. But this had to be said even if it is in Vegas. Coyote Ugly Saloon is only a good place to go to if you’re a single 20-something guy who just can’t get laid. Go to Coyote Ugly where there are plenty of writhing…
