The coolest bully on the playground//Quotes, by Anthony Bourdain

Possibly one of the best, sharpest, most intellectual slap-in-the-face rants I’ve ever read comes from the vinegar laced mouth of the singular bully-on-the-block Anthony Bourdain. One would be hard-pressed to disagree with most of his seemingly curmudgeonly and cantankerous remarks as his arguments are so well formed, it puts Executive ADA Jack McCoy to shame:

So very glad//Thakoon diffusion line

I am so very glad I bought this Thakoon for Target Shibori dress before it sold out. Yes, so very glad. Michelle G’Obama’s fave designer really came through with this line – I deem it the best diffusion line yet – resort wear meets affordability meets quality. Oh, HI. It will be perfect to wear [...]
