I Decode Details Magazine's "Night on the Town"

Details Magazine ran a feature entitled "The Best Clothes for a Night on the Town."

Rather than simply tell me what outfits to wear when I'm headed out for a burger and karaoke, Details decided to show these ensembles in their own environment--namely hipster get-togethers and 'True Blood' viewing parties.

They were practically begging me for captions...

...So I obliged.

(From Left to Right) Stan is feeling awkward in his Etro shirt and Och tie--should he have worn the Och shirt and Etro tie? Good thing "uncomfortable" is the new "sulty." Meanwhile, Megan is tripping hardcore while wearing a fabulous Open Ceremony dress. She's imaging that she's back in Bali on Spring Break waking up in a new motel courtyard every night. Uh oh, somebody forgot to tell Antonio that mesh shirts are a big no-no (even if they're Prada). Once he's done calling his Pomeranian over, he's going to have to leave. Larry's in the back getting really into the music, while Ziggy (aka Bruce) starts to mack it on the girl nobody knows, because she's a con artist looking to score a kidney before the night is done.

(From Left to Right) Bruno looks over at Thad dressed in Tom Ford, and is instantly infuriated that he's not the biggest piece of Eurotrash at the party. Meanwhile, Von sips his ginger ale and keeps hoping somebody will notice how much weight he's lost since Christmas.

(From Left to Right) Cristiana pulls off the Rich Girl Flip--tossing your hair back while looking completely disinterested in everything around you. Matt notices this, but he also knows she's no match for his Armani polka dots, his lite beer, and his Harry Connick Jr. haircut. Meanwhile, his buddy Joe ponders life.

(From Left to Right) Eve doesn't need to have her eyes open to know that everyone's looking at her and wanting her sooo bad. Neil has decided to go barefoot, because he knows the only thing Skip loves more than his blue blazer is well-groomed feet. Meanwhile, Ricci is hoping Max notices his elbow delicately touching Max's knee. Sondra is looking at Ricci oblivious to the fact that he wants Max, and determined to have someone tell her she looks like a skinny Kate Hudson. In five minutes, they'll all go into a guest bedroom and participate in awkward group sex, except for Eve because they all think she's insufferable and that she cries too much.

(From Left to Right) Rico hits on Stacey, while she pretends to be smashed so that he'll go away, not realizing it only leads him to believe that now is the time to strike.

Bruno performs a reenactment of the time he fought his father for his stepmother's love.

Once again, fashion proves--it's not just about how stupid you are, it's about how much you overcompensate for it by wearing clothes sensible people would never buy.

A List of People Who Can Go to Hell Now That I Can't Have Elizabeth Warren

So today was a rough day for everybody who isn't a @#$%-ing #$%hole. Let's just start there. If that upsets you, by all means, go straight to hell. This entire rant is going to be exactly what it sounds like. I am mad and I am going to exercise my right to BLOG ABOUT IT LIKE IT'S 1995, SO BUCKLE UP, BUTTERCUP. I really don't even know where to start, so let's just jump right in with the first person who comes to mind. Bloomberg, go to hell.  You really didn't have anything specific to do with today, but you can just go to hell for spending an ungodly amount of money on literally nothing.  I mean, you could have lit millions of dollars on fire and at least warmed the hands of the homeless, but instead, you made tv stations across the country that are already owned by Conservatives rich, so kudos to you and go to hell. Amy Klobuchar, I STUCK UP FOR YOU AMY.  I got into FIGHTS on SOCIAL MEDIA while DEFENDING your sorry, self-interested ass.  You know

Theater and the Outbreak

After last week's interview, a representative from a theater that recently experienced the results of opening too soon reached out to speak with me. I want to thank this person for coming forward in the hopes that it'll change some minds about what's safe and what isn't when it comes to the performing arts. Here's the interview: ME:  So this wasn't a full production or-- THEM:  No. It was us trying to do a little something for friends and donors. ME:  Who is 'us?' THEM:  The board of _____. ME:  And how long have you been on the board? THEM:  Three years. ME:  What was this going to be? THEM:  There's a, uh, beautiful park here in town, and we wanted to do an outdoor performance of a Shakespeare as a benefit, because, as you know, theaters are having a hard time right now paying the bills. We checked with the local government and the health department for the state to make sure we were doing everything the way we needed to in order to keep everyone s

People You Know Are More Important Than People You Don't Know

This post is in response to arguing with people--straight and gay alike--about a certain celebrity, whether or not she's an ally, if she's pandering, if pandering matters, and whether or not I'm an asshole. The last part is probably an enthusiastic "Yes" but let's reflect on this for a bit anyway without actually giving more time to an argument about a person none of us know, which is a crucial part of what I want to talk about. People you know are more important than people you don't know. I realize it's tricky in an age where we've never been closer or more engaged to our celebrities to keep in mind that we do not know them, they are not our friends, and while we may love them and stan and feel like we're attacked when they're attacked-- That is not true. That is not real. They are in no tangible way connected to us. Now, as someone who is obsessed with pop culture, I get that it's a little hypocritical for me to be making
