Risë Birnbaum & the Buzz

Bars & Stripes For Ravi

I’m a NJ native and have friends who went to Rutgers.  They were all good kids and even better adults.  And I still consider Rutgers a solid school with less ivy than Princeton, but less drinking, too. Boy, was I shocked when I heard about this kid who threw himself off the GW Bridge because he was outed on video… Read more →

Trout Pouts

Listen.  I like to look good, but what’s with the stung-by-hive-of-bees lip look? Are these women crazy?  Does Kris Jenner think she looks good with a lip that looks as if she smacked it against the pavement doing about 30 mph?  How about Lindsay Lohan?  Meg Ryan?  Lara Flynn Boyle?   Have they looked in a mirror lately?  Didn’t they all… Read more →

Location Mobile Marketing

One of my favorite websites to kill time on is When Parents Text. It’s pretty self-explanatory.

I first noticed Iron Chef about 10 years ago when I… Read more →

Honestly, this is not something I would have noticed had the media not drawn so much attention toward it. I enjoy the show because I relate to it and because it’s hilarious,… Read more →

STARVED FOR FASHION?

So, Urban Outfitters has this brainstorm to sell a new tee with a six-pointed star very similar to the patches the Jews were forced to wear in the Holocaust (yes, Mel, there was in fact a Holocaust). And not only is this piece of drek tee being sold, but it’s also being sold at a $100 price tag. Have we… Read more →

Want. Need. Love. Wanelo.

A couple weeks ago I was introduced to Wanelo, which comes from the three words WAnt NEed LOve. It’s a lot like an online shopping mall, minus the food court. My obsession for food has actually been replaced by Wanelo. I’m surprised it isn’t more popular. According to the site, “Wanelo is a social store curated by the community. Users… Read more →
