Paris Hilton Does San Francisco: Fairy Dust Now at Macy’s

Monday, November 10th, 2008

Everybody can use a little Fairy Dust, every now and then. And today you could have gotten your fix from Paris Hilton herself at the Union Square Macy’s. Check out what Reyhan Harmanci (Wesleyan ‘01) thought about the whole thing here. (”Sweet” AND “cloying” at the same time? Who’d have thought.)

Now aren’t you happy that American Airlines let Paris on the shuttle from LA to SFO with absolutely no ID this A.M.?  San Francisco wouldn’t have been able to bear another celebrity appearance cancelation today.  

The deets:

Paris Hilton Fairy Dust Collection: The enchanting new fragrance from Paris Hilton evokes the magical allure of a fairy tale with a sprinkle of Fairy Dust… every girl can believe her dreams will come true.

Bonus: Reviews of this new scent are in.

A bargain at twice the price.

And let’s all try to see Paris as Amber Sweet in the new movie Repo! The Genetic Opera - ’cause it’s “easily one of the worst movies of the year, if not all time.” Srsly, it looks awful.

Which notes can you detect? How did they fit all that smell into one little bottle?

Prisecco Accord, Pink Peony, Orange Blossom, Gardenia, Peach Nectar, Water Litly, Sueded Patchouli, Cashmere Musk, Vanilla Creme

Come back to SF soon, Paris!

How to Profit From an Election in San Francisco

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

Now hosting a polling place on election day isn’t the most lucrative way to spend your time. So, you gots to sweeten the pot, right?

A good way to do that is advertising, as we can see from this official polling station on 8th Avenue.

The Restless Doggie Diner Heads of San Francisco’s Mission District

Monday, October 27th, 2008

Poor Manny, Moe and Jack here were made to be to be affixed to a tall pole, not towed around endlessly.

These Doggie Diner heads are weary of life on the road. When will their journey end?

Ridiculous “Do It Outdoors” Truck Now Parking Illegally in Golden Gate Park

Saturday, October 18th, 2008

Of course you’ve seen the likes of this rolling billboard before. And maybe you’ve even met purported Do It Outdoors National Event Manager and model Gosia in San Francisco.

What’s new is that one of their trucks has taken to parking in spaces reserved for tour bus loading in Golden Gate Park.

Perhaps we’ll add “rolling billboard only loading” to JFK Drive?

Only time will tell.

Just What Golden Gate Park Needs: Billboards!

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

Hey look what was parked on JFK Drive in Golden Gate Park, soon to become a National Park, during Opening Night of the 2008 Outside Lands music festival. That’s right, it’s our old friend, the Do It Outdoors MGD Beer rolling billboard.

Except this time, it wasn’t rolling. It was parked in the same place for what seemed to be hours, emergency blinkers clickety-clicking away.

From Wisconsin with love:

Which is worse:

1. A rolling billboard driving around one block over and over again on the streets of San Francisco?

or

2. A rolling billboard parking in the same place for a long time in Golden Gate Park?

Does the Miller Brewing Company, maker of beer with “fruity, hoppy undertones” per its yuppified website, know how its product is being promoted over here?
