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!

San Francisco Bus Riders Offered a Quantum of Solace

Saturday, November 8th, 2008

It’s not clear how much solace they took though.

Click to expand:

This is a regular white and orange MUNI bus. Riders of a CultureBus, however, get all the solace they can take, as those buses seem to be empty of passengers most of the time.

It’s hard to see how having zero passengers on Culturebuses helps MUNI attain 75% of the Culturebus program ridership goals, but someone will explain that to us soon.

Probably.

A Fanned Mohawk Bleached Blond on San Francisco’s Haight Street.

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

It’s so nice to encounter kids today re-embracing the true mohawk style of hair design.

You see, that David Beckham with his fauxhawk copout has led some people astray. Imagine attempting to get a mohawk look without the necessary backcombing and head shaving! Mr. Beckham really has some nerve coopting legitimate punk style.

Three cheers for the real deal, seen at the recent 2008 Haight Street Fair:

    New Indiana Jones Movie a Huge Hit at the Castro Theatre

    Friday, May 23rd, 2008

    There was a time when a big movie like Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull would open at a place like the now-deceased Coronet Theater. But The Castro was doing pretty well  for itself last night with a packed house on the first day of the new Indy.

    Bullwhip? (Doesn’t everybody in San Francisco have one already?) Free.

    Costco drinking water? $.12 plus $.05 CRV.

    Fedora? $29.97 from Lucky Supermarket 

    Memories of entertaining the long lines of people waiting to get a good seat? Priceless.

    View from the balcony includes an old-skool organist and a proper chandelier

    Don’t forget to complete your Indiana Experience by purchasing LEGO Indiana Jones Adventures. All the cool kids are doing it!

    So turn up your hearing aid (if you have one, as the Castro Theatre’s sound system seems a tad on the quiet side) and get on out there!
