J'ADORE TRASH!

Our friend and J'Adored artist, Adrian Kondratowicz, is totally turning it out in NYC right now with his latest installation.  What he's done is created brightly colored and polka dotted trash bags which are available for purchase through his site entitled TRASH: anycoloryoulike.  You use them as you normally would, and then on trash day, the street is filled with color and mayhem where there would normally be just a bland pile of black stinky trash bags.  Did we mention that the bags are also biodegradable and smell like BUBBLE GUM?!  J'Adore!!!

Adrian is doing his part in bringing attention to the environment and eco-responsibility while at the same time raising awareness for his fellow artists and the art industry as a whole.  For this we J'Adore him!

The next installation will take place on July 30th from 5pm - 12am all over the meatpacking district.  You must NOT miss it......and don't forget to buy some bags!!!

J'ADORE NEON PIRATES!

It's gotten to the point where we're just behaving incredibly selfishly.  The excessive use and waste of our energy and resources.  Plastic water bottles.  Plastic bags.  Consumer packaging.  Water pollution.  Noise pollution.  Air pollution.  We could go on and on.

We don't mean to lecture, but if we don't take responsibility now for our share, who is?  We're only destroying the planets for our children and their children.

Anyway, our point is that a group in Paris, France has taken action against the excessive waste of energy in the city of lights. What are they doing?  They're turning OFF the lights.  Check out the video and take a moment to think how you can do your part in turning it off.

JE N'ADORE PAS!

Ugh.  We have a BBQ to go to tomorrow, and we don't know what to wear.  We were thinking that we'd call our friends over at Dior to see if we could borrow the above outfit from the Couture F/W 08/09 collection, but we think it might be too casual.  We haven't decided.  We'll let you know.

J'ADORE RIDING THE SUBWAY PART DEUX!

We've been living in NYC for 12 years, and we see some pretty crazy shit on the daily but this one was a total first!  After we ran into rotten banana lady (see below), we got on the train again a little later in the day, and we spotted this freak.  WTF?  He's wearing an eye mask...ON THE SUBWAY!

We don't totally understand this on so many levels.  First, he's clearly a tourist cuz he's holding a subway map.  Secondly, tourists never travel far enough on the train to give them enough time for some shut eye.  Thirdly, we don't care if you're a tourist or not, but you DO NOT wear eye masks outside of your bedroom!!!

If we were a thug, we'd walk right up to him, snatch his bag of designer goods bought at Century 21, slap him upside the head like the bitch he is and then walk away.  He would never know what hit him cuz he's got a fucking eye mask on!

J'ADORE RIDING THE SUBWAY!

So yesterday, we got on the subway only to be sitting across from THIS vision of beauty. Mid-40s. Her fashion inspiration for the day was a rotten banana....black & yellow. Black eyeshadow. Bleached yellow hair. Yellow scarf on her head. Yellow and black striped polo. Black slacks and yellow suede heels. We were scared for about a minute or so, but then we realized that she was harmless, so we snapped this photo. We think she saw us, but we didn't care. We smash her down like the walking, rotting banana she is!

J'ADORE DOROTHY ZBORNAK!

We know it's a small photo, but we just J'Adored it too much to pass it up!

J'ADORE WTF?

We're not really sure what to say here. We mean look at her! The eyes. The hair. The cleavage. 

We can't believe she wore that pink shirt to a party!

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!

J'ADORE KICKING SCRABBLE ASS!

Last night, we were dropping the tiles on a FIERCE game of Scrabble with our total bitches, Abby Gardner and Alyssa Vitrano, because that's what we do now. Play scrabble and eat chocolate ganache cake! When did we get so old and boring?

Anyway, Abby dropped the word DOMES down, and I looked down at my tiles and saw the letters O-R-S-Q-I-T-A, and we almost lost it! Was Astrodomes even a word? Who cared? There was a triple word score at stake, and we were willing to take the risk.

Well, they did challenge the word, and it wasn't in the Scrabble word book which dated from 1998, but it WAS in the dictionary AND online as a valid Scrabble word, so I got to keep it. Unfortunately, it was only 39 points, but we weren't crying over it.

J'Adore Kicking ASS-trodomes!!!

JE N'ADORE PAS!

Thanks to BPW, we are TOTALLY stressed out this morning. Watch this video, and you'll understand why.  We would MURDER this man in 0.2 seconds flat.

J'ADORE SMART DUMB BITCHES!

Remember two years ago when we posted about dumb rubber bitches getting all stuck up in the claw machine???  Well, BPW has found a video of it happening LIVE!  We J'adore this because we still don't understand how this happens!!!

J'ADORE EXPOSED MORMONS!

Now they gone and done it!  Our favorite bitch, Claire Darrow, was researching some ideas for the 2009 Standard Hotel Calendar, and she came across this work of art....Mormons Exposed: Men on a Mission!

Ummm, where to begin?  

First off, the calendar title is clearly a play on words referring to the HOT ASS missionaries around the globe who have taken it off and defied God's wrath for the capitalistic gain of this polygamist cult!  Whoa!  Where did THAT come from?  We're really not that angry.  Trust us.

Secondly, they sell t-shirts too!!

Thirdly, if Claire doesn't put us in the 2009 calendar we're gonna have a freak out worse than this guy!

J'ADORE BROOKLYN BBQs!

We love BBQs, and we love making movies!  So here you go!  

Our latest masterpiece is entitled ELK BBQ.  No, we weren't grilling elk.  The title is in reference to our friend and hostess, Elisa's, initials!  J'Adore!

J'ADORE EATING WHATEVER!

Today, we had lunch with an old friend we met in Istanbul.  Her name is Jacqui.  Out of nowhere, she busts out with news that she had quit her job and started a small business!  We were like......WTF???  Who does that???

Anyj'adore... She went into her bag and handed us what we thought were birth control pills, but it turned out they were breath fresheners and odor neutralizers!  Jacqui went out and created a little green pill made organically of parsley and peppermint which will get rid of all crazy culinary odors (garlic, fish, truffles, etc...)! Who knew you could do that!?

First you swallow two of the green ones.  Then you suck on a white one while you wait for the green ones to kick in and do their magic! They're amazing, and you all need to get yourselves some because we can smell your breath all the way over here!

J'ADORE THE QUOTE OF THE DAY!

"The practice of meditation is represented by the three monkeys, who cover their eyes, ears and mouths so as to avoid the phenomenal world. The practice of non-meditation is ceasing to be the see-er, hearer or speaker while eyes, ears and mouths are fulfilling their function in daily life."  -Open Secret by Wei Wu Wei

J'ADORE CHARLIE THE ADULT REMIX!

J'ADORE CHARLIE!

J'ADORE THREE KITTENS!

J'ADORE MAN CLEAVAGE!

You remember our total closet case friend, Neil Rasmus, right? How could you forget him?  We just wanted you to check out his man cleavage in this pic!  Look at the way he's looking at us, wanting us with all his J'Adorosity.  Should we give him a chance? We're not sure.  It might ruin the friendship and that would destroy us.  We'll definitely think about it though.

J'ADORE NEW BEGINNINGS!

We haven't J'Adored you in a few days, and that makes us sad. We had an incredibly heavy weekend that began on Friday with a sushi lunch and ended on Monday with the decision to embark on a new journey....a new beginning of sorts.  We'll fill you in on that a little later.  It's not time to do it now.

Conversely, we also have been keeping ourselves from writing about the Closing of Restaurant Florent because it saddens us so much.  It was our home away from home for so long, but today, we found a photo which made us laugh.  It made us laugh because we can't imagine a more perfect way for Florent, which has been a meatpacking staple for over 28 years, to bid New York City adieu.  A simple action that speaks so very loudly.  

With its trademark humor, Florent has closed its doors and removed the letter L from its name in the window, letting the world know that the space is now available or "F orent".  Genius. Simply genius.
