Another One (Almost) Bites The Dust

May 30, 2010 | 11:43 AM | Shop & Style | By Carlyn Mumm

Apparently, American Apparel might as well start giving their clothes away because no one’s buying them (except for mustache loving twenty-somethings). With a record-breaking $17.6 million loss last quarter, this overzealous chain is facing loan default. By the end of June we could potentially be facing a world free of overpriced tube socks and racy awkward advertisements. Better stock up on your beloved V-necks and hoodies at these Valley locations.

So the good folks at the James Beard Foundation have weighed in with some (incredibly complicated) Memorial Day recipe ideas. However, one in particluar caught our interest: A potato salad recipe created by 19th century French author Alexandre Dumas. Who knew the author of “The Count of Monte Cristo” and “The Three Musketeers” was a foodie? »READ MORE

Though completely unable to resist the ease of monochromatic black work attire, we’re crazy about summer’s vivid, oversized accessories. The Casio G-Shock GA110 Watch is available in three blindingly bright shades to tastefully liven up your unadorned power suit. These sturdy, water resistant, digital watches are priced at a cool $120. Indulge in a little wrist candy is all we’re saying.

Friday Funny: Random Creepy Guy

May 28, 2010 | 2:13 PM | Art & Entertainment | By Meghan Luther

Looking through a stack of newly developed photos is an awkward game of Where’s Waldo? these days. Every couple or group shot has one, random lurker… just chillin’ in the background. Even better when said creeper is looking “nonchalantly” into the glare of the camera flash or DIRECTLY at the subjects of the photo. (Double creeper stamp for the latter move). Get ready for America’s Awkward Hall of Fame.
