home is where the art is

despite the crazy huge snowstorm in new york on valentine's day, i made it from my apartment downtown to the MTV studios in times square for a "behind the scenes" story with TRL host damien fahey.

i got to check out damien's dressing room, watch rehearsal and hang out backstage during the show. drew barrymore was the guest, and she was absolutely adorable. so cute, so pretty, and so nice to everyone. even though there had just been massive layoffs, it still seemed like a cool place to work. everyone's young, casually dressed, goofing off and hugging each other. close-knit.

anyway, i didn't take any pictures, mostly because i had a photographer with me but also because my camera is knock knock knockin' on heaven's door. i can barely wait to get a new one. i think that pink sony hits stores next week. we'll see.

vd

this valentine's day i'll be going to a hot party, but not hosting one like i did last year.

what i really want for vd is something like this.



what i do not want? anything on this hilarious list:
radar's worst valentine's gifts

moroccan love affair

v.d.

single girls have to be their own valentines.

props to customrock for doing a great job.

a swingles party, a moroccan love affair.
a little smoking of the hookah, some "heart of africa" cocktails.

while not technically moroccan, to get into the mood, check out two of my fave songs in arabic:

natacha atlas - yalla chant

yalla means "come on."

natacha atlas - leysh nat'arak

gotta love the hip-hop vibe.





by the by, there would be no girlhattan without the inspiration of a super cool chick named jennifer smith, so i just want to give her a shout out. jennifer, if you're reading, email me!

love will tear us apart. again.

what i want to get for myself for valentine's day




(or this, or this).

what not i will not get myself (or anyone else) for valentine's day:





i might just get tattooed.

i've been checking out needled and inked and so on, but i'm pretty sure i'm going to get text.

text can be so gorgeous. especially when the font and the words are just right.

but of course part of me just wants to get black ink, shapes that swirl, sort of tribal, or maori, like this or this or - hey, wait - i think i found a new boyfriend! . but i would rather get a south pacific tattoo in the south pacific.

and part of me just likes looking at tattoos. and pretty pictures of tattooed people. no pain or commitment involved.




update: for some reason i couldn't post the link in the comments, that's why i had to delete a bunch... but you can see stars if you want - i feel like it's one tattoo with three parts and that makes it OK to get two more for a total of three....
