SelfAbsorbed.ME : ‘It’s Your Life, We Just Write it Funnier’

Conversations at the Empire Rooftop

On one of my latest city romps, I found myself at the Empire Hotel Rooftop, a venue I’d never visited before since it’s above 20th street (try, 60th) and let me tell you – despite the extended taxi/subway ride, I’d been missing out. This place has a) Chill music that’s fun without being a cheesy 80s countdown [...]

Miami New Year’s Recap

Those of you who want to read about my enlightening New Year’s Eve dinner in which I saw both God and TI on the same night, can do so here. Next, we went to the Gansevoort, where a $300 ticket will get you a premium shelf open bar, a theoretical view of fireworks, and witness to [...]

Miami Night 1: Rok Bar

Those of you who want to do a quick catch up on my Miami trip can do so in installments one (the plane ride) and two (rowdy dinner). The first nightlife venue we frequented is a place called Rok Bar. As we mingled with the crowd of Rok Bar sidewalk hopefuls waiting to get in, I [...]

Stoliday Party

Last week, I started the holiday season off right by going to the Stoli Holiday Party at Cain-Luxe, the new Cain. I’d never been to Cain before, new or old. So, when Miss Model Behavior offered me her invite to the event, I beat down the little loser inside of me whining, “but Stylista is [...]

Reporting Live from Southside

Having friends in town often means you’re required to take them out, baller-style. As I escorted a good friend of mine around Manhattan in a merry-go-round whirl of old and new hot spots, I found myself increasingly bored with the ‘scene’ and decided to Live Twitter my night as a result. Those of you who [...]

Nightlife Crazy Fashion

No matter what your personal sense of style is, I think we can all agree that this shirt below is what one would call ‘eye-catching.’ I felt compelled to put my night out dancing on hold for the sole purpose of properly photographing it, for three main reasons: 1. I thought it was ballsy and she’s got [...]

Don’t Let NYC NYE Rip You Off!

I’m sitting across from a friend of mine who works in nightlife and my brain feels like it’s going into cardiac arrest when he begins telling me about the New York club’s New Year’s Eve system. His speech goes something like this: “Promoters and the companies they work for have to buy out an entire venue [...]

A Night of ‘Green’ Clubbing: Part 2: Sobriety

In Part 1, I wrote about my first experience at eco-friendly New York nightclub Greenhouse. What I didn’t go into is how this was my first nightclub experience since my decision to quit drinking. Yes. I wrote: Quit. Drinking. Quit drinking and you’ll find this is not an activity your friends support you in. Strange, right? Your friends stand [...]

A Night of ‘Green’ Clubbing: Part 1

It was only a matter of time before some club owner hopped on the whole ‘green movement’ bandwagon, partially in support of the cause, partially, I’m guessing, since the marketing angle’s just too good not to go with. In this case, it was nightclub owner Jon B. (Jon Bakhshi) of Home and Guest House, who opened [...]

Cab Drivers, Apparent Victims of Horny Women

Rain always makes the New York cab market extra competitive. Last night, I fell prey to two bizarre cab experiences. The first involved fighting over, then sharing, a cab with a man named Bjorn who turned out to be my New York neighbor. The second, more awkward, was my chat with a balding [...]
