new york
Devon: Here, why don’t you take some of my steak? I could never eat this much meat.
Jack: That’s not what I hear.
Dr. Leo Spaceman: Now Jenna, medically speaking, for your height your weight puts you in what we call the “disgusting range”.
Liz Lemon: You just can’t be a real woman in this country. God! It’s like those Dove commercials never happened!
Tracy Jordan: My home address is in the GPS under ‘Da Crib’ cos we live on Da Crib Avenue.
there’s also a blink and you’ll miss it scene showing the boxes for Liz’s unassembled home office furniture, with the swedish furniture company’s name on it: Blërg
hervé pierre at home
if you’re like me then you peruse the selby often (and by often i mean all the time), and there would be no need to show you these pics. but i’m going to take a shot in the dark and share them with you in case you’re not a follower. this is hervé pierre‘s apartment in new york city, he’s the design director for carolina herrera.
pierre has literally brought paris into his home, and it’s filled with the coolest stuff – hat boxes, paper art, vintage portraits, giant perfume bottles, fashion illustrations … not to mention the fact that his fridge is basically stocked with water and chocolate.
i urge you to see all the photos here
parisienne
parisienne is a the latest perfume by YSL, and they have enlisted some well known stylish people (joanna goddard amongst them) to blog for them:
YSL is sending five renowned bloggers on a journey around the country to discover and reveal their very own PARISIENNE experiences in New York City, Miami, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles. YSL has chosen an ensemble of women with passions for beauty, art, design, music, fashion and food to create a travel diary of their trip. Stay tuned here to read articles, see photos and follow the women on their journey.
i like the concept because there’s isn’t heavy product placement in the stories (which would have ultimately made the bloggers look like sell-outs and the ‘experience’ a bit fake).

(ps: one of my favourite perfumes that i use often is YSL elle – so if parisienne is even vaguely similar, it’s probably amazing. i am very partial to darker/rich scents like viktor & rolf’s flowerbomb, kate moss’ fragrance etc)
jack gets in the game
i watched 30 Rock episode season 2 ep 2: “Jack Gets in the game” again yesterday:
Liz: How come men can be heavy and be respected, like James Gandolfini or Fat Albert? It’s a double standard, and America needs to get over its body image madness.
Jack: Oh, come on. What are we, back in college, freshman year? Let’s go to the common room and talk about apartheid.
Devon: Here, why don’t you take some of my steak? I could never eat this much meat.
Jack: That’s not what I hear.
Dr. Leo Spaceman: Now Jenna, medically speaking, for your height your weight puts you in what we call the “disgusting range”.
Liz Lemon: You just can’t be a real woman in this country. God! It’s like those Dove commercials never happened!
Tracy Jordan: My home address is in the GPS under ‘Da Crib’ cos we live on Da Crib Avenue.
