Wednesday Candy: Ed Norton

ed norton2

Unlike some celeb-wannabes whose only claim to fame is extraordinary fertility, Ed Norton is a movie star – a talented actor with great range, and also…a do-gooder! Someone who isn’t just wasting his money and star-power away on expensive cars and young women is so rare nowadays. And that’s one of the reasons I love Ed Norton. Other major reason is…he’s hot in that moody-artsy-sexy way. Definitely would take him over Brad Pitt any day. Pitt is so overrated! Sorry, Jo!

So if you haven’t heard yet, Norton participated in the New York Marathon last weekend, running with three Maasai warriors that he trained with in Africa, in support of the “the preservation of biodiversity within the Maasai tribal lands of East Africa by promoting conservation, education and health services within the Maasai community”. And not only did he finish the 26 mile race, he crossed the finish line in 3 hours, 48 minutes and 1 second! That’s an awesome result (took me 35 minutes to run 5K in the Run for the Cure)! Snaps for Ed Norton!

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

Halloween 2009: Marc Jacobs and Bergdorf Windows

mj halloween4

Most of us had come to expect festive holiday displays in various retailers’ windows come Christmas. Well, perhaps because of the scary economy, or just for fun, some stores decked their windows out in something other than “boughs of holly” and brought us these awesome Halloween displays! Whether it’s swampy in NYC, or abstract in San Francisco, Marc Jacobs didn’t lack the creativity and tried to perhaps bring some of the window shoppers into his stores instead. Although to be perfectly honest, I really don’t know whether I would be brave enough to venture into a toxic zombie waste swamp to shop for clothes. Eeek! I do, however, loooove the cow window! It’s got a perfect pop of color and is weird enough to catch my attention as I walk down the street! Wish I was in San Fran to witness it firsthand!

Bergdorf’s windows are also quite stunning, showing various fairy tales with a technological twist. Princess and the PC, anyone? Not as fun as MJ, but visually captivating all the same. So what do you guys think? Do these windows scare you away, or make you want to shop till you drop?

Fashion’s Night Out

fashion-night-out

Oh what I wouldn’t give to be in NYC tonight! Not only does the Fashion Week start today, Fashion’s Night Out happens tonight as well! Most stores in New York will stay open until 11pm, while various parties and events will be happening all around the city. Models, designers, performers and actors are going to make appearances at various stores, including the one and only Anna Wintour, who is slated to visit Macy’s in the Queens Centre Mall. A mall! Would love to see that one! Fashion’s Night Out is a “global initiative to promote retail, restore consumer confidence, and celebrate fashion” headed by VOGUE, NYC & Co., the City of New York and the Council of Fashion Designers of America.

We’ve invited every fashion retailer across the five boroughs to encourage the fun of fashion again—flagships, tiny boutiques, massive department stores, young designers, mainstream chains, and niche luxury names alike—by keeping its doors open late on the evening of September 10 and to implement creative customer experiences welcoming all. Over 700 retailers and designers across New York City are confirmed participants in Fashion’s Night Out. Most events will take place from 6 P.M. until 11 P.M.

On Fashion’s Night Out, every participating location is open to anyone and everyone. Neither tickets nor invitations are required to join in the Fashion’s Night Out festivities.
