Betsey Johnson Hosts Fashion Show at Estate

Wednesday night, Betsey Johnson models glided across the shiny jet black runway dressed in Betsey's newest fall collection filled with clubby sequined skirts, body-hugging cocktail dresses, teacup ruffle dresses, and oversized stuffy winter coats. Impressed? Not really. This is only the bizillioth time that Betsey comes to Estate, and we're totally over this show, to say the least.

But what is really going on with Estate? Fridays are slowing down and Saturdays aren't even worth mentioning. We used to go to Estate every Friday, but it's obviously slowed down this fall compared to it's peak last summer. We'd even say last spring Estate had finally overtaken Venu in the ongoing battle for "The Friday Night". Estate had come so close, but just lost it during these first couple of weeks. Switching from Suite to Foundation after their awful opening of Suite Thursdays also didn't add much to their credibility. Who goes to Foundation?! Like no one.

"OMG...What Was She Wearing?"

Fall is in the air, and we're definitely pulling out our cashmere scarfs from the depths our closets, taking our Burberry trenches to the drycleaners, and buying a crisp new pair of Coach leather gloves, but nothing even comes close to this outrageous teddy bear jacket. This seems sooo like Lady Gaga at her notorious fashion-frenzie interview for a German television show. This "jacket", or lack there of, almost leaves us speechless...and that's hard to do.

"Pictures Speak 1,000 Words..." Partying at Dusk in New Jersey

To be honest, we just don't like Jersey. When we're in Manhattan, why should we venture across the river to a place where the people are half as hot, and the restaurants are half as good, the nightlife is not even worth comparing to our city. But, we thought we'd give ode to our only favorite club, Dusk, in Atlantic City. Yes, the AC was good about 2 months ago for bonfires, overly drunken weekends, and 4th of July after parties, but autumn is approaching and we, along with with everyone else, are over it.

RIP Summer 2009 : Hamptons

Waking up today to 44 degree weather definitely isn't our cup of tea. Fall has officially begun, and it's time to say our last goodbyes to our beautiful bikinis, poolside parties, delicious daiquiris, and tantalizing tans. But before we go, let's cheers to our summer Hamptons party fav was hosted poolside by Guest of a Guest and Thrillist. The drinks were flowing, the sun was beaming, and the beach balls were glistening as we enjoyed our signature pomegranate martini topped off with grapes and cheese platters poolside.

The W Ceases to Exist…Still.

We're totally convinced this place will never open. Way back in the depths of June, rumors swirled that the ultra chic W would open its glossy doors in September, and now are stated to open in late October. What could possibly be taking so long, they’ve certainly been hyping up this monstrosity for quite awhile. MBTA Board Member Frank Chin gloats, “It’s a very nice hotel. I hope the hotel will improve the Theater District and help to block some of the noise pollution caused by the surrounding night life that impacts the elderly housing next to the Roxy Night Club.” Personally, anything of stature could hopefully change the seedy China town area in Boston. That’s a bit obvious. Rather, we’d like to see increased traffic, and a nuanced nightlife scene emerge rather than a feeble noise screen for the “elderly housing”. Frank, for Christmas, we’ll make sure to send them over a pair of Breakfast at Tiffanys earplugs…on us. Cheers!

Obama's "Taking No Prisoners" For Chicago 2016 Olympics

Today, Michelle Obama visits Copenhagen in her quest to beat Rio de Janeiro, Tokyo, and Madrid for the 2016 Olympic bid.

She provided fair warning to her rivals when she was seated next to the first lady of Brazil at a dinner a the G2O Summit in Pittsburg, "I adore her," Mrs. Obama said. "And -- but I said, 'You know I'm going to hug you now -- and then I'm going after you in Copenhagen.' And she said, 'You too.'"

This is Mrs. Obama's biggest assignment in the nine months since coming to the White House. Her Monday session with an invited group of reporters at the White House was her first ever press conference as first lady.

Now that's a fierce woman.

“Rumors Have It…” Boylston Alleyway Set To Close?!

{Photograph via Estate}

This notorious alleyway which includes Estate, Suite, and Liquor Store is (according to various sources) being bulldozed by Emerson College, and transformed into a variety of chic dormitory apartments. Emerson is blatantly trying to foreclose 72.5% of Boston nightlife. Let’s not be too obvious now. Looks like the half your students have complained about getting into Estate or Suite with their totally lame, ridiculously fake, wanna-be international IDs. Now they’ll probably infiltrate Gypsy, or maybe even an occasional dead night at Mantra. Lovely.

The Chandelier That Makes Every Party..."The Party"

This exotic arrangement of myriads and myriads of colorful vodka bottles (that's a lot of martinis...like, a lot) surely brings excitement to any wanna-be-Boston party...We're actually surprised Rumor, Venu, Estate, or any other club monstrosity doesn't have one. Tacky isn't even the word...we like to call this piece...creative?! But the truly important questions are: how long it took to put this glass menagerie together--and did they really drink that much vodka?! Either way, maybe this will be our next project, but after the Three Olives (disastrous) Bubble Vodka Party, we're done with vodka for awhile...at least until Friday.

Fourth of July Throwback.

Whoa, let's take it a step back. Yes, we're really excited about the leaves of autumn, but before we leave the bikinis behind, let's reminisce back to the peak of summer, which we of course spent in the Hamptons. For many, the 4th of July celebrates the true start of summer, filled with delicious daiquiris, red-white-and-blue beauties, yummy yachts, tasty turquoise pools, and fiery fireworks. For some reason, the 4th always brings out the forget-the sunblock-,take-another-shot, and just-celebrate mentality. We won't forget the ridiculous laughs, the amazing memories, or the festive outfits that filled our holiday. We hope yours was as good as ours. Cheers!

Blackberry Tries To Be "Trendy"

Let's face it. If you want to be anywhere near successful these days, a blackberry or iPhone is an absolute necessity. Remember the legendary Optimus Maximus keyboard that you’ve never bought? Billy May had an idea to adopt the technology into BlackBerry. He proposed the concept for MozPhone project, a design effort initiated by him. The illustration displayed here is an Optimus Keyboard + a Blackberry 7130 which is mentioned not a

great innovation.

Looks Like Fall Is In The Air...

With exams around the corner; oranges, yellows, and reds seeping

through brisk green leaves; and the heavy coats creeping their way

to the front of the closet, autumn is surely approaching. We're actually secretly

excited to see what this festive fall season brings us, and ready to hang up

our beautiful bikinis, fold our tantalizing trunks, and flaunt our flowery flats,

cashmere sweaters, and cozy sweaters. Our calendars are overflowing with

Newbury brunches, fabulous fall cocktail parties, Comm Ave strolls, rugby matches,

apple picking adventures, reading in warm flannel pajamas by the fireplace,

and pumpkin carving parties.

Hopefully you can keep up.

Cheers to Fall 2009...Let the Games Begin.

Social Media Workout

Looks like Patrick Moberg is at it again, yet

this time he's trying to get us skinny!

His plan for us is this: every time you click/enter/ope

any of these sites, get up from

your computer and do the

given exercise. After the mini workout is

finished, reward yourself by visiting/browsing/gushin

over the given site. Looks like

the gym istotally not needed...

just a couple of clicks on twitter or checking recent facebook

albums and we'll be well on our

way to that super sexy six pack.

"That Party Looked WAY Better In Pictures..." : Kim Kardashian Hosts Three Olives Vodka Launch

{Photographs courtesy of Kirill}

Where do we begin. Let's start with the cheesy, lack-of-serious-taste lingerie these "bubble" girls are wearing. We're thinking lollipops on acid, mixed with ice cream queens and a box of lucky charms all thrown in the washing machine. Without detergent. Kim and Chloe stayed for a cool 23 minutes, then left without even being photographed with the bubble vodka. In short, this "wanna-be-hipster party" was totally lame and a waste of a $18.70 cab ride, and the alcohol tasted like over processed medicine. Next please...

Crystals Aren't Just A Girls Best Friend...

With fall approaching, love is definitely in the air. With us

staying for weekends at the Ritz, dining at

romantic Italian restaurants, and gazing at

beautiful views of the Boston skyline atop the

Prudential Center... we definitely need to look stunning

underneath the satin sheets to top off our evenings. What

better way to grab his attention then with a Swarvoski Brazilian Bikini Wax?

You can even create your own designs with these crystals

and arrange them in any pattern of your choosing.

Add some Rose Champagne and Chanel No. 5, this

will certainly will be a night to remember...

Highlighters Infiltrate Rumor

\

Bringing back old school highlighters and white washed tees, Rumor was filled with spraying colors, drunken drawings, and beautiful bottles frolicking around tantalizing tables with colorful cocktail waitresses and DJ Roger M & DJ JC spinning.

...that is, if you got in. Like always, the line outside was outrageously, obnoxiously, unnecessarily long, and to be honest, the party wasn't worth the wait. Syrus was working the door, and stressed out as usual, and the normal masquerade of "table" clients and fake international IDs paraded around the entrance. Cheers!

House of the Day : The Lego House

We've experienced the villas of Tuscany, the exquisite Parisian apartments, the Miami soiree beach houses, the Turks and Caicos bungalow getaways...the list goes on and on. We thought we had seen it all until we laid eyes on this...lego house.

"Each project is a new conversation which develops through the various stages of design and manufacture and we often find that ideas, approaches and ways of making have an infectious tendency to spill over from one to another and filter between the differing scales of work we do."

-Barnaby Gunning Architects

...Literally. Consisting of over 3 million legos and built by a team of volunteers in a London suberb, this maison is certainly one of it's kind.

Now that's a house warming party we definitely wouldn't miss.

Rugby Becomes a Little Too IT Savy...

With fall quickly approaching and rugby games beginning...the actual "Rugby" store sure loves technology this season. You can now create and customize you're own uniform or shirt directly from your phone...AND order it too directly from your iPhone! Don't look at our Amex bills this month...this makes shopping online a little too convenient for us. Now you'll definitely see us on the sidelines, wrapped up in our Burberry trench coats, cashmere scarves and berry flats coupled with warm woolen socks while hiding behind our super chic aviators, sipping fresh apple cider and enjoying watching beautiful men glisten in overly preppy jerseys, sparkling bodies, and oh-so-sexy scrum shorts. Loving autumn already!
