Ad Age Asserts Awesomeness Assiduously

A little alliteration never hurt, right? Groan. Well apparently pHytonics is Simon Dumenco’s Pop Pick of the week! Dumenco has a column called Media Guy on Ad Age's site, generally considered to be the best catalogue of a thinking man's pleasures on the web. It's running online and in print, so check out one at least; lazybones. And keep your eyes peeled for more info about Dumenco on this very blog because, heh, we’ll be publishing him in Look by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders.

Our fave photo mage sends us some digital love today, at popphoto. Oh yeah, did we tell you pHytonics had launched for reals? Well it has, and so far it's friggin' exploding.

Bombin' In Brooklyn

Commies, West Coast style mavens Upper Playground, Tolstoy, graf legend Mear One, and Arabic hip hop crew Euphrates all under one roof? In fucking Williamsburg?! Strange but true... and the kind folks at People's Weekly World even give US a shoutout in their article about the whole ordeal. Was anyone NOT there?

Peer Gallery Loves Salt

O'Brien A-Bloggin'

OH MAH GOD OH MAH GOD! Glenn O'Brien has a blog! Glenn is pretty much the founder of cool in NYC: he's been at the top of his game as a tastemaker for more than twenty years now and has made more and more interesting things than almost anybody. We could go on and on and on and on, but it's probably best to let him speak for himself. Glenn O'Brien's Blog.

Drug-Addled Maniac Hates powerHouse, No One Is Surprised

Rush Limbaugh calls out Pees on Earth in a quarter-page article in his newsletter, calling us the "arts-and-croissants crowd," and little Ellen Jong a "lib photographer," as if there were any other kind.

Maybe he could organize a book burning and give us a sales bump too! We're hungry: anyone have a croissant?
