Inman Park

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

 

This is one of the greatest areas in Atlanta and there are a few places I want rave about. First, my pal Amy who runs New Moon Skin Care. If you are serious about taking care of your skin get a microderm abrasion. After the treatment your skin will feel like buttah. The salon is at Studio Plex, a really funky development in the Old Fourth Ward. The new restaurant Serpas True Food just opened there.  I haven’t been yet but know Scott is a terrific chef–it should be great. For more dining in this area you can’t go wrong with Sotto Sotto, Fritti, Rathbun’s, Krog Bar, Highland Bakery, Shaun’s and the sandwich shop at Parish.  There are a few cute new shops in IP like Jac. boutique (love her!), So-Shoe-Lite and Lila.  Got a cool place that I’ve missed in this area?  Post it here! Happy weekend!

      

Hat Chat

Friday, January 30th, 2009

Aretha’s inauguration head gear is still inspiring people everywhere.  If you want to buy one, check out today’s Peach Buzz.  The store “A Tisket A Tasket” is selling them.  I’m not sure it’s going to look as glamorous as the guy in this video—but his creation is pretty fabulous.

      

Super Show

Friday, January 30th, 2009

Sunday is the Super Bowl so Friday’s Radio Free Lunch will be all about football.  We’ll accept any song that has some kind of football term in it.  Think run, pass, blitz, tackle or sack.  I can’t wait to play “Ballroom Blitz” and “Pass The Dutchie”!!

      

Veggie Tales

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

Have you seen this PETA ad that NBC says is too sexy for the Super Bowl? 

What’s more awkward, vegetables in inappropriate places or explaining to your kids what erectile disfunction is?  You gotta hand it to PETA, they are getting tons of media coverage on this.  Dlisted’s take on this is my favorite.  Watch the second video, it’s HILARIOUS.

      

One Hit Wonders

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

This is always one of my favorite sets of music. Since it’s a slow news day (I know you don’t want to hear songs about job cuts, ugh!) Let’s play some of your favorite one hit wonders for Radio Free Lunch Thursday.  There are a gazillion to choose from so get to commentin’!!

      

Events Tonight

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

Join me at Ecco for the Hello Stilletto shoe party!  I get to be the judge of the fiercest shoes in town fashion show.  Bring your highest heels and let’s have a cocktail together.  Very exciting!  Hope to see you there and it starts at 6ish.

Also tonight, there are a few restaurants getting together to raise money for the Atlanta Police Foundation.   A few weeks ago, John Henderson was tragically killed while working at the Standard in Grant Park.  Several in town restaurants are donating some of tonight’s proceeds to prevent another horrible incident like this. Get a list of participating places here.

      

Eight Is Enough

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

Babies-in-flower-pots

Did you hear about the woman in California who had octuplets? In honor of this incredible delivery, Wednesday’s Radio Free Lunch will be songs you’d send out to the new mom of 8 (!!!).  So far we’ve come up with “Stay Up Late”, “Driver 8″, “Mother’s Little Helper”, “Stop Your Sobbing” or “Who’s Crying Now”. McDonald’s Daily Cheese could be from the babies to mom, “I’m Coming Out” by Diana Ross??  Can’t wait to hear your ideas!

Bruce Springsteen 2009

Is everywhere this week!  In honor of the new release Working On A Dream we’ll play an hour’s worth of Springsteen music for Tuesday’s Radio Free Lunch. Plus, I’ll have a very special announcement at noon ;) that ties in with all of this. Also, what songs do you think he’ll play at the Super Bowl?  People are already taking bets on this on this!!  My guess would be Working On A Dream, Glory Days, Rosalita and Born To Run.  Trying to predict this may be more fun than predicting the score of the game!!

      

Not Pretty

Monday, January 26th, 2009

Ugly Betty is being taken off the air in March and will be replaced by Samantha (freaking) Who (and some other show)?  UB won’t be on again till June. Hate that! In better TV news, the new HBIC (head bitch in charge) of NBC says Lipstick Jungle may come back in the fall.  I hope this happens!  Love that show.  More good news?  Real Housewives of NYC are coming back soon!  Those girls are my favorite although the OC crew have been pretty fabulous this time around.  I seriously need to read a book or something.
