The Quest for "it"

Sara Herbert-Galloway is Missing her Judith Leiber Bag...

Hi!

Last night the National Meningtis Association held it's 3rd Annual--Give Kids a Shot Gala at the NYAC--New York Athletic Club.  While the event without without a hitch, it was sadly not 'til the end of the evening that Social and Event Chair Sara Herbert-Galloway's Judith Leiber, (Austrian Crystal) Pear Bag, was clipped. Yes, STOLEN, someone walked right off with the bag.

Herbert-Galloway was seated with honoree Musician Chau-Giang Thi Nguygen, Director/Producer Brian Grazer, Designer Vera Wang, etc.  After presenting Chau-Giang with her award, she left the table to say goodbye to Ms. Thi Nyguyen and Mr. Grazer.  When she returned the waitstaff were busing the table and her bag was gone.  She immediately notified security. While she looked for the bag, at the end of the evening with mostly NYAC staff and people cleaning up, her son Justin's brand new Blackberry was stolen!

Swiping a handbag from a woman dedicated to helping amputees and  those who've lost their loved ones to meningitis is SHAMEFUL. Will the high-society thief, please show his or her face?

BEST LINE EVER: Mike Tyson on Ellen DeGeneres....That's a Fat Coke Head

Hi!

It was great to see the evolution of former pro-boxer, heavyweight champ Mike Tyson, as he appeared fresh faced, svelte, lean and lucid on yesterday's airing of  The Ellen DeGeneres Show.  Fans and naysayers alike couldn't help but be impressed with his two-year vegan/two year sober admission, as well as his current work with pigeons via his new Animal Planet show, Taking on Tyson.

However, it was his one-liner in regards to his weight, after Ellen posted photos of the champ over the last few years displaying how full figured Tyson had become, that had everyone reeling. "That's a fat coke head right there," Tyson exclaimed.  He went on to say, "there's nothing worse than a fat coke head." We totally agree, Mike.  

DeGeneres closed her show using the same--there's nothing worse than...

BEST LINE EVER!!!!

Ted Williams on Jimmy Fallon-- Matt Lauer Brings Out the Woman in Him

Hi!

Did you happen to catch Jimmy Fallon last night? Leave it to the hipster late night talk show host to bring out aspects that no other reporter or media personality had that day (January 6, 2011) when the Homeless Man with the "golden voice" Ted Williams made his national press rounds.  The loveable Ted Williams expressed his admiration for and joy at being interviewed by NBC Today Show Anchor Matt Lauer sharing " he brings out the woman in me." We hear that! Click here for the full video interview.

Mr. Williams, making numerous appearances on various NBC news programs in New York City and an approved profile with ABC's Good Morning America, has  since completed voice overwork for Kraft Macaroni n Cheese.

Jimmy McMillan Helps Pay the Too Damn High Rent!

Hey There!

 First he coined the now infamous “The Rent is Too Damn High” catch phrase during the New York gubernatorial debate and now Jimmy McMillan is finding a way to actually help pay it.  

 The renter friendly politico recently joined forces with leading online auction site BidHere.com, unveiling a month long “Pay Your Rent for Pennies” auction campaign that officially launches on election day (November 2^nd).

The campaign coincides with McMillan’s mission of lower rents, providing winning bidders in the “Pay Your Rent for Pennies” auctions with one month’s rent (up to $1,200). 

 Our kinda deal!

 

 

 

TODAY: Couple Set to Wed TODAY at Universal Orlando Resort's Halloween Horror Nights

Hi!

Just when you thought you'd seen it all! April Richardson and Adam Cochran – the winners of Universal Orlando Resort’s first-ever Halloween Horror Nights Wedding contest – are “tying the noose” today at Halloween Horror Nights XX. They’ll share the “wedding of their nightmares” with family, friends and menacing scare actors.

The wedding will take place at one of Halloween Horror Night’s eight haunted houses. Cold fog and the sounds of an eerie bridal march will fill the air as April walks down the aisle to meet Adam.  Frightening scare actors will lurk throughout the ceremony as the bride and groom exchange their vows.  Once the couple is announced husband and wife, the wedding guests will cheer as scare actors snarl and the sounds of chainsaws from the Chainsaw Drill Team erupt.  

The newlyweds will board a hearse and ride to the wedding reception.  Chainsaw-wielding scare actors will escort the hearse as it slowly progresses through Universal Studios, followed by the wedding guests dressed in black cloaks.  At the reception, everyone will enjoy a three-tier cake decorated with spider webs and a skull cake topper.  The entire wedding party will also experience the horror of Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights first hand.

Now THAT'S a wedding!

Weighing In On High Society

                                                            Hello!

Oh my, if you live in New York City and  are in any way privy to this crowd--the cast of High Society, well then we are both HAPPY and SAD for you all at once. We here at The Quest for "it" are indeed privy. We cannot help but wonder why a show which when googled as "High Society CW" pops up under the umbrella The CW Television Network--Home of Gossip Girl has become such a  HOT TOPIC when very little has even happened in its first two episodes. We get more JUICE on this show from our gay male friends blog surfing comments than anything else.

We don't know about you, but outside of the Jules Kirby tantrums and race bashing, the Paul Johnson-Calderon  self-glorifications and money borrowing from his "questionable" trust fund, the best scenes are with  lil' sis Dabney Mercer, or uber socialite Tinsley Mortimer herself.  Tinsley's mom Dale is COOL, and friend Alex neither adds nor detracts. There has been VERY LITTLE from Malik So Chic the glammed out club-kid of African-American descent who has now been enlightened as to the "ways of white folks," and our old friend Devorah Rose, the very sultry,sexy & often mis-undrestood Devorah Rose that has yet to appear.

Last night's "TV date" of Tinsley Mortimer going to dinner at Philippe with Brian (the club promoting/managing/) entrepreneur guy was the BEST.  What WAS THAT?  Everyone 
knows that society chicks don't date club guys (owners included) at least not ones with deep tans and facial hair growing on um.... concurrently.  Hmmm... clearly Tinsley was being polite--long wet kisses on the FIRST date? Some blue-blood is turning over in their grave, we are so sure! Still, we applaud the effort of Tinsley taking one for the team.  Her camera bashing German Prince boyfriend who only wants to be filmed from certain angles was another BEST.

We guess we'll watch again next week--but DON'T go expecting us to give play by plays every time around, we have serious journalism to tend to....

Dr. Siegal's SNOOKI Diet... Snooki Spotted in GNC!

                                                  Hello!

Recently, the ever popular Jersey Shore star, Nicole “Snooki” Palozzi, was spotted leaving a GNC in New York City buying Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet.  Apparently, she took “The Situation’s” fat comment to heart and the paparazzi confirmed that.

 

She wants to get rid of her “rolls” as The Situation put it, and trade them in for Dr. Siegal’s cookies.  Snooki was overheard in the store saying she wants to look good for the next season of the Jersey Shore and it seems she plans to do that with Dr. Siegal’s SNOOKI Diet!

How An Innocent Facebook Status Nearly Ruined Our Day....

                                                                                  Hi!

What a weekend! Who knew that waking up on Saturday morning to nothing but dinner food instead of breakfast food, and sharing this fact with our Facebook friends would leave us feeling TICKED OFF! 

At 9:33 am we typed in:

"how does steamed cod with roasted garlic tomato puree over a bed of baby spinach and mesclun grab you?  It's 9:30 am & ALL we have in my apartment is DINNER food!" :(  

Within minutes trusty Facebook friends, most we knew but a few we did not, began responding with things like:

• Hmm it sounds better that what I have...which is nothing but an empty fridge & cupboards! Sounds like we both need to make a trip to the grocery store.

• Go out and grab some breakfast I will meet ya!! LOL
• 
  
• I'm crazy enough to eat that for breakfast lol :)
• 
  
• I'd eat it too!
• 
  
• Sounds fine to me
  

There were MORE, but you get the point.........

The last entry at 12:51 pm read:

It doesn't sound  very good, not even for dinner. Unless you saute the spinach and leave the mesclun as a salad. Wilted mesclun? Not so good.

How incredibly NEGATIVE we thought.....

What ensued next was back and forth*** between ourselves and this clearly "negative" chick.  We reminded her that this was the second time that she had made a PUBLIC negative comment to me regarding  a food preference. Although her next response came to me via private Facebook message the DAMAGE was already done. We were TICKED off! Judging a person's food preferences in PUBLIC for 952 of my other friends to see was TOO much.  Who did she think she was?  OK, so it happens said "negative" girl is a model, but we are thinking she is a disgruntled model who clearly has some axe to grind--is she a chef or something?  We then relayed this lil story to a few people who responded with "she wrote WHAT?" or who sighed, "that's not what THE WALL is for," and lastly "get rid of this chick".

Admittedly, we were possessed by this interaction ALL DAY.  As an avid user of what seems like everyone's "favorite" Social Media site, we cannot believe we fell prey to the most obvious, the most enticing method of interaction...the FB status!  Did we really "need" to let  the world know we had nothing in my apartment for breakfast? did we do something wrong? is this a female thing? We notice lots of men NEVER even touch the FB status section. Who knows, but for one afternoon my lil comment got me to thinking, mainly that we wanted to kick this chick's butt.  No, seriously outside of that, it made me realize how  words are perceived, and how much people tune in to what others have to say.  We have become a nation destined to comment, chime in, and identify with others for better, or for worse.  Needless to say, as a professional blogger we'll hardly be silenced, we suppose we will continue to update my FB status regularly.  However, we did find a very PERFECT solution to said "negative chick"-- we DE-FRIENDED her.

Now that everyone, is the POWER of Social Media!

:)

***-back and forth like me finding an article in the vegetariantimes.com of Warm Lentil and Rice Salad over wilted Mesclun and sending it to said negative chick

Brazillians Anyone?

Hi!

Not sure how many times this has been passed around BUT we thought this was just so adorable, irreverant maybe, but adorable still the same--we had to share.  If this is not  the ultimate  kid on the quest then we don't know who is.....
