I Still Heart NYC (SoHo)!

The Celtics made sure that the Cavs did not make any further into the NBA Playoffs by winning their Game 7. True to form, the Celts won every home game they've played in the series. Despite 45 from LeBron, PP34 put in 41 of his own as the Celtics won by five. The Celtics will host the Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Congrats to the Penguins, and Sid the Kid who made into the NHL Finals by winning against the Flyers 4 games to 1. Hopefully the Pens will face the Red Wings to have a marketable NHL Finals, however Dallas seems to be putting up quite the fight.
Abercrombie is up a modest 3.4% for Q1. Alot better than seeing some of the fugly numbers we have so far this year!! Urban Outfitters claims a Q1 up 44.9%. A decrease in markdowns, combined with a clear positioning strategy, means better buys, better inventory, better turns, hence 45% increase in profit. Makes sense on paper, huh?
Asking price to buy the company Sharper Image: $51.25 Million. Darn it, I'm JUST a wee bit short on my bid!
Bobby Hundreds is wreaking havoc in NYC and covering two of my FAVORITE STORES in the world, Uniqlo and Muji. NICE! I heart NYC.
Shout out to Elaine from the RnW!! Thanks for the fun night at the club, and remember to Take It Easy! Slow down, and enjoy the ride! Let's kill some more Tequila soon! Straight, No chasers!

Bravo For Solar Powered Lingerie!!

The Spurs just made the playoffs even more intense, forcing a game 7 in N'Awleans. Robo-Duncan led the way with 20-15-6, Manu had 25, and TParker had 15 to give the Spurs a victory in Game 6. Can't wait to see the Honeybees just one more time!!
Ok, I know times are tough in retail, but are they really THIS tough?? JC Penney falls 50% profit in Q1!!! Canyou say "Store Closings"?? Wow! I shudder to think of the cutbacks, layoffs, cost cutting, and craziness that is going to ensue here!! Macy's doesn't look so bad with their loss of $59 Mill in Q1!! UGLEEEEE!!
On the light at the end of the tunnel, Urban Outfitters posted a 45% increase for Q1. Lessons learned, just have to follow the blueprint, people!!
The Jordan Brand has a new president, Keith Houlemard. Sorry Kwas, I guess you just missed it by a H-Air!! All good, we are still going to take over the world regardless!!
Brace yourselves, Burma's looking at another storm to hit on Friday. Dang. This is just getting out of control!!
Congrats to Oprah who cancelled her own show herself! The Big Give will not be back, mainly because they are getting sued by the person who initially pitched the idea. Smooth move!
If you have a weak stomach, don't read this article. What is it with problems with Austrian people in the news today?? This guy may have had some money problems, but come on now... this is just ridiculous!
Sorry Fellas, not only in Halle the top of the list of MILF's, but she's also off the market!! Congrats Halle, you deserve it!!
It's ok though, Shania is now back on the market!! The race is on!
Canadians always have the advantage for drugs, the morning-after pill Plan B is now over the counter! I wonder how many Americans are going to drive across the border for those? Will they have to start searching cross-border luggage for these pills?
Is it just me, or is Timmy's in some serious legal woes lately? Free Timbits, stolen Toonies, for all the spare change they collect in those charity plexiglas cases, I'm sure they could solve a few problems here and there!
Pretty interesting comparison of NYC to Liberty City by Matthew Johnson. Amazing what these games are coming to nowadays!! I wonder when the next virtual Earth game comes out with tours in every major city!! Too much to ask for? Just you wait and see!
Fraggle Rock fans unite!! The retro Jim Henson TV show comes to the big screen! I'm getting my Boober tee shirt ready!!!
Triumph gets the nod for Lingerie that can charge my iPod! Nice!! What comes next after Solar Powered Bras?? You got it!!!
