Mel Gets Married: I'm Engaged!

From the time that most women are little girls, they start planning (well, more like dreaming) for their wedding days. As cliché and stereotypical as this sounds, we women all know in the cockles of our hearts that this statement is true....read more...

My Health Guru Calley,

Hello, I always seem so down and have no energy. It’s hard to get out of bed in the morning. I have no time (and extra funds), for a gym. Can you recommend a few stretches or exercises that can give me a boost in the morning? Hitting the snooze button just isn’t cutting it.

How I Almost Lost My Hat Last Night

Last night after eating at a Thai place called “Sea” a group of us stopped in Radagast Hall and Beirgarten, but found it too full so we went across the street for drinks at this bar called the Levee. We were out, about nine of us celebrating a friend’s return to New York City.  We managed to [...]

Pit Pads

Best invention ever.  Finally we can wear tight cotton shirts without looking like “pit city”, USA!  I was sweating in my office one day and was debating stuffing tissues in my armpits so I wouldn’t look like a disgusting, sweaty mess.  I have been wearing all dark clothing because all my adorable white shirts and [...]

Salute Your Shorts

Americans show their patriotism in many different ways: some adorn stars or stripes, some listen to Bruce Springsteen, others bake cakes with flag motifs. People have gone to the extremes of getting an eagle head tattoo or just by simply buying American. Some of us here at EGS went to a whole new level of [...]

Slanket Taste on a Snuggie Budget

A man walked into a bar and caused mass hysteria. He was not a celebrity, he was not attractive, he did not appear to rolling in hundos, and yet the ladies were throwing their selves at him. They each took turns posing for photos cuddled under his fleeced arm. It was not his Axe body [...]

Cleavage Covers?

Now I’ll admit I fall for any gimmick that I see on TV. Apparently many other Americans do also, or how else could you explain the sale of over 4 million Snuggies. However, I recently discovered the Cleavage Covers, a product almost as useless as that blanket. The Cleavage Covers are a triangular piece of [...]

Wanna Watch? YouTube Makeup Tutorials

As long as I could remember I have been addicted to beauty magazines like Allure, but I have never been able to shake the feeling that the publication is nothing more than a glorified advertisement. Aside from listing the products used in the beauty spreads, along with some relatively useless “tips and tricks”, the reader [...]

Shanalogic.com : Shop Indie

I have to admit, I have always had a soft spot in my heart for Hot Topic. Knowing this, the first time I came to NYC, my friend Gillian took me to Saint Marks. Within the 2 block radius there were many stores that channeled my alterna-teen needs. I have since overgrown spikes and piercings [...]

Fred Flare and PeachFrog: Shopping in BKNY

Shopping is one of the greatest ways to spend an Saturday. Even with money being tight, some great bargains can still be found. For those of you that are totally strapped, window shopping can be half the fun. Or do what this thrifty girl did last weekend and learn to haggle with a street vendor. [...]
