    'New York': Old Media Is Really, Really, Really Dead

    It's not that any one article in this week's New York proves the death of old media (or at least any more so than any other article ever does). It's more of a penumbra thing: The combined take-away from all the media coverage in the new issue of the mag is downright depressing. More »

    Looking at the Look Book

    Intern Alexis would like to apologize to each and every one of you: For the past three weeks or so, she's been a PCP-infused haze, eating innocent kittens, and ditching her intern responsibilites like only a bitchy addict would. By abandoning her Look Book duties, she burned you, she burned us, and she burned dozens of starving orphans who had nothing more to look forward to in life than Alexis' weekly feature. More »

    The Perfect 'New York' Article: Pimps, Hookers, & Lizzie Grubman

    The latest New York magazine has a too-many-words-to-count feature on Riker's Island inmate Jason Itzler, also known as the free-spending, arrogant pimp behind NY Confidential, a high-dollar escort agency that brought in as much as $25,000 a night from its Worth Street loft. The story is a typical tale of a rise-and-fall in the underworld, complete with a heartwarming storyline of Itzler's beloved, a $2K hooker named Natalia. In this story, however, it's not the money and the sex that are fascinating — it's Itzler's interaction with high society that we find particularly enlightening: More »

    'New York,' 'New York,' It's a Helluva a Mag

    New York lost a features editor last month and an articles editor in September. Now it's staffing back up, hiring two folks who will be, as editor Adam Moss put it in an informal and friendly staff email yesterday, "roughly replacing the recently departed chris lehmann and the less-recently departed joanna coles." (No caps, the sure sign of an informal and friendly email.) More »

    The Five Stages of Lindsay Robertson

    Our first reaction on reading New York's report that Lindsayism.com proprietress Lindsay Robertson had been "cyberstalking" Corey Feldman was, in a word, denial. "Mild-mannered Lindsay?" we asked ourselves, amazed. "That blonde pixie we've known all these years? Her?" (And, more to the point, in what world is that cyberstalking?) It couldn't be, we thought. It just couldn't. More »

    Another Day, Another Reason for Amsden to Cling to Young Girls

    The byline and lede are unnecessary; one really only needs to glance at the headline to know that this was written by anthropologist of the barely-legal, His Skeeviness David Amsden. In his defense, however, Amsden seems to be growing up: These girls are high school graduates, after all. More »

    The Cock Goes Down

    The notoriously raunchy East Village gay bar The Cock will be closing in a few weeks. One wonders: What finally sealed its fate? The post-ban smoking? The backroom? Nope.
    In the end, though, they were done in by real estate. When the lease came up, "my landlord wasn't having it anymore."
    So now The Cock will enter The Hole, as it were, and the latter's location on Second Avenue will be known as The Cock. More »
