Kiss Me – I’m Drinking Green Beer!

I know it’s not normal to hate a holiday as much as I truly loathe the “get out and drink as much as you can” hits like Halloween and New Years and International Talk Like a Pirate Day. I blame my many years in the service industry for fanning the flames of hatred for drunken [...]

Olympics Closing Ceremony – Canada (tries to) Class it Up

Well, it finally came to an end. After months of build up and two weeks of nonstop coverage of sports that are only important once every four years, the Winter Olympics (coming to you from unexpectedly warm Vancouver) wrapped up on Sunday night, turned up the lights, cleaned up the spilled beer, and politely started [...]

Moth Story Slam – Burned by Desire

There’s a small sense of shame that hits me every time I have to leave the office at an hour that is considered early by my company’s standards (even though when my cabbie asked why I was there so late, my response of “playing with spreadsheets” didn’t seem sufficient). But on Tuesday, I dared to [...]

PV Pup Watches You Tube

Joelle’s newest canine addition, a six month-old Cavalier King Charles/ Shih Zu mix, was on her lap while she was watching the Lostprophets video diary and had the cutest reactions, so we had to document and post! Enjoy!

Urban Butterfly – Caterpillar with an Edge

Every January 1, the new year brings a slew of books, articles and advice about how to keep your resolutions. The packaging may be new, but the resolutions, and tips on how to keep them, never really change: save money, stop smoking, but mostly, lose weight.
Clearly, these are not entirely altruistic ventures. I’m sure the [...]

Haiti – A Solution

Everyone was shocked and saddened by the devastating earthquakes that hit Haiti last week. One of the worst natural disasters in history, the death toll is likely to hit over 150,000 people, though due to an underdeveloped infrastructure and the many mass graves that formed for lack of better ideas, we’ll never know the full [...]

He Can Be Your Sugar Daddy… Literally

This past Saturday a couple of us Planet Verge girls ventured down to Hoboken in pursuit of bands, beards, and baked goods. Alisha and I were the only two really interested in the baked goods aspect of the night, so we left New York with a little extra time to spare. Our plan was to [...]

Sarah Palin – Foxier Than Ever

Sarah Palin; former VP-nominee, former Governor of Alaska, and current grandmother to sort-of-Playmate Levi Johnston’s love child; has scored a recurring gig on Fox News as a commentator. The news has shocked pretty much no one.
Could Palin be the new Tyra???
But, like a teenage girl trying to decipher a text from that dreamy boy in [...]

Wish You Were Here…but I Kind of Wish You Weren’t

Leslie Simon, co-author of Everybody Hurts: An Essential Guide to Emo Culture, branched out this year and penned her own book, Wish You Were Here: An Essential Guide to Your Favorite Music Scenes-from Punk to Indie and Everything in Between, a lengthy title for a not so lengthy book. It’s 240 pages, spanning scenes from [...]

Attack of the Blockbusters

After walking out of a showing of It Might Get Loud a few months ago, I commented to my pal that I wanted to check out more stuff from Jack White, who surprised me as an impressive and insanely creative musician. The White Stripes hit their stride right as I was becoming disillusioned with pop [...]
