Storm Andrea might be swiftly making her way up the East Coast, bringing along plenty of rain, but if the Rockabus (a “hipster jitney” to the newly reopened Rockaways) is any…

There’s no escaping the reality of gender inequality (hello! that’s a lot of places) but when it comes to social networking, women are coming out on top in terms of adoption. On almost every platform, females lead the way in embracing and trying out new services. Talk about changing the ration! And, while you’re at it, sign up for The List, a new “visibility platform for awesome women” started by two awesome women.

happy 130th to my second favorite bridge (sorry, brooklyn— golden gate is #1)
Happy 130th to the Brooklyn Bridge!
When it opened on May 24, 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge was the longest suspension bridge in the world. Designed and built by German-born John A. Roebling and his son, Washington A. Roebling, the bridge connected New York and Brooklyn. The remarkable design used Roebling’s patented system of steel wire cable construction. Its graceful limestone and granite towers, pictured here, took 5 years to build.

My wedding, shot by the wonderfully talented Sasithon, is featured today on Style Me Pretty. In this dreary New York weather, it’s lovely to relive my warm, late summer best-day-ever.

Dog Astounds Opera World With Puccini Aria
Opera fans and critics are abuzz after a recording by a golden retriever mix named Huck started spreading across the Internet.
“It’s a performance of ‘Nessun dorma,’ Puccini’s famous aria from the end of Turandot,” Opera Watcher columnist George Malin tells The Fluffington Post. “Only the world’s best tenors have what it takes to do it justice — Luciano Pavarotti defined the piece in the ’80s.”
After hearing Huck’s performance, a number of critics have come forward proclaiming this a turning point in the craft.
“I don’t say this lightly — I think Huck’s Puccini is better than Pavarotti’s,” says Malin. “That’s a big f***ing deal. I could get whacked for saying something like that.”

Looks like my dog.
Memories of a honeymoon. It would be so lovely to be back here right now, in Anacapri, about to enjoy an Aperol Spritz by the sea, still reeling over the Italian coast and its charms.
