The closer it gets to valentine’s day, the more speed dating events pop up.  OH Please, if you want speed dating without paying a fee, go to Excellent Dumpling House during the lunch time rush, lollll.   The place is so crowded that they match you up at different tables.  You are in such close proximity you have no choice but to talk to your impromptu blind lunch date.  Not to mention they have the best inexpensive, tasty lunch ever!

The Kitty Bradshaw’s personal favorite is the Sizzling Chicken w/ Black Bean Sauce and the Crab Rangoon.  Total Price: $12

Trust in God, everyone else pay cash!   This place doesn’t accept credit cards!

Imagine me, The Kitty Bradshaw, walking down the street minding my own business… when out pops a female paparazzi who almost knocks me down to the ground.  Before I could get up cursing and carrying on, I realized she had her camera pointing and clicking at the black SUV directly on my right.  Next thing you know I was surrounded by paparazzi taking pictures, so I ducked out-of-the-way.  A voice said to me… STOP… WAIT… SEE WHO IS IN THE TRUCK!  So I did… low and behold it was Paris Hilton.  I immediately took out my professional camera out, “BlackBerry Curve 8900″ and started clicking for my life, lolll.  Yes, I was caught up in the maze of flashing lights.  I am not particularly a Paris fan… but it was exciting to be caught up in it all.

Dear Paris Hilton:  Thank you for that brief moment is excitement.  Next time can you please hold the pose for 60 seconds, my BlackBerry has a 5 minute delay, lolll.

Warmest Regards, Your not so much a BFF, -Kitty Bradshaw

This past Thursday evening, Mike Street of GreasyGuide.com hosted a fabulous Blogger’s Experience at the new Harlem hot spot Seventeen Below.  This place reminds me of an After Hours spot, very unsuspecting from the outside…. but very goth-romantic/ chic on the inside.  I can see myself going there on a date… providing they don’t let the “Mocha” crowd in.

The service was friendly… but I would have to go back again during non-event hours to confirm this.  However, I had no reason to believe it would be anything other satisfactory on my next visit.

They know the way to my heart… creating a drink after the Queen!

You all know what is so cool about this… they tailored each drink after all the individual Blogger’s personalities.  My camera didn’t pick up on the true  color of my drink…. which was pink.  It was fruity and feisty…. I loved it.   My brother in blog StevieNYC, his drink was lemon lime to match the tone of his site.  All of the Blogger’s there were pleased with their drinks.

Ok, so…. I am not biased over the drink, lollll.   I definitely recommend everyone go check this spot out.  It’s something different, it’s something new and refreshing.  I would like to give a special shout out to Surayya Barbee, one of the proprietors of Seventeen Below.  She was so gracious and charming.  Also, Mr. Lopez…. who was also great at keeping things flowing throughout the evening.  Kudo’s to them both.

In parting, I would like to mention all the wonderful Blogger’s I got to meet/mingle with that evening:

I rarely post celebrities on my website… but Kanye’s statement is poetry in motion.   I don’t condone the use of the N-word… but I totally feel what Kanye is saying in regards to fashion.  Fashion is what makes you look and feel sexy.  No one can tell you what fashion is… Fashion/ Style is different for everyone.  When you are your best, people will take notice.  *shrugs* and if they don’t understand you, they will try to nail you to the cross.  Make your own mark, don’t let anyone else mark where you should stand. -Kitty Bradshaw

WHEN IT’S ALL SAID AND DONE, REMEMBER THE FEARLESS, REMEMBER THE DREAMERS, REMEMBER THOSE WHO REPRESENT THE GHETTO…THE FAIRY TALE OF NOTHING TO SOMETHING. I’M BRIEFLY SADDENED BY NEGATIVE COMMENTS, BUT I HAVE TO REMEMBER THOSE PEOPLE ARE SCARED, INCAPABLE OR JUST PLAIN IDIOTS. WE ARE THE F*CKING ROCK STARS BABY. NO COCAINE, JUST LIFE MY N*GGAS!! NO COCAINE, JUST LIFE! IT’S FUNNY TO ME WHEN FASHION BLOGGERS DOWN OUR OUFITS AND THEN SUPER JOCK OUTLANDISH sh*t ON THE RUNWAY BUT THEN THEY DRESS MAD PRUDE AND DON’T LIVE FASHION. WE LIVE IT MAN. F*CK THAT, WE LIVE IT!!! WE LIVE IT SO HARD PEOPLE LIVE THROUGH US! WE REPRESENT YOUR INNER SPIRIT!! THE CHILD IN US ALL, THE BRUTAL HONESTY, THE NAIVETY, THE BRAVE WARRIOR, THE ADRENALINE THAT ALLOWS A MOTHER TO LIFT A CAR IF HER CHILD WAS TRAPPED UNDER IT! REMEMBER, THERE WAS A TIME WHEN EVERYBODY DISSED MICHAEL JACKSON EVERY CHANCE THEY COULD. IMAGINE THE PRESSURE OF BEING A TRUE ICON. VERY FEW HUMAN BEINGS ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO TAKE CONSTANT HATE!!! IF WE DON’T DO WHAT YOU FEEL IS THE SH*T, YOU BEAT US UP VERBALLY AND MENTALLY, LIKE A CATHOLIC SCHOOL TEACHER BEATING A CREATIVE STUDENT INTO SUBMISSION. I CAN HEAR YOU SCREAMING ‘COLOR INSIDE THE LINES!!!’ WELL F*CK YOUR COLORING BOOK, COLOR BY NUMBERS APPROACH TO LIFE. AT THE END OF THE DAY WHO ARE WE HURTING??? OH “THE NEW BLACK???” SINCE BARACK IS PRESIDENT BLACKS DON’T LIKE FUR COATS, RED LEATHER, AND FRIED CHICKEN ANY MORE?! WHEN YOU TRULY UNDERSTAND CULTURAL SETTINGS, BOUNDARIES, AND OUR MODERN DAY CASTE SYSTEMS, THEN YOU CAN FEEL THE GLORY AND PAIN FROM THE DAYS OF KINGS IN AFRICA TO THE NEW KINGS OF THE MEDIA. LET THE BALL PLAYERS DANCE AFTER THEY SCORE! IT’S LIFE MY N*GGAS, IT’S LIFE! REMEMBER CLOTHING IS A CHOICE. WE WERE BORN NAKED!!! FRESH IS AN OPINION, LOVE IS OBJECTIVE, TASTE IS SELECTIVE, AND EXPRESSION IS MY FAVORITE ELECTIVE. NO MORE POLITICS OR APOLOGIES!!!

The NYIGF is produced twice annually by glm.  Held in January and August in New York City, the Fair showcases the very best lines across the home, lifestyle and gift spectrum.

I think this is pretty interesting for those of you who haven’t got a spot to watch the big game at.  I, for one, love ESPN Zone.  If you are a fan of an NFL outside of the New York area, it’s a good place to hang out.  This is also a good plave to watch the game if you are a tourist.  Anyways below are all the details!

If you can’t be there, be here!

NEW YORK — Officials say a joint New York City Police-Fire rescue team in Haiti has pulled out two children alive from the rubble of a collapsed two-story building in Port-au-Prince.

Police spokesman Paul Browne says the 8-year-old boy and 10-year-old girl had been trapped for a week and were severely dehydrated. He said the children were rushed to an Israeli tent hospital where they were being treated.

Browne says the team recovered the bodies of three children from the same site earlier in the evening Tuesday, but they were pronounced dead at the scene. He says a rescue team from Virginia joined the NYPD and FDNY in the effort.

Browne says the boy and girl were the fifth and sixth individuals pulled alive from collapsed buildings by the New Yorkers since their arrival in Haiti on Saturday.
