POPWHORE Official Blog : The Adventures of Tatum Reed

I am not one of those creepy adults who loves Disney Pixar movies. However, let me rave about this one. If you have children, take them to see it. If you don’t, you should still go see it.

The film is set in an authentic-feeling Paris. The kitchen is modelled after Thomas Keller’s French Laundry and has every bit of the excitement of a restaurant kitchen.

The characters are rich and full. I especially enjoy the food critic.

The food looks beautiful. Brilliant animation. I love my Emeryville Pixar boys. Good work!

I am going to say this is one of my favourite films of the year! Yes,
I said it.

Eco Chic-eco has never been more stylish than now. It isn’t just for
people wearing hemp clothing and composting their organic leftovers.
It has reached a new level. Organic style isn’t cheap.

I love the new Eco Pod Recycling System. at Williams-Sonoma. It
retails for $328.

I love the look of this can crusher

I have my housekeeper switched to using only Method cleaning products
on my home. They are from San Francisco and they do darling packaging as well as green products with scents you can stand to be around. Their website has the cutest photo on the front right now of a modern house in a bottle.

Anyone that has lived in NYC or had coffee from a Greek paper cup will
appreciate this product. It is an eco-friendly ceramic version of the
cup.

A great book about this subject: The Lazy Environmentalist: Your guide
to easy, stylish, Green Living.

When I was 5 years old I begged my father for an Airstream “camper”
He promised me I would get one when I turned 6 and of course I never
got one. It is not the type of thing that
would be parked in front of our home. So, ever since then I have been
rather secretly obsessed about owning one. Where would I put it? I
don’t know.

But, if I got one, I would get the new Design Within Reach Airstream

I’ve got a new haircut to report. I went to world famous Sally Hershberger for a new look. I saw her at her salon in the Meatpacking District in NYC. She is fabulous and entertaining to be
around and she does good hair.

While the mortgage meltdown continues, the leisure class continues it’s decadent consumption. The markets were hit hard

in Tokyo this morning…

You’re either with us or against us…

I have always loved playing with Barbie dolls. Since I am no longer
six years old the only appropriate way for me to have some around is
to “collect”. From time to time I purchase cute Barbie dolls that I
keep in my closet. This is my newest doll. Her “real” name is
“Learn to Cook Barbie” and she even comes with a little set of pots
and pans. I have named her Dirty Domestic Barbie.

My recent adventures in Dubai were very exciting. I’ve included a quick summary of the chain of events that lead to mutually assured conspicious consumption.

Leaving Episcopalians to ponder the prospect of a Mormon Presidential candidate, Arizona’s John McCain’s 2008 Presidential campaign appears to be in even more trouble. After a major staff realignment earlier in the week, a pair of key Republican strategists have resigned from John McCain’s campaign in Iowa. It could be the lack of buzz in his message or the somewhat bi-polar campaign message put forth so far…Word around Du Pont Circle is that the end is near, but as John Kerry taught us in the 2004 primaries, you should never count an expierenced establishment man out early….

In happier times, John McCain addresses a team of Google executives

The new show on HBO Flight of the Conchords is brilliant. It
follows two New Zealander guys that are in a two-man band trying to
get a gig. They remind me of boyfriends in bands that are pawning
all of their shit while they make songs. It is an interesting format
for a show. They break into song in between dialogue and the musical
parodies are hilarious and surprisingly good.

You must watch it.

Of course I’ve got it. I think I own almost every Apple product.
No, I didn’t stand in line or have a representative stand in line. I
just lucked out and got one the first weekend. Ah, but did I luck out?

Please understand that I adore the style and function of all Apple
products. I was excited about the iPhone but, I was a bit leery. I
let my (god forbid) practical side enter into the evaluation of it as
a product for me.

So, I already have a nano for working out, an ipod video for the car
and plane… Do I really need one on my phone? Not really. But, it
does look cool when the album covers come up.

The keyboard is pretty but, it is awful to type. I can cross the
street in NYC and never look down once at my Blackberry, typing a
perfect email. This will never be possible without a tactile feel of
the keyboard. Touchscreen looks cool but, it isn’t as practical.

I hate being practical! It is really bothering me the more I type
this. However, what I should do is type this blog on the iphone and
you will all see the many strange words that will come from the
keyboard.

The predictable typing is actually the most intelligent I have ever
seen and I think it is something that one could get used to.

I do have to say that it is handy for showing people I meet the
trailers. I can keep ilovepopwhore.com in my handbag. Now that is a
fun plus!

All of my emails from it should be signed “fucked up typing brought
to you from my iphone” instead of “sent from my iphone”.

The pros: stylish design and interface
The cons: clumsly e-mail pop application, no built in ichat, long battery recharge time, a keyboard bordering on a disaster, no flash browser for safari.

The verdict: don’t leave home without a Blackberry and an iphone if you must write detailed oriented e-mails. If all you care about is showing your friends content, and logging into Facebook, this phone is excellent.
