I’m really working hard here to be your celebrity, celebs. Last night I had the amazing opportunity to play with sister media outlet to my mag, Power 106 radio station in LA, in a charity basketball game. We played with some celeb artists (Clyde Carson, Go Gettas), former NBA players—I may have told him he…

Welcome to You Are My Celebrity!
Hello. Curious how you got here? It’s okay, it’s confusing. This new blog is all the good stuff from the old blogs but not location-centric. See, this is the blog formerly known as this is life in austin & aspen, which WAS formerly known as this is life in austin until I partially moved and…
Boys Cutting Girls’ Hair [UPDATED]
This post was originally meant to be about DeVille at Bella Salon, but it turned bigger than that. Sorry bud. No offense to the ladies, but I’m probably getting my hair cut by men from now on. They don’t even have to be gay. First it was visiting badass Vinnie of Proper Barbers LA, my “brother”…
ASPEN: Food & Wine Classic
I just got back from an Aspen Business Luncheon with Food & Wine Publisher and Vice President Christina Grdovic. She was an excellent, fast-paced speaker, and her talk really got me jazzed about the upcoming weekend! Even though I don’t have passes to the actual events, there’s plenty for me to do … ASPEN magazine,…
Blake Lively Goes Red! I almost freak out.
There is no female celebrity I love more than Blake Lively. I loved her in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, I love her in Gossip Girl (my love for GG is well-documented on this blog), I love that Anna Wintour and Karl Lagerfeld both love her. I love her blonde hair, her fashion sense, and…
A New Level of Bieber Fever
I’ve mentioned before that I get a lot of emails pitching me things to write about. Sometimes whim is the only thing that guides me, which is clearly the case if I’m writing about Bieber. I’m sort of meh about the Biebs, but I do think it’s hilarious how everyone else seems to either LOVE…
New Celeb Hangout: Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
Driving down South Lamar the other day, I spotted a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf sign just after the bridge and thought to myself, “Wow, I saw lots of those in L.A. And you always hear about celebrities popping into them. We’re growing up …” And not two days later, I get a press release…

“This is going to be the next big Austin restaurant”
“This is going to be the next big Austin restaurant,” said my grounded, engineer, out-of-the-scene date to La Condesa‘s soft opening last night. He is not given to fanciful phrases and media hype, but he was absolutely floored by the decor and atmosphere at La Condesa. Add in some tasty drinks, superb guacamole, and just…
Celebs love Houstonite Alexandra Knight
Last night on the Golden Globes red carpet entrance and interview, Austin-loving Sandra Bullock was snapped carrying this turquoise alligator clutch from Houston designer Alexandra Knight. The classic Magnolia-style clutch is one of the Alexandra Knight’s best-sellers, and Sandy’s turquoise is spot-on for Spring trends. And this isn’t the first time Bullock has carried an…
