By Bwog Staff on Oct 24, 2009 10 Comments

Bwoglines: Getting What You Pay For

By Bwog Staff on Oct 24, 2009 6 Comments

Mike Bloomberg has broken his own campaign spending record, already blowing through $85.2 million with 11 days still to go. (AP) When you’re Hugh Hefner, you’re “old enough to be the great-grandfather of some of his girlfriends.” Oh, and old enough to receive front-webpage articles that describe your cultural contributions as “almost quaint.” (NYT) The […]

By Bwog Staff on Oct 23, 2009 2 Comments

Forty-eight straight hours in Butler is an unusual path to martyrdom. It’s autumn in Morningside Heights, and we’re evidently more hungry than genuinely wistful. Yoga has always been a scene, but now it’s official. DJ Earworm talks business; he’s actually quite articulate. Midwesterners are quaint.

In Defense of… Revson Plaza

By Bwog Staff on Oct 23, 2009 15 Comments

Bwog’s latest Defense project is of an architectural persuasion: Revson Plaza and its sculptures. Claire Sabel bravely takes on the task.

There […]
