Books / Event The Shoes of 'Summer and the City'
Posted by Edward Adams on Fri, Jul 1, 2011 at 2:39 PM
From what I do know about the show, Sex and the City, Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) was obsessed with Manolo Blahnik shoes. She gravitated towards stiletto heels like a junkie loves crack cocaine. What is it about the shoes that makes a girl go ga-ga?
While I'll probably never understand the unique bond between a woman and her shoe rack, I was able to spot some interesting footwear and some outstanding bling at the Hypnotiq Harmonie 'Summer and the City' party at the W Hotel Buckhead. Author Candace Bushnell was in town for an exclusive party to promote her new book, a prequel to the SATC books entitled, "Summer and the City: A Carrie Dairies Novel".
Believe it or not, I didn't get a picture of Candace Bushnell's shoes - but I'm sure they were uh, "fierce!"

Since then, I've made it through two movies, tons of pool parties and even some dates where the "which character from SATC do you think I am" has come up. FYI, nobody wants to be called a Samantha to their face on a first date.

Books Marvel and NYC team up to find Spider-Man a job
Posted by Edward Adams on Wed, Nov 17, 2010 at 3:18 PM
Earlier today, New York City Mayor, Michael Bloomberg held a press conference at a local comic book shop to announce that he's giving Spider-man a job. According to a press release from the mayor's office, Marvel Comics has partnered with the mayor's office and the New York Daily News to create a special edition of The Amazing Spider-Man comic book entitled "Spider-Man, You're Hired."
The eight-page comic follows Spidey's alter ego, a now frustrated Peter Parker as he searches for a job. A chance encounter with Mayor Bloomberg leads to a conversation that helps him utilize the resources provided by New York City.
“New York City provides free, first-rate job training and placement assistance, and we want every New Yorker that needs help to know about it, so we asked Spider-Man to help us spread the word,” said Mayor Bloomberg. “One of the reasons we created the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment was to find new ways to connect with New Yorkers. Our partnership with Marvel and the Daily News is a fun and innovative way to let everyone know about the web of resources the City has to offer New Yorkers that need job assistance.”
The Amazing Spider-Man: You're Hired was distributed today as an insert in The New York Daily News and is also available on Marvel's iPhone app. The comic was written by Warren Simon and illustrated by artist Todd Nauck. The cover was illustrated by Phil Jimenez.
