Pink Blog

New York City’s first women-only hostel is called Pink! It’s technically in a brownstone in Harlem, but the doors are pink (as you can see in the picture) and reportedly some of the decor is pink too. I’ve always thought the hosteling community was pretty friendly and you didn’t have to worry about safety, but obviously there is some concern – the Pink hostel uses safety as a selling point. I’m going to be staying in a NYC hostel in March, but I’m traveling with a guy, so I won’t be able to report on Pink. Too bad, I’d like to see it!

Originally it was just their family name – Mr. and Mrs. Pink and their hot dog stand got started in 1939. Today, though, Pinks Hot Dogs is a way of life…a pink way of life! The family members who operate the stand now have embraced pink as their color of decor, as you can see in this picture. They reportedly have some of the best hot dogs in L.A., and what delights me is that their menu includes a vegan dog! Officially it’s the “Patt Morrison Baja Veggie Dog” and comes with guacamole, chopped tomatoes, and chopped onions. But since they have the veggie dogs on site, I’m sure they wouldn’t mind putting something else together using one – like the grilled mushrooms and swiss cheese from the Mushroom Swiss Dog. This sounds so yummy, I wish I could get some!

This picture is from Picture is Unrelated, a blog about pictures that have no explanation but are definitely weird. I thought this was too cute to pass up!

When I saw this, I immediately went OMG WTF because I have a G1 and I try to keep up with its development. I hadn’t heard anything about this. It’s supposedly $500 from a site called Hello Kitty Phones, which claims to have modified it with a 7MP camera and the ability to play TV. Um, what? That ridiculousness, plus what looks like a badly done Photoshop job, makes me think this is a big ol’ fake.
