So You Think You Can DATE NEIL?

I'm dogsitting the lovable Austin-pants, which means that for the week I have a pup, a sweet pad in Soho and a subscription to Time Out and New York mag. This week's Time Out is obvi about Valentine's Day and has Judah Friedlander and a bunch of other single NYers on the cover with a dating guide inside. I scanned the little pics thinking I'd come across at least an ex or someone a friend had boned. But to my SHEER DELIGHT the only familiar face Ispotted was the beautiful blonde Neil Haskell, a finalist on Season 3 of best-show-ever So You Think You Can Dance and someone I had an immense reality TV crush on! He is a great dancer and was very personable and funny on the show. My roommate sometimes sees him and other SYTYCDance hotties at Broadway Dance Center and I knew that Neil was in Alter Boyz off Broadway, but didn't know his relationship status (um, or really sexual orientation for that matter, he's looking for a lady. Go for it, Annie) until now. If I wasn't a happily married woman I'd be all about it, but since I can only look, mama needs someone to touch. Please date Neil (pictured right)! Check out his profile and email this pirouetting stud muffin. (And someone please check on Travis and Ivan while we're at it)

If you're still not sure whether or not you'd enjoy seeing Neil with his shirt off, here are some stalkery pictures that should quiet any doubts. And maybe watching this video of him and his limber levitating pelvic region will further seal the deal:

Everybody's Eating Lisa's Delicious Treats

Or at least they will be soon! If you read this blog then you know about my reinvented love of [vegan] baking and if you are lucky enough you've tasted said treats in real life, so you know what's up. I've found that people are really intrigued by the concept of vegan baking, so I wanted a way to demystify the process and make it fun and sexy while sharing my newfound favorite recipes. For the past couple months I've been developing the idea for an online baking show with my roommate Joe and other friends who are willing to lend hands, skills, and equipment. With a shit-out-of-luck-and-jobs economy becoming the next YouTube sensation might eventually be more worthwhile than trying to find a "real" job.

So be on the look out for Lisa's Delicious Treats, currently in pre-production, soon to be titillating your tastebuds! You'll have to wait for the food porn, but here's a sneak peak at the fashions. I fell in love with these retro pinup girl aprons from Carolyn's Kitchen (left, Sweetheart Hot Pink Apron $42), and ordered up one for the show! Carolyn West, who created these "Susy Homefaker" designs is so sweet and I loved the story behind them and always want to share any interesting indie designers I come across. Even if their fashions are meant to be worn in the kitchen! Also hot for our Peta peops out there, check out Carolyn's faux fur kitchen gloves - UM, ADORABLE!! Here's hoping she has some similarly sexy oven mitts coming out in the future...

Oh, and sorry for the blog hiatus, but I had some holiday/birthday/job stuff/boring things/etc to tend to. From here on out it is SO ON.
