At Long Last, a Monorail for New York City?

By Matt Taylor
nymag.com — Most of the city's 2013 mayoral candidates came together to broach public-transportation issues in back-to-back forums at Baruch College in Manhattan on Wednesday. Anthony Weiner was there, looking very determined to come across as thoughtful and focused rather than bored (as the press corps has branded him at previous debates).

Rick Perry Tries to Poach New York Businesses

nymag.com — Nazi Dad Expecting Another Child He'll Try to Ruin Rick Perry, who has made a political trademark of splashy campaigns to lure businesses from other states, now sets his sights on New York City. He's spending five days in New York and Connecticut, where "he has courted, among others, gun manufacturers facing stricter laws in the wake of the Newtown shootings."

Palace Describes Kate Middleton’s Birth Plan in Great Detail

nymag.com — St. James's Palace released the particulars of Kate Middleton's birth plan to the public today, surely in an effort to quash rumors about the baby's gender, which were recently fueled by reports of the duchess purchasing a blue pram (psh, as if she'd buy it herself).

Christine Quinn Memoir Sold 100 Copies -- Daily Intelligencer

nymag.com — With Patience and Fortitude, her election-year memoir, had a print run of 75,000, but limited interest resulted in the publisher shipping just 5,000 copies to stores, only about 100 of which sold, the New York Times reports. ("No comment," said the publisher.) To be fair, the parts about bulimia and the Kardashians are available online for free.

Serena Williams Blames Steubenville Rape Victim -- Daily Intelligencer

nymag.com — If Rolling Stone's profile of Serena Williams had ended a few paragraphs earlier, there might have been some buzz among tennis fans about her criticizing a competitor who may or may not be Maria Sharapova, and writer Stephen Rodrick comparing her to Kim Jong-un.

Manhattan Gym Sued for Slippery Semen Floor

nymag.com — New York City man Marc Moskowitz claims he broke his shoulder when he slipped on a "foreign white substance" at the Bally Total Fitness on East 55th Street. The 66-year-old not-gay Moskowitz blames the culture of "cruising and lewd behavior" in the steam room, sauna, and locker rooms for the "bodily fluids and other evidence of sexual activity wherever it occurred throughout the gym."

Brazilians Overreacting to Nine-Cent Fare Hike -- Daily Intelligencer

By Dan Amira
nymag.com — Hundreds of thousands of Brazilians have poured into the streets of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo to protest against transit-system fare hikes ... of nine cents. It's more than that, of course: As CNN explains, the masses are upset about the government's priorities in general: They say the hike is just one more example of how government nickel-and-dimes the poorest out of their money, then throws it out on lavish, high-profile projects.

The Wall Street Journal Bloody Mary Correction -- Daily Intelligencer

nymag.com — From today's corrections page: "A Bloody Mary recipe, which accompanied an Off Duty article in some editions on June 8 about the herb lovage, called for 12 ounces of vodka and 36 ounces of tomato juice. The recipe as printed incorrectly reversed the amounts, calling for 36 ounces of vodka and 12 ounces of tomato juice."

My Failed Attempt at Getting My Balls ‘Ironed’

nymag.com — When I heard George Clooney goes to the spa to get his balls pressed wrinkle-free with a laser, or, in his words, "ironed," my first thought was, Does it hurt? But a quick phone call to Beauty Park, the Santa Monica medical spa run by cosmetologist-to-the-stars Jamie Sherill (or Nurse Jamie, as she prefers) alleviated that concern.

Stop Making Your Co-workers Eat Morning Dessert -- Daily Intelligencer

nymag.com — One of the downsides of working in a different city than most of my colleagues is that I am regularly tortured by e-mail notices of delicious treats being made available in the kitchen, 200 miles away from me. The upside is that I can avoid the horrible choice that often arises when such treats are made available in the morning.

Why Did Lululemon’s CEO Really Leave?

nymag.com — Lululemon's sheer-pants scandal is ancient history in fashion years by now, and many still believe it got way more attention than it merited to begin with. (Was it truly necessary for them to fire their CPO afterwards? We still think they should've sold that batch of see-through pants at a discount and called it a day.)
Amy Wicks Contributing Fashion News Editor, Glamour.com @amywicks01
RT @CharlotteCowles: Still confused why Lululemon's CEO is leaving. Why would anyone give up the right to wear spandex to work?http://t.co/…

New York Magazine

nymag.com — Architecture is an art that thrives on argument. The silent battles that poets and sculptors wage with themselves, architects need to articulate. Because a skyscraper costs so much more than a sonnet, because in the end others will build it, and because the finished product won't stand isolated on a page or a pedestal, people who design buildings expend their creative energies suggesting, defending, criticizing, revising, and adjusting to a thousand external needs.
