whiskey bent and hellbound

Gin is definitely my summer fling but when the air gets a little chilly there is nothing like a good nip of whiskey to keep you warm. For years, Buffalo Trace (great name, right?) was my go-to for its fantastic flavor and bargain price of $20 a bottle.

Then the hipsters wrapped their freelancing little fingers around it. Recently, I ordered a Buffalo Trace in Brooklyn and it was $8 a glass. Ouch, baby.

Enter the new sheriff in town; George Dickel No. 12. At $19 a bottle and under the new york radar, I think we're made for each other. It's a libation liberation!

every respectable lady needs a whiskey holster. duh.

and flooring made of reclaimed whiskey barrels. double duh.

Enjoy the weekend! Tonight, we're going to see Contagion with my lady crush Gwyneth. I'm pumped.

only dull people are brilliant at breakfast

My breakfast this morning is not cutting it; a peanut butter granola bar. Despite the old adage that adding peanut butter makes everything better, it kind of tastes like I'm biting into the New York Times.
