Our Favor!te Things 2010: Stephanie Meyers
Favor!te Book: The Hunger Games series. (Yes, I am still 12 years old at heart.)
Favor!te Designer: Karen Millen, because of her stunning and uber-flattering and tantalizingly close-to-affordable dress collection.
Favor!te TV show: Fringe, Castle, and Boardwalk Empire are in the running, but… Glee. (See above, re: 12 years old.) 
Favor!te Blog/Website: Hyperbole and a Half. “This is why I’ll never be an adult” is a must read.
Favor!te Twitterer: Shameless author plug alert! @evilwylie (a.k.a. @andrewtshaffer)
Favor!te YouTube Video: OK Go!, This Too Shall Pass

Our Favor!te Things 2010: Tracy McMillan
Favor!te Film: The Social Network 
Favor!te Album: Because I have a 13-year-old son and live in Los Angeles, I end up logging many, many miles of hip-hop radio in the car. I am age-appropriately shocked at most of it, but I will say Drake is very impressive. And Lil Wayne has quite the knack for melody.
Favor!te Book: I’ve had the same favorite book for years now: Passionate Marriage by David Schnarch – changed my understanding of relationships. For current books, I know I will love Freedom by Jonathan Franzen – but I’ve been too damn busy to read it. 
Favor!te Work of Art: Loved the William Eggleston show at the LA County Museum of Art.
Favor!te Designer: Rodarte. And Vuitton. But my real fashion-world fave: photographer Scott Schuman’s Sartorialist. Genius!
Favor!te TV show: Friday Night Lights, hands down. And always, the cheesy real-estate show Property Virgins, on the Home and Garden Channel. It’s my guilty pleasure.
Favor!te Blog/Website: I do all my procrastinating on the New York Times online. My two favorite jams: Weddings and Celebrations, and Great Homes and Destinations.
Favor!te Twitterer: The novelty wore off very quickly. Now it’s just a horn-tooting, cleverness machine for writers and comedians.
Favor!te You Tube Video: I’m always shocked at how great stupid videos are once you actually watch them. Antoine Dodson is a classic. Also, Teach Me How to Dougie. Obviously, I live with a teenager.
Favor!te Internet Meme: I think maybe I’m too old for internet memes.
What are you most excited about for 2011? Another great year of life.
Who do you most want to smooch on New Year’s Eve? I’d give my kid a kiss, but he pretends not to know me when we’re in public.
What do you want the most as a holiday gift? It’s boring, but I would really love a great pair of slippers.

Our Favor!te Things 2010: Rachel Shukert
Favor!te Film: I loved The King’s Speech. It’s like My Fair Lady, but with
the English Royal Family and the impending Nazi threat, and when I saw it
I thought finally! Someone’s made a movie for a focus group of only me.
It’s like proof that the Secret works.
Favor!te Album: I purposefully stopped paying attention to new music
when I moved to New York in 1998, like how kids from Bible Belt move here
and give up God. I will say that my personal listenership of the original
cast recording of A Little Night Music was +27%, while that of the original
cast recording of Candide went -43%.
Favor!te Book: I don’t know how to be diplomatic about this one. At least
it wasn’t my own. That would be SO tacky.
Favor!te Designer: Alexander McQueen, right? That’s the only logical
answer. He didn’t stick around for most of 2010, sadly.
Favor!te TV show: Peep Show. I’m just obsessed with that show. It’s my
favorite of all time, even though it doesn’t air in America and it messes
up my computer whenever I try to stream it. And I like Mad Men, being as
how I am a New York media type that belongs to a certain socio-economic
bracket, although I’m pleased to say that my unhealthy overidentification
with Betty Draper has lessened considerably this year. And I have kind
of a love hate relationship with all the Real Housewives shows, in that I
love them, but I hate the fact that they mean there will probably never be a
remake of Dynasty now, because this is just so much cheaper.
Favor!te Twitterer: My friend Ben Rimalower, (@benrimalower) and his
quixotic dream of making #pattilupone a trending topic on Twitter.
Favor!te You Tube Video: I was a pretty big sucker for that little boy who
cried when he couldn’t be a Single Lady. But then my friend Evan sent
me this trailer for this movie called “Christmas With a Capital C” which is
about some big city slickster elitist who wants to take Christmas away from
the hard-working folk of Trapper Falls, Alaska. It’s sweet when Gentiles try
to make movies. It reminds me of Count Bessie, the piano-playing chicken
from that episode of The Golden Girls.
What are you most excited about for 2011? Maybe I’ll finally figure out
what this lump at the back of my neck is!
Who do you most want to smooch on New Year’s Eve? The lovely Ben.
And after that, the lovely Alec Baldwin.
What do you want the most as a holiday gift? I have been looking
everywhere for a pair of black pull-on riding boots with a tan cuff, like
the kind you wear fox-hunting. I have been looking for these boots for
probably like four years. This year I found this amazing pair at Fratelli
Rossetti, and then I got spooked by the price and didn’t buy them, which
was probably a good decision from a financial standpoint, but has left me
an emotional wreck. So if anyone comes across them in a size 7.5, you
heard it here. I also want peace on Earth and a really nice lemon zester.

COVET: What I Want Right Now
The thing about jewelry is that it is generally only used to embellish one small part of our bodies – ears, neck, wrist, etc. But why think so small? Why not consider jewelry a layering tool? I’ve already gushed over Babette Epaulette’s beautiful shoulder jewelry, but now I’m dying to try the body chains made by 22 year-old Luv Aj designer Amanda Thomas. Handmade from vintage pieces, these delicate chains have been spotted on celebrities like Ashlee Simpson, Lindsay Lohan, and Ashley Tisdale. Drape one on to add a unique sparkle to any tshirt or dress:
The Cross Armor Body Chain, $198
Ashley Tisdale
The Chainmaille Body Chain, $225
The Chandelier Body Chain, $175
The White Body Chain, $150
Amanda Thomas also designs necklaces, rings, and bracelets, but her body chains are truly stunning. What do you think – would you rock this style??
Black Swan: or, Showgirls 2
Wow, those people online sure are crafty! Some genius out there as done a mash-up trailer for the too-gay-to-function camp classic, Showgirls and newly released Natalie Portman vehicle, Black Swan. The similarities of the two films are striking, and I’m surprised it took this video to make me realize it. If you’ve never seen Showgirls, shoot yourself run to the Netflix immediately, invite a friend or two over and open a bottle of tequila because you’re in for a treat. The bar is high, Black Swan….I hope you can keep up.

On the Occasion of the Death of Leslie Nielsen
One of our favorite authors, Rachel Shukert, has written a heart-felt tribute to the beloved Leslie Nielsen. We graciously share it with you below.
_____________________________________
On the Occasion of the Death of Leslie Nielsen
I gathered round my children
On this cold December morn
To tell them of the greatest star
Since Jesus Christ was born
A shock of hair as purely white
As a nest of eiderdown
A rosy round proboscis
Like a virile circus clown
His last name it was Nielsen
His first name it was Leslie
Whilst wearing full-length latex
He boned Priscilla Presley
As Police Squad Sergeant Drebin
He kept us from strife
With his partner O.J. Simpson
Before he killed his wife
With little but his naked gun
He vanquished our foe Libya
While Simpson’s hapless Nordberg
Broke yet another tibia
Yet even at his triumphs
He swallowed all his pride
That each of us should know just how
A man can hurt inside
Then he wedded Dorothy Zbornack
On that Floridian lanai
And like life, the series ended
In the blinking of an eye
My sadness overcame me
With no hope of relief
I had to speak to Leslie
To overcome my grief
I wept: “Surely, you’ll be sorely missed,
You left us far too early.”
Then from the underworld I heard a cry
Rumbling: “Please don’t call me Shirley.”

COVET: What I Want Right Now
Lately I’ve been kind of obsessed with the idea of convertible clothing. Why limit your clothes or accessories to just one purpose when they could have more? Saves time and money!
Take, for instance, this fantastic new scarf / bag combo created exclusively for OfaKind by husband-and-wife team Symmetry Goods. Made of contrasting herringbone and ikat fabrics, this limited edition scarf features two detachable straps that help transform it from neck warmer to grocery holder. Perfect for impulse purchases. Get it at the OfaKind site for $225.
Fare thee well!

My talented and courageous colleagues will take the reins from here, which only means great things for YIL going forward.

The Call of the Wild
Celebrities like Khloe Kardashian, Annalynne McCord, Snoop Dogg, and Audrina Patridge have been caught channeling their inner wild animal with the hot new fashion accessory: SpiritHoods. Made entirely of faux fur, these hat / scarf hybrids come in a wide variety of lion, wolf, leopard, and bear styles. According to the website:
“SpiritHoods are more than just a wild accessory, they represent this bond and the connection we have with our wild natures. Whether you love fashion, adventure, animals, music, festivals, nightlife, the outdoors, or are simply wild at heart – SpiritHoods are a NECESSITY for your life style. It’s simply about letting loose, being wild and having a good time.
Wow. How can you argue with a NECESSITY?
Available for both men and women, and priced from $59 – $129, each hood style comes with its own personality description. For instance:
THE RED WOLF ($129):
Loyal » Social » Teacher
Those with a wolf spirit are fiercely loyal creatures. They are team players and work well in groups. The wolf is a social animal and a great communicator, often teaching those around it.
THE FOX (Worn by Khloe Kardashian, $129):
Adaptability » Diplomacy » Wisdom
People with the Fox Spirit are intelligent animals. They are cunning, attentive and masters of disguise. The Fox is adaptable, able to blend into many different circumstances with ease. People with the Fox Spirit are able to observe a situation, acquire a desired outcome and move with swiftness and thought of action in order to obtain this outcome. (more…)
