The lure of the big apple

Been looking at some travel information on NYC, been wanting to go there for the longest time but haven't yet found the time and budget to do it.

And from what I see, these two would definitely be on my to-do list! Woot woot!

Gossip Girl Sites Tour

Experience a day in the life of Manhattan's elite on the Gossip Girl TV Sites tour! Enter the playground of the privileged prep school teens on a brand new tour of more than 30 Gossip Girl Sites that were used on the hit TV series.

Follow the path of Serena, Blair, Chuck, Dan, Vanessa and Nate on this three hour guided bus tour that goes to locations that were used in filming the hit TV series. Discover behind the scenes information and little known facts about the cast and crew of Gossip Girl from local New York City actors and actresses who are the guides on this exciting tour.

* Visit the hotel, home to the Bass and Van der Woodsen families, where so many of the scenes from Gossip Girl take place

* Be "spotted" by that most ubiquitous blogger at the Constance Billard School for Girls/St. Jude School for Boys

* See the lavish Fifth Avenue building that Blair Waldorf calls home

* Shop at Henri Bendel where Blair and Serena shop

* Sample a treat from the Humphrey's favorite bakery

* Pass by the movie theater where Serena stood Dan up for their date.

 

Sex and the City Hotspots Tour

Follow in the fancy footsteps of Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda on a 'Sex and the City' tour! You'll conquer New York City and drink where the girls drink, shop where they shop, and gossip where they gossip.

Highlights

* Get inside tips from a local

* Choice of several departures throughout the day

* Comprehensive tour by bus/coach

* Conducted in English

On the Sex and the City Hotspots Tour you'll see more than 40 locations from the famous TV series, including:

* The Pleasure Chest where Charlotte bought her 'rabbit'

* The bakery where Miranda stuffed herself with cupcakes

* Scout - the bar owned by Steve and Aidan

* Go on location to the gallery in SOHO where Charlotte worked

* The furniture store where Aidan designed his tables and chairs

* Stop at a bar used on the show

Bday has started early!

That time of the year has secretly snuck up on me again. Another year has passed, another year of fulfilment and wisdom (I hope!). I have been blessed to have so many wonderful people and things around me and can only thank whoever's out there for taking care of me.

Anyhoo, bdays are also of course, excuses for consumerism. The founder of capitalism must have thought of this excellent idea. Why not get ppl to celebrate their bdays by spending and buying heaps of stuff? Unfortunately I was brought up in a time of capitalism and it cannot hold any more true for me. Hehe. So first up, my bday pressie!!!



Hehe.. That beautiful box..






With my beautiful wallet!! Hehe and it matches perfectly w my coin purse..

Say it isn't so

I reckon, I fucked up. Pretty badly. Sighs

Workplaces of the future?

Queer honour

Former MFS, Allco Finance and City Pacific auditor KPMG has bounced back from its troubles to claim the honour of international corporation of the year from the International Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce.

In a media release dispatched to CBD yesterday, KPMG declared it was honoured to have won the gong.

"KPMG has long been committed to making our organisation a great place to work and nurturing careers," one of the firm's partners, Liz Forsyth, said.

Must have been one hell of an after-party. The award was announced in Copenhagen in late July. The audit firm also boasted its launch of what it calls KGEN – KPMG's Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Employee Network.

But a KPMG spokeswoman conceded the firm was yet to become a member of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Business Association.

It also appears the firm has yet to jump aboard and help sponsor the Sydney gay community's main corporate business networking event: Fruits in Suits. The monthly event, which attracts up to 300 business people, is looking for a sponsor.

With one of the big wigs making such a step, I'm sure it opens the floodgates to more companies following suit – which in my opinion, is a good thing. Why discriminate against gays and lesbians? They're there to work, not date the office.

And to end off, I thought this was pretty funny. It got noted as the "Best court listing of the week" - Her Tribe Investments Pty Ltd vs His Tribe Investments Pty Ltd. They should just get "married" and become "OUR" Tribe Investments. hehs
