Hey look you guys! It’s this again!

So we edited the reel again, again. Think of it like the kind of nose job that people get after a nose job. Like with the first one, you definitely know that they’re now sporting a different nose because they once suffered a deviated septum or had their nose broken a bunch of times (those are always the justifications. have you noticed?) but then suddenly one day their smaller nose is even smaller and more, um, “refined” which is a very nose job word. In fact, I should wear a button that says “Ask Me About Nose Jobs!” I could dangle it off the end of my unrefined nose (I just happen to know a lot about them because it was a weird teenage obsession of mine. I also know about horses and toe shoes.) Right, so anyway, this is the reel you’ve already seen but it’s been tightened and improved and sandblasted and fortified. Also, now there’s music at the end and my name lights up!

But my need to shout about every tiny change I make on this thing makes me wonder if I ever were to get plastic surgery, would I also be trumpeting that? I kind of think I would. I’m a very trumpety person. [not making any cabbage jokes. not making them. this is me not making ... jesus, this is hard!]

Alison’s Beauty Secrets

Whatever the occasion, Alison always manages to look her best despite living a busy cosmopolitan lifestyle. How does she do it? Blessed with natural beauty, are there other steps she takes to enhance her appearance?

Below is an analysis revealing Alison’s beauty secrets.


Look, Spaceagent, if that’s your real fake name, I suffered 4 years of braces and the best you can say is that I have “normal” jaw occlusion? You WISH you occluded so well.

(I’m kidding. I’m flattered that you think I have no open sores.)

That’s what he said after I interviewed him today.

I’m in Playboy

No, not like that! In the January 2008 issue they round up the Year in Sex and they blurbed my exchange with Ed Koch (here’s the story as it originally appeared in Time Out New York). Thanks to the reader who tipped me off. That sounds dirty, doesn’t it? Funny how everything can sound dirty when you view the world through flesh-colored glasses.

Also, I will post more photos soon. I have more Tobey photos and I have a bunch of me after various TV things which I took in case I wanted to try to remember how they did my makeup.

UPDATE! NOW WITH LINKS: Fall preview

In New York or near the internet? Presumably you are because you’re looking at this blog. I wrote the cover story in the fall preview issue of Time Out New York on stands tomorrow and I also wrote the “3 Questions with…” near the front of the magazine. The latter was with a mime. A chatty mime. I’m not even making that up. And the thing is that I wanted him to just pantomime his answers but he wouldn’t do it without commentary. Eventually I gave up and just interviewed him human to human instead of human to mime. There was no hot mime on human action. But I think it was funny nonetheless. And the cover story is on Kristen Wiig.

In this delightful series I believe I was trying to come up with more butt puns while communicating that I’m aware how cheesy it is to make a bunch of said cracks. CRACKS! Dangit I missed that one.
