Growing up in Williamsburg my whole life, I’ve always been surrounded with and intrigued by the Hasidic community, and understandably so – in my 21 years as a Brooklynite, there are still hundreds of questions unanswered. Read more »
Good news apartment hunters. When browsing for mostly overpriced residential cubicles on Craigslist, there’s also now an option to view NYC’s World Landlords Watchlist (2.0). The Google Map mashup was launched by Public Advocate Bill de Blasio and is a handy way to see just show slummy some of the city’s landlords are.
The street art scavenger who stole a FAILE prayer wheel back in April of 2009 is having a hard time selling the piece, but is still quite determined to do so. After a few unsuccessful attempts last year, the wooden sculpture is being offered on Craigslist for “$9999 or best offer CA$H.” It’s also “Garanteed [sic] authentic from the streets of brooklyn.”
After Conan put the Tonight Show up for sale on Craigslist last week, the soon-to-be-fired late night host kicked things off this week with a barrage of insults for NBC and a personal ad on the “Casual Encounters” section. He listed himself as a “Tall, slender redhead available for nighttime recreation.” Email your offers here.

More than two decades after releasing smash hit “Top Billin,” Audio Two’s Milk Dee is apparently getting back in the game and just like the days of Yo! MTV Raps, he’s doing a video. The production company behind the project put out a casting call for some “very vulumpsious females” to appear with Hip Hop’s original one hit wonder. Translated that means “if you are an average model with no curves please don’t apply.” Also, white, Asian, and all of South America to the back of the line: “LOOKING FOR MAINLY PUERTO RICAN AND BLACK BUT REVIEWING OTHERS.” Click below for the full casting call.

After striking a multi-state deal to make it harder for prostitutes to place sex ads on its “erotic services” section, Craigslist is now being pressured to figure out how to limit the rampant drug solicitation going on. Apparently “ski lift tickets” in the NYC area have nothing to do actual skiing. |NYDN|
Prostitutes are going to have a harder time using Craigslist to flaunt their services now that the popular website will “require that advertisers in its “erotic services section” pay a fee with a valid credit card and give a working phone number,” which could either kill business or just transfer it all to the “casual encounters section.” |Reuters|

If there’s one thing that I could change about myself, it’s that I’d be a dude. It’s not that I want a wiener or anything like that (frankly, wieners are fairly narsty appendages, if you ask me)…it’s just that I would really, really, really prefer not to have a uterus.

Last night after a minor tiff, my boyfriend picked up my cat and lovingly asked her, “Pong, how would you like to see Mommy get ripped apart by bears?” To which I affectionately responded that I was going to have to pee in his mouth while he was sleeping later that night. He told me I was sweet, but that he was going to chop my tits off with a machete. I informed him that he is a sick, twisted bastard and I was going to have to go have sex with another man for revenge. To which he responded with good riddance. Then we brushed our teeth, got into bed, and fell asleep watching Sports Center. All was right in the world.
