Best for TGIF

Yes, Journey made it famous, Glee took it over and now we have a Ga-Elton-and Co. performance. The YMCA can finally take a back seat as #1 gay-vintage anthem.

Must See : Lagerfeld's Remember Now

If you haven't yet, jump over to Chanel-News and see Karl Lagerfeld's newest short film "Remember Now". It's a hot tale of cool kids in San Tropez. Love a good branded entertainment (double Cs and boucle for days); love a good Lagerfeld cameo.

Love a Good Sample Sale

Opening Ceremony's sample sale starts today at the Howard Street location. You better werq!

Best for Summer Entertaining

Even the trashiest of trannies knows that the well-appointed home is key for happiness. But what about the throughly thought-out beach house? With Fire Island looming, our attention turns to poolside entertaining. Face it, FIP is about the beach, the teas, the houses, and the romance (no matter how brief or sandy). But it's also about putting your lifestyle on display. The quarter share crowd can be as uppity as any UES dowager so you can't expect your landlord's standard issue Ikea to pass muster at your afternoon cocktail party. This is why we love LAPlates. The online mom and pop shop rolled out their first collection of monogrammable, customizable, melamine plates 2006 and have grown their products to include super-cool coasters, cups and cutting boards ideal for slicing lemons on the lanai. Most importantly, LAPlates are a green solution to glass-free entertaining; no more wasteful and ugly disposables.

Best for Day 39

We all love a good Ga! Even the little straight(ish) 6th grade boys. This homage shows off his own style as well as his fairly advanced keyboard skills. Pay no attention to the horrified looks coming from the girls in the background, they are clearly just jealous.

Shoes 8

"You can always tell a tranny by her shoes." In "Shoes", TTT gives a stage to the foundation of any fabulous outfit: the boots, loafers, clogs and heels that we all put on each day.With Memorial Day just three weeks away, it's time to start considering white shoes in the city. A white leather lace-up transitions well on summer fridays from the office to the LIRR.

Best for Friday

You know summer is well on its way when the new roof installation at the Met has opened. Here is what the Met has to say:

"The monumental bamboo structure, ultimately measuring 100 feet long, 50 feet wide, and 50 feet high, will take the form of a cresting wave that bridges realms of sculpture, architecture, and performance."

It's a great place to meet friends after work. Have a drink, mingle, network and enjoy the beautiful views before the heat was you sweating through your lightweight cashmere.

Must See : Gaga on American Idol

According to WWD, you can expect to see Gaga on tonight's "American Idol" wearing this little Armani number. The Ga and The Gio have developing quite a relationship; Armani said that Gaga is a, “modern phenomenon who has proved to be fascinating, and whose every appearance is a piece of theatre.” Gaga wore Armani to the Grammy Awards and this week's Costume Institute Gala.

Spotted @ Valentino for Flowers, Chic & Cheap

Last night, Elle Décor editor at large, Carlos Mota, celebrated the launch of his new book, Flowers Cheap & Chic, with a party at the Valentino showroom on Madison and 65th St. The space provided a crisp, airy backdrop for the fete featuring full-bloom florals and very pretty people. SPOTTED sipping hibiscus-themed vodka cocktails at Valentino . . . our favorite RHONY, Kelly Kiloran Bensimon . . . designers Douglas Hannant, and Adam Lippes of ADAM, both with boyfriends . . . Paul Sevigny playing DJ. . . InStyle's Hal Rubenstein . . . ad man and friend of the author, Mark Daniel . . . career socials, Zani Gugelmann, Amanda Hearst, Allison Sarofim and Fabiola Beracasa, who confessed to TTT, "I am exhausted after last night [The Costume Institute's American Woman Gala]. I was at the Boom Boom Room until 4!" . . .

Purge: Smartphone Lunches

Yes, we are ALL guilty of this, whether it be during a weekday lunch with coworkers or at Sunday brunch with your beau and co.: phones on the table. Up close and personal, they have become the centerpiece of most dining establishments around New York. It's time to put them away kiddies. Really, it only a disservice to yourself; take a break from everyone else's business (including work) for an hour a day. Enjoy a little face time and your chicken salad sandwich. Just think of how many BBMs you will have to look forward to when you get back to the office.

Best for Saturday Retail

With forecasted highs in the upper 80s, Jonathan Adler could not have picked a better day to celebrate spring than tomorrow. Luckly for him, New York weather will provide a perfect backdrop for his in-store soirées across the city. Pop in for 15% off, plus snacks and cocktails. If you're lucky, you may meet the man himself. Love a cocktail, love a sale!

Worst for Day : Countess LuAnn's "Money Can't Buy You Class"

THE COUNTESS LuAnn de Lessepes' single "Money Can't Buy You Class" is simply painful, not that we expected any better. For all that she's got going for her (the show, her figure, that Kathleen Turner/Marlboro Miles voice), LuAnn should stick to her strengths and avoid her liabilities, such as singing. It's hard on the ears and the heart.
Worst of all, from genre, to beat, to haughty affectation, "Money Can't Buy You Class" is a complete knock-off of one of the best disco songs with a teachable message of all time, Eartha Kitt's "Where is My Man?" If you are new to disco with a message, we suggest you skip The Countess and head for The Queen. Eartha.

Must See : Gaga by UO's Male A'cappella Group, On The Rocks

EVERYONE we know is waiting on pins and hypodermic needles for the all-Gaga episode of "Glee". Since that is still weeks away, here's a little taste of what may be to come: On the Rocks, The University of Oregon's male a'cappella group performs "Bad Romance" complete with choreography and shout-outs to "Poker Face" and "Paparazzi". Think of this as the amuse-bouche to "Glee"'s Gaga entrée.

Worst for Day

Two days after members of the TTT editorial team SPOTTED The MARC's piercing blue eyes from beneath a baseball cap outside Pastis in the Meatpacking District, comes news that the designer and public relation's man Lorenzo Martone are calling it quits. Page Six reports that sources say Martone has vacated the Chelsea love nest and did not accompany Marc Jacobs to Massachusetts for the P-town wedding of his business partner, Robert Duffy, at which MJ served as best man. Moving out of the Mercantile Building and stepping down as your husband's wedding date? All is not well on Bleecker Street!

UPDATE!

The Boston Herald includes Martone in its story about Robert Duffy's wedding. Also noted were the inclusion of hired stripers at the wedding. Strippers! Trash. Either way, we hope the boys get it together or we'll never see this again.

Best for (To)night :

Listen-up trannies: GUMBO, the Thursday night gay party in DUMBO (which has been lauded as the gay party by Out, Time Out NY, Next Magazine, and, of course, TTT) has moved 24 hours down the calendar to Fridays. Tonight, shamble on down to Galapagos Art Space (16 Main Street, Brooklyn) for a night of boozing and cruising with the most eligible guys in the key 24-36 gay demo. This isn't Boiler Room so bring your best cocktail conversation and your game face. FYI for regulars: Unlike the Thursday night iteration, the new GUMBO starts at 10 and goes until 4. Two-for-one drinks from 12-1am! RSVP via Facebook.

Must See : the Metropolitan Etiquette Authority

WPIX reports on a New York artist who is fed up with the general disgustingness of the MTA experience and is doing something about it. Jason Shelowitz makes MTA-lookalike signs reminding the trash on the trains to not use the subway as an opportunity to grope others, clip their toenails or commit 8 other offenses to gentility. Of course signs aren't going to do anything, but the concept is cute enough.

The New Ivy Campus

I mean, any press is good press- yes? A recent article in the Observer highlights 2 of our favorite things: Williamsburg and The Ivy-League, namely who reigns supreme: Yale vs. Harvard. Whether you find it sad or funny, the article read true. We have included a few key highlights (with TTT comments in red) below:

Mr. Bradley’s classmate, Slate editor Jacob Weisberg, was more specific but no less clear. “I mean, Williamsburg is sort of the Yale campus without the classes, right?” he said. “Brooklyn’s where Yale graduates belong; Washington is more where Harvard graduates belong.(and NYU boys can keep the East Village) Harvard, though it sends many graduates to New York—hello! this reporter among them—does not have the same relationship with New York as Yale—in part for the simple reason that it is much further away.

As Mr. Bradley put it: “The Harvard Club still feels to me like an outpost of another city—like it’s a subsidiary of a company that’s based somewhere else. The Yale Club feels more … I don’t know, Yale and New York always go together. Of course they do.” (Reminder Yalies, its getting nice out make use of the YC rooftop bar. Decent martini’s and on the way home from work)

Yalies in New York feel intense loyalty toward one another. Most of them love hanging out together, and prefer it to hanging out with anyone else.

There is a notion among Yaliens—the nonnative New Yorkers among them, at least—that the city is owned by them. (sad, but true) They covet ownership of it when they arrive, eyeing with frustrated envy the graduates of Columbia and N.Y.U. in their midst who have already been here for four years. (envy is a strong word, most NYU boys cant find their way past Eastern Bloc, oh wait, sorry, forgot about Rockit)

“They’ll [Yalies] throw around names of places in a way Harvard kids don’t,” one Columbia student complained. “They’ll say, ‘I’m at Botanica,’ even if they don’t know if you, someone who goes to school here, know what Botanica is, whereas I think Harvard kids would say, ‘I’m at a bar in Soho. It’s called Botanica.’ (well there is a lot wrong with this. Namely, who goes to “a bar in Soho” no one would ever say that. Period. That is the last place anyone would go for drinks.)

Really, this will always be an ongoing argument—like blackberry vs. iphone. Which ever one you have, you think is better. And then there are the phone stackers (aka have work Blackberry and personal iPhone), Yale undergrad Harvard grad (or visa-versa) yes, there are a few mincing around the city.

Fashion's Night Out 2010

Ever the innovator, Anna Wintour has big plans for this year's Fashion's Night Out. SmartChicStyle reports that the Vogue-spearheaded event will kick-off with an enormous 200 model, 1,500 seat fashion show on September 7th at Lincoln Center. The purpose of the show is to highlight key trends and inspire shoppers to purchase them. Tickets to the mega-show go on sale this summer.

Best For Day : 4/20

Today is April 20th, known by college kids as 4-20, the high holy day of St. Mary J. Juana. Some say the use of "420" originated L.A. police code for pot smoking in progress. Others claim 4:20pm was the time high schools in California let out in the '70s and the numeric slang refers to the Left coast's after school activity of choice. Debating the origins of "420" is a little too stoner for our tastes. When it comes to weed, we follow the WWMD? (What Would Mischa Do?) rule, which is, smoke it if you got it. And if you are on a beach, in a nightclub or the driver's seat of a convertible parked outside Fred Segal, well, all the better. 4/20 is best for 4/20.

Best for Brunch

Kittichai at the Thompson Hotel is certainly not the first place one would think to make a brunch reservation. But after suggested by a long time TTT friend, we decided to check it out. $20 may only get you one drink at the exclusive summertime rooftop club; but for brunch, it will get you an entree and unlimited signature brunch cocktails. Not overly crowded and certainly no sense of a hurried meal, this is a new TTT pick. Great for a gloomy spring afternoon and certainly great for spotting. The menu is eclectic and the attractive wait staff was more than accommodating. A great place to get tipsy before traipsing up to Soho for a little afternoon shopping.
