'Manhattan Madam' Claims Hedge Fund Ties, to run for New York governor

J.M. DarlingKristin Davis plans to run for governor with GOP Roger Stone's help. The ex-madam's former clients allegedly include Eliot Spitzer. "Manhattan Madam" Kristin Davis is tossing her lacy brassiere into the political ring - with the help of one of the GOP's most fearsome strategists. Though he's often labeled a "trickster," former Nixon, Reagan and Bushes operative Roger Stone tells us he's dead serious about getting Davis on the ballot. "This is not a hoax, a prank or a publicity stunt," said Stone, who has been quietly huddling with Davis for months. "I want to get her a half-million votes." Davis has spoken in the past about running against former Gov. (and alleged former client) Eliot Spitzer - to draw attention to the fact that she served nearly four months on Rikers Island while Client 9 escaped indictment. Davis laid out her credentials last weekend at a Libertarian Party convention on the lower East Side. "I was valedictorian of my high-school class," said the golden-tressed Davis, sporting a modest black suit but wicked Christian Louboutins with 5-inch heels. "I worked 10 years in finance. I was vice president of a hedge fund. I went on to build a multimillion-dollar business from scratch." While branding "taxation as confiscation," the former escort empress said the legalization of prostitution and marijuana could provide $2.5 billion in revenue to help close the budget gap. "I'm a natural Libertarian," said Davis. h ...

Coyotes spotted in Manhattan - NYPOST.com : "Wile E. Coyote and friends are invading Manhattan. Three coyotes turned up on the Columbia University campus on Sunday morning, prompting an e-mail alert to students and faculty. A few hours later, a coyote was spotted darting around bushes and across a frozen lake in Central Park. Urban coyote authorities say the dogs will likely be seen more and more in big cities as they fight one another for living space." -------------- Pretty soon they will be taking the elevator to the penthouse in somebody's condo building looking for tastier treats.

New Zhu Zhu Pets, Now With Celebrity Kid Names, to Take Manhattan Next Week

You have probably been wondering what the company that brought the world Zhu Zhu Pets last holiday season has planned for next week's massive toy fair in New York City. Well wonder no more! That company, Cepia Inc, has moved some $70 million worth of furry product, capitalizing on the parental desire to give kids what they want-- specifically, a pet--so long as there is no mess and no stink. Now they are adding a slight edge to the cute crowd already owned by about 7 million American households. The new lines, Zhu Zhu Rockstars and Zhu Zhu-Wild Bunch, feature the same sort of lovable, wheel-riding hamsters, only now they have fashionable haircuts and--could that really be?--even pet fauxhawks. And the new breed has names like "Kingston," "Rider," and "Roxie," which CnnMoney.com says are taken from the kids of celebrities. The desired audience for these Zhu Zhus skews a little older than the previous editions. A cynic might find fault with this faddish line and the gullible public's lust for the latest must-have little critter. But that same cynic is not charged with finding new and clever ways of making cash-strapped Americans open their wallets. And at $10 a pop, Cepia has landed on a price point that even the hardest-hearted cynics among us have to admire. Image: CnnMoney.com ...

Queen of Quirky Takes Manhattan

Source: melissa-singlegalinthecity.blogspot.com --- Monday, February 08, 2010
Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of catching up with Queen of Quirky blogger and galpal Stephanie. A Kansas City native, Stephanie and I clicked at the big BlogHer conference in Chicago last summer, finding we had both blogging and journalism-to-PR career trajectories in common. It was Stephanie’s first visit to NYC, so we enjoyed an action-packed girls night out on Saturday. Girls Night Out: Stephanie and me at Buddakan The evening’s festivities began with dinner at swanky Buddakan, site of Carrie and Big’s rehearsal dinner and one of my favorite restaurants. It never disappoints and this meal was no exception. For appetizers, we indulged in chili rock shrimp, taro puff pork lollipops and wok hay frog legs. The gastronomic bliss continued with braised short ribs and shrimp and lobster chow fun, and for dessert, a carrot-ginger cake with cream cheese ice cream that was beyond heavenly. Steph is quite the foodie, not to mention a great cook, so I can’t wait to try her take on Buddakan’s braised ribs. After dinner, we headed over to the Gansevoort Hotel, where we took in the dressed-to-be-seen scene at both the rooftop bar and Tanuki Tavern. Big Drink: Steph with Tanuki Tavern’s oversized cosmo Our last stop of the night -- Irish pub O’Flanagan’s, for some final cocktails and the sounds of cover band Planet Groove. We danced to some classic tunes (“500 Miles” and “Sweat--La La La Long” among them), toasted our friendship -- and tal ...

Rental firm Blackstone wins market share, and critics, in Lower Manhattan

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 21:37:17 GMT

Source: ny --- Monday, February 08, 2010
Kevin Ellerton, the CEO of Blackstone Properties, which has snagged a significant market share but also drawn ire from competitors. From the February issue: At the ripe old age of 24, Kevin Ellerton is managing to become one of the most powerful players in the Lower Manhattan rental game. To hear his competitors talk, he's also one of the most loathed. Ellerton is the CEO of Blackstone Properties, a company he started less than two years ago with a high school friend, David Yomtobian. (Ellerton's company has no relation to the powerful private equity firm the Blackstone Group.) By Ellerton's calculations, about half of all brokered rental deals in the Financial District and Battery Park City are inked by Blackstone agents. While executives at other Lower Manhattan firms say that number might be closer to 40 percent, they grudgingly concede that Blackstone has grabbed a formidable share of the rental market in a very short period of time.
