THL, so when the new addition to the family comes, would you still be considered a “cat lady” since having a rugrat would put you into the PLUSA baby mama category and not PLUSA cat lady category. I guess you can technically be in both.
holla bxgrl! 🙂
Agreed, CG ups!
30? That’s nuts. How is 30 an ‘older’ woman? You’re still in your fertile years. I would think 40 would be the minimal bar.
Crazy.
Bxgrl, Please give her a big hug for me. That’s just so awful and heartbreaking.
not saying I agree with it!!
dude. that is ridiculous. cougars are 40+ give the poor girls in their 30’s a break!
Dirty – have you been here yet? Article says it has slipped under the radar but perhaps not the Dirty Cocktail Radar?

Despite the buzz surrounding the arrival of the hyper-hip Ace Hotel (located in a former SRO planted on grubby lower Broadway, no less), the recent unveiling of its Breslin lobby bar has slipped under the radar.
Consider this your good fortune. Before the fashion-forward hordes invade the soaring, mosaic-tiled space, claim a broken-in suede couch, eye the curios (taxidermied critters, mercury flasks, science posters) and get acquainted with the chalkboard drinks menu, which includes fresh twists on classic cocktails and vibrant new concoctions.
The Hound on Fire adds a lip-tingling chile-salt rim to the standard gin-and-grapefruit Greyhound, while the Flatiron is a bracingly aromatic blend of ginger beer, lemon-whiskey bitters, basil and a hefty bolt of Rhum Clément. Even the Ace Old-Fashioned–in which smoky aged tequila stands in for bourbon–is new.
Although the hotel’s forthcoming Breslin restaurant (from Ken Friedman and April Bloomfield of The Spotted Pig and The John Dory fame) remains under wraps, you can keep hunger at bay with the bar’s offerings of salty scratchings (fried pork rinds) and crunchy potato chips flavored with malt vinegar and sea salt.
“30 is the commonly accepted age of a cougar.”
You’ve got to be kidding.
Cougars take to the high seas
