I used to have absolutely no opinion on Lady Gaga other than the fact that I fucking hated Poker Face. And that wasn't even a jab at her, I just fucking HATED the song. Anyway, no opinion on her whatsoever.
Then a few years ago, she stepped out wearing this outfit after a plethora of tabloids criticized her for gaining weight.
Seeing her in this outfit made me like her. Maybe that's a dumb reason to suddenly like a stranger, but that's all it took for me to start having an opinion on her. Still no thoughts on her music at this point.
THAT opinion changed again after I recently saw her perform in Atlantic City. This woman? Fantastic. Forgive me for being THE LAST ONE TO KNOW, but I suppose it's better late than never. I can't describe what a fun show it was. I hadn't heard even one song off her new album Artpop before seeing her and I was still just in awe of her. The entire setlist was great, her outfits were way too fun and magnetic to look at - she's such a great performer. Even her between-songs banter was good! If you have a chance to see her on this tour, there's no reason not to. I'll still never like Poker Face, but this woman is incredible.

DRINK THIS DRINK. That's really all I need to say about it. I'd put off going to Momofuku Noodle Bar for a few reasons:
- I already have a Momofuku installation that I frequent and love - do I really need another?
- They've obtained a grade B on their health inspection (unless that has changed recently?)
- I don't really get ramen.
I managed to ignore all of those valid points when a friend of mine came to town and really wanted to go. I can be persuaded into pretty much anything, sometimes.
Anyway, the noodles here? Good. Nothing to write home about. But the Singapore Sling? It's frozen and man oh man. Best thing they've got.
I finally got around to trying some Big Gay soft-serve ice cream and it was fantastic. Not crazy melty (like a typical Mister or Master Softee cone) and I somehow didn't end up with a huge mess once I was finished.
People have been telling me to try these guys for awhile now. They used to only have a truck that went around Manhattan, but they've got two storefronts now in the East and West Village, so if you find yourself infront of one - definitely give it a try. (They also have locations in Los Angeles and Philadelphia.)
I know it's gross and unhygienic, but I always wish I could re-dip my cone after I eat all of the dipped chocolate part off. If I ever make a lot of money, I'll buy my own damn at-home dipper and re-dip until I'm dead. God, that'll be the best.
To see a list of their fun flavours, go on over here.
I feel like I'm always telling you what to do with butter. And I guess I will continue to do so.
