In no particular order, here’s some people I know that should be famous. I don’t have time for links, so “Google” them up!
Donkey Party at Fountain Art Fair, originally uploaded by nichellest.
I missed last week’s post. I am a busy procrastinator.
Erin and Her Cello played at Rockwood Music Hall on Monday. Tom Zoellner read from his new book, “Uranium:War, Energy, and the Rock That Shaped the World” on Thursday at McNally Jackson.
Saturday, I had delicious spinach pizza at Toby’s Public House.
Today, I went to the Fountain Art Fair at Pier 66 and saw this cool installation, The Donkey Party” by Gregory Habenry. Pictured above are cupcakes from Greg’s installation. My new client, Glowlab, a cool art gallery in Soho, had some of their artists’ work at Fountain as well.

The reason I do “the week in links” is because I barely remember what happened yesterday let alone a week ago.
Tuesday: Drinks with Mixing Bowl editor Heather and Ripple 6’s Katie.
Wednesday: Bookkeeping presentation at New Work City.
Thursday: Pre-Mardi Gras Cupcake Meetup at Jimmys No 43.
Friday: sniffling, sneezing, and got the bridesmaid’s sandals delivered from Macys.
Saturday: sniffling, coughing but also joined Weight Watcher’s Online (for my sister’s wedding).
Sunday: blowing my nose, sniffling, and watched the Oscars at Comix.
Best compliment I got this week: A nice young lady at the cupcake meetup asked me if the pink shirt I wore was American Apparel. I told her I am too fat for American Apparel, but thanks!
Last week was Social Media Week and the parties were flowing.
I went to the Shorty Awards, met MC Hammer and drank too many fail whales.
Friday I went to the New York screening of Nerdcore Rising at the 92nd Y Tribeca which was directed and produced by the wonderful Negin Farsad. She is definitely on my list of “people I know who should be famous”.
Saturday was Valentine’s Day, and the guy and I went to see Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings at the Nokia Theatre. It was a great show!
Kelly Ripa & Electrolux, originally uploaded by Stacie Joy for CTTC.
Yesterday, I attended a fun Electrolux press event. Kelly Ripa, the Electrolux spokeswoman, introduced their Valentine’s Day promotion where you can send a virtual cupcake to your sweetheart and Electrolux will donate $1 to ovarian cancer research. There are also auctioning off a Red Hot washer/dryer on Ebay.
The bidding on the “Red Hot Red” kitchen – which includes a built-in range, dishwasher, refrigerator and microwave – starts Wednesday, February 11th at 3 p.m. EST and lasts until 3 p.m. EST on Wednesday, February 18th. All proceeds of the charity auction benefit the OCRF as part of Electrolux’s commitment to help this worthy cause.
It’s Monday the 9th, so I am late with this blog post.
Yesterday, I visited the brand new Museum of Art and Design at 2 Columbus Circle. There’s some cool work there. The Artist studio on the 6th floor had Harlem artist Charles McGill working on a golf bag. He decoupages golf bags with African American images and quotes that he finds through Google searches on the internet. The result is iconic patterns created by repetition of .jpgs.
Netflixed: Breakfast on Pluto
Queercents Interviews: Robin Cloud and Daryn DeZengotita
New York Tech Meetup: I’m on the Community Committee
Fundraiser: First Lady Fundraiser on February 12 at 7-10PM, $10. It’s a fundraiser for Girls for Gender Equity, RightRides, and SAFER.

We can stop saying “President-Elect Obama” now because Barack is in the White House. Yay!

Martha Stewart Show, originally uploaded by CupcakeStacie.
January is moving too fast for my liking. We’re already mid-month, and next week is MLK Day and the Inauguration. Check my bit.ly for some of the links I twittered this week.
Mashable party then Mashable overflow at Carriage House where Arc90 sponsored a round of drinks.
Martha Stewart taping where Butter Lane and Sweet Revenge’s cupcakes were featured. Then I went to Ritz Carlton’s Carnival of Chocolate event. Alex from Blondie and Brownie and Danielle from Yaybia joined us as well.

The word this week is “microcelebrity”. This word is over! That kind of “fame” is relative to the number of people who know you and talk about you when you are not there. It is not even real fame or even “long tail” fame. It is chatter that is fleeting. Get over yourself.
During this week, I did some stuff.
