if you're okay with being associated with the popped-collar, fake-and-baking, polo-wearing and fake-breasted crowd, then, yes, go ahead and order that redbull and vodka. or, hell, revisit twenty-oh-five and go for a jagerbomb. 

however, if you're looking for a classier, more sophisticated alternative that will leave you just as wired but looking like less of a king douche, wrap your hands around an espresso martini.

to concoct, simply add two ounces cold espresso, one and a half ounces kettle one vodka and half an ounce of butterscotch schnapps to a shaker filled with ice. shake it like you're gonna break it and strain into a chilled martini glass. garnish with a few coffee beans if you're feeling extra fancy.

so you trolled facebook last weekend hoping to vicariously live through your friends who's credit card bills and student loans didn't keep them from being in attendance at coachella? well, don't have the same lame, depressing experience with the next latest and greatest music festival...

you see, urban outfitters, southwest airlines and bonnaroo have teamed up and now are presenting the chance to win a four-night long, vip experience at one of the most famed musical festivals of our time. the lucky winner and their friends will get hooked up with airfare provided by southwest, accommodations and tickets provided by bonnaroo and fresh new gear provided by urban.

and with a line up featuring jay-z, the dead weather, the black keys, she & him, the xx and kid cudi, how could you possibly not take up the chance to experience an orgasm in your ear?

you know how i know that you're at least a little bit gay? watching a show choir perform has the tendency to make your nipples hard...

unless you've been completely living under a rock or have cut television, the internet and pretty much all human contact out of your life for the past year, you've seen the phenomenon that is glee. while obviously glee on it's own is newsworthy, that's not the point of this post. 

hold on to your spanx, because this week glee is doing a madonna tribute. featuring classics such as like a virgin, like a prayer and vogue, the episode is sure to be tops. madge herself even called it "brilliant on every level."

catch glee tomorrow night at nine o'clock (pacific). cone-shaped bras and/or eighties attire optional but highly encouraged.

the sleek design. the seamless ease of use. the intuitively designed user interface. the boho chic meets techy geek lifestyle that's associated with these coveted products. with all these positive attributes, it's no surprise that once you go mac, you never go back.

show off your brazen fanboyhood with this F1 and F2 lamp shade that pays homage to those adorably designed buttons that tell you "oh this? it makes your screen dimmer." and "this little thing? well, this makes your screen brighter."

leather, silk, feathers and fur. while many materials in fashion can look totally fierce, they really are quite cruel to our four-legged friends and mother earth. elory, a clothing line that calls canada home, believes that doesn't need to always be the case.

elroy uses organic cotton, cloth made from bamboo (which is biodegradable and antibacterial), tencel (also biodegradable and antibacterial, as well as absorbent and wrinkle-resistant), linen, hemp and raw, wild silk to fashion their garments. and, from basic staples, like solid-colored dresses, to trendy pieces, such as a chambray romper, you can pepper your closet with frocks, tops and bottoms without sacrificing any style. 

you also won't need to sacrifice much bank either, with most dresses, tops and pants under a hundred bones.

spend your green on the greenest of garments at elroy.
