What’s in my Pocket Friday

The Best of the web

I save things in my pocket all week long and look forward to sharing the highlights with you every Friday!

Pocket enables users to save something they find online for later. I find it especially handy as a Google Chrome extension — I only have to click a button to immediately save something to my pocket. Once something is saved, the content is visible on any device — phone, tablet, computer, and even offline.

  • Ready to feel old? Here are 15 common expressions young people will not understand.
  • A great article in USA Today about PR Pros.
  • Christian Siriano is going to design a line for plus size retailer Lane Bryant. That is pretty cool.
  • This rendition of Sia’s “Chandelier” by Elon University’s A Capella group, Twisted Measure, is breathtaking.

  • If you have any curiosity about 3D printing – hell, even if you don’t – you have to see the impact it’s making on lives like this. I am so proud of my friends and Matter Hackers for being a part of this.

  • Captain America and his brother, Scott, attempted a duet. It is undeniably adorable and all too brief. They’re pretty ridiculous and while I’m at it, you need to see their joint interview on Fallon.

Earlier this week…

  • Anne and I tried the new menu at CPK.
  • I gushed about my bestie, Diane Keaton.
  • I pinned THIS.

  • Jimmy Fallon and Jack Black recreated Extreme’s epic “More Than Words” video. See below or click here for the side-by-side comparison. SO GOOD.

  • In Nebraska, a woman filed a class action lawsuit against all of the gay people. No, really. (A judge threw it out.)
  • These chocolate covered strawberries look ridiculous.
  • Fox Home Entertainment announced a release date for the “Rogue Cut” version of X-Men: Days of Future Past. I AM SO EXCITED. Fun fact: It comes out on July 14, which is the 15th anniversary of the very first Singer-directed X-Men movie.

  • This video of a great dane puppy talking in his sleep is precious

  • My trip to New York was really a trip to New Jersey because once I stepped into my best friend’s home there, I felt warm, cozy and loved and hardly wanted to leave. However I’m afraid this means most of my vacation photos are of her dogs.

Best of the Web - Pocket Fridays

  • When I did go into the city, I saw an absolutely magnificent Broadway musical called Fun Home. I won’t tell you what it’s about. It’s layered and complicated and beautiful and amazing. The talent in it is beyond amazing.

Best of the Web - Pocket Fridays

  • Apparently people still care about Grey’s Anatomy. I stopped watching when Izzy started hallucinating. But I think everyone who posted spoilers on Facebook in real time last night stinks. Not nice, people.
  • London knows how to properly celebrate their icons. Look how they paid tribute to Monty Python.
  • This journalist wears the same thing to work every day and I think she’s amazing.
  • Blogger Chris Lam tells us how NOT to get a bikini bod. God bless her.
  • I caught onto this genius Thug Kitchen cookbook commercial. “I love to cook good food but who has the fucking time….”

  • I thought this was great from PR Daily: “Five Pitches That Journalists Don’t Care About“
  • Terrific interview in the NY Times with Netflix CEO Reed Hastings. Have you watched Daredevil? It’s amazing.
  • This video made the rounds — Pandora Jewelry gathered a group of children, aged three to nine, and their mothers to participate in a simple experiment that basically left me in a puddle of warm n’ fuzzy tears.

  • Pink shut down some major haters and body shamers with a positive message.
  • Are you watching the Late Late Show with James Corden? It’s fabulous. And this stunt he pulled with Jennifer Hudson is everything.

  • I really can’t recommend Netflix’s Daredevil enough.
  • Blogger Anne Hogan has been posting recipes from vintage cookbooks that are astounding. Ham and bananas? Ew. And also? I CANNOT LOOK AWAY.
  • Even though I’m not a mom, I really appreciated this post from Fit & Awesome about how work-out clothes make you feel, new mom or otherwise.
  • The error page on Hillary Clinton’s website is the best error page ever published.

  • The newest Netflix Original Series trailer for ‘Grace and Frankie’ looks terrific. Bonus points because two of the stars (Martin Sheen, Lily Tomlin) were on ‘The West Wing’ and two were on HBO’s ‘Newsroom’ (Jane Fonda, Sam Waterston). I love Aaron Sorkin.
  • Speaking of trailers, I really couldn’t get into the first season of ‘True Detective’ but I’ll try again with season two. Especially because I think Vince Vaughn and Colin Farrell will surprise us all and I am pleased to see Rachel McAdams in something more cerebral than her norm.
  • I’ve been very patient and it seems like I may finally get my Golden Girls Lego set after all…

Best of the Web - Lego Golden Girls

  • Here are 23 times Golden Retriever puppies were adorable dweebs.
  • This guy was sick of looking at benign office walls so he purchases 9000 post-it notes and got to work. The results are outstanding.
  • Would you use a “Fanny Basket” while shopping? Don’t know what that is? Click here.
  • Ever seen something so sweet and cute it all but made you CRY?

  • I went to a beautiful wedding on Wednesday (Yes! On a weekday!) and loved playing dress-up with friends, seeing two people I adore get their happily ever after, and meeting loads of wonderful, new people. It’s often easy to bitch and moan about weddings but this was a really joyous occasion. Even though it happened mid-week, it seems like a nice way to close out this post and head off into the weekend.

Best of the Web - Wedding celebration!

  • The apocalypse is HILARIOUS! I have been helping a friend with his movie’s trailer premiere. It is amazing how funny a simple teaser can be in less than 90 seconds in the hands of good filmmakers. Take a look at the coverage over at “The Mary Sue” or just have a look here:

  • I had a fun night out in Hollywood Wednesday when I went with a friend to see one of my all-time favorite movies, ‘Newsies,’ at the El Capitan Theatre WITH THE ORIGINAL CAST. As luck would have it, they were sitting in the row right in front of us, which was delightful. Afterward, the national touring company of the musical came out and surprised the theater by performing two numbers from the show. It was an incredible event.

  • It was a good night for people watching, too. Jesus was sitting out on the street playing Red Hot Chili Peppers covers and I spotted Tinkerbell chatting up a taxi. (Frankly, I think she should fly but whatever. Her life.)

  • I was also doing some light window shopping. I was impressed how well Disney created the stepmother doll in Cate Blanchett’s likeness and how they utterly failed representing Helena Bonham Carter.

  • “15 Things Ambitious Girls Do a Little Bit Differently When They’re Dating” from Thought Catalog. It is SPOT. ON.
  • “Four Things to Consider Before You Get a PR Team” – so simple and well said from Entrepreneur.
  • A terrific new Tumblr called “Not Getting the Job” that is essentially job applicant FAILS. I laugh at every single one. How sad that so many are familiar to me….
  • Yesterday, I had three pretty rowdy co-workers. Kona, Cody and Lucy. They don’t get a lot done around the office but I believe they really contribute to the flow of creativity!

  • I feel fairly certain that many people I know should own this sweatshirt.

  • Celebrity Chef Paula Deen has apparently decided she too needs an app. Here is a trailer for her new game, “Recipe Quest.” It may be the craziest thing ever. SHE HAS CRAZY EYES, guys.

  • I thought this article, “20 Actions You Can Take to Look Like a Pro Blogger” by Regina was pretty terrific.
  • This is a really great little gadget, isn’t it? Check out the WonderCube.
  • Apparently these are the seven worst cocktails, according to a bartender. Whatever, dude. I love a mimosa with brunch.
  • I’m oddly obsessed with this movie trailer for ‘The Age of Adaline’ starring Blake Lively, whom I’ve really been ambivalent about until now.

  • I’m giving out some PR tips in person on April 14 in Century City. You can get a $20 early bird ticket til March 31 here.

EARLIER THIS WEEK

  • I finally saw ‘Kingsman: The Secret Service” and I loved it! If you haven’t seen it yet and love a fun, violent, witty action flick, go see it. Ass-kicking Colin Firth is amazing.
  • I covered the PaleyFest panels for ‘Arrow’ and ‘The Flash’ and had a blast! Have a look at my piece on Forces of Geek.
  • Stay tuned for more contributed content from me — Bold Italic just accepted another column from me. Hooray!

  • I’ve decided to pay more attention to my Tumblr, which I’ve let fall behind.
