NYC Salon Deal of The Day: Get Your Brigitte Bardot on at Pimps and Pinups

In the distance of gentrified Stanton Street, amongst the bodegas, vintage clothing stores and emerging high-end boutiques that make up the flavor of what is the new hip and fashionable Lower East Side, I spot what I believe to be a nightclub in the distance. The walls are black; the space is illuminated with ambient dressing room lights and a neon green sign in old Hollywood script. Behold, this was no nightclub. It was my new hair salon, Pimps and Pinups; the name alone had me hooked...

Deals: InnerRewards has partnered with Pimps and Pinups to offer you the best deals on the web.

$100 Gift Certificate for only $50
20% Off Haircut
20% Off Updo

Alexander Koutny Makes Victoria's Secret Models Even More Other-Worldly Hot

Had to give a shout out to my dear friend and old roomie Alex. He used to be my housemate in a small suburb of Cape Town. That was back in the day when we were producing nightclubs together. Since then, he's hit the big time designing costumes for Victoria's Secret models. I remember when he was cutting patterns out of his basement between between shifts at the bar and tormenting his crazy cat Frank. Now he's creating works of art for the hottest bods on the planet. Kudos Al. You've arrived. Now hows about designing one of your infamous flying-centipede-inspired bikinis for my upcoming Miami jaunt?

The Prada Pre-Sale is ON.

A little bird told me that Prada has already started to pre-sell fall '09 merchandise. Ready-to-wear is discounted 50% and shoes and bags are marked down 30%. Both Madison Avenue and Soho stores are participating. But you didn't hear that from me. If you phone a Prada employee, they will tell you "they're still waiting to hear from corporate."
