The whiskey and taco stand piloted by Paul Kahan(Blackbird, Publican) opens today in the spot historically occupied by the Pontiac Grill.

“A good example of this neglect is the denialism surrounding the bisexuality of one of the greatest modern black liberation heroes: Malcolm X. The lack of recognition is perhaps not surprising, given that some of his family and many black activists have made strenuous efforts to deny his same-sex relationships and suppress recognition of the full spectrum of his sexuality.”

NYTimes: Rent the Runway Offers Designer Dresses in the Netflix Model

NYTimes: Rent the Runway Offers Designer Dresses in the Netflix Model:

Really smart idea. Jacqui says there have existed services like this for expensive bags for a while. I Imagine that this business is constrained by having to keep in stock a multitude of sizes (and many of the same size) in addition to several colors, et cetera.

One cool idea would be to sell off the dresses at the end of the season for discounted prices to make even more money (rental rates will undoubtedly fall off as the dresses fall out of popular fashion).
