Dreamland Beach Bali

post from Bali Blog on 14 February 2007 10:03:00 PM. © Bali Blog

Dreamland is a white elephant, donated to the people of Bali by Tomy Suharto. Actually it wasn’t really donated, it was grabbed, mangled, then taken back. Riding along Jl. Uluwatu on the Bukit, one passes a grand looking entrance complete with statute. A long 4 lane road takes you down towards the coast, passing construction [...]

Cafe Moka on Jl. Seminyak is one place that draws tourists and expats alike. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, Cafe Moka knocks out some decent food and is a handy place to stop off for a snack. This morning I took Devin for breakfast, the 3 minute trip a breeze on my bike. We both [...]

Dennis Darzacq's photographs defy gravity. We can't tell if it's the work of Photoshop or break dancers or suicide but we like it quite a bit. Eh, Digg tells us it's dancers.

post from TravelPost.com Insider on 14 February 2007 06:01:00 PM. © TravelPost.com Insider

Now you’d think if there were one thing the Hilton sister could do, it would be to launch a hotel. But apparently, Nicky Hilton’s Nicky O project is going up in flames. The developer that bankrolled much of the project is suing Hilton for breach of contract and alleging that the heiress failed to promote [...]

Gridskipper Citysong Contest XVIII

post from Gridskipper on 14 February 2007 05:54:30 PM. © Gridskipper

Mazel to Natasha Tripney who correctly guessed that last week's contest referred to "Streets of Philadelphia" that melancholic Springsteen song used to great effect in the movie Philadelphia. If Natasha sends us her address, she'll get a brand new laser disc of the film! Woohoo. Laserdisc. This week's entry into the hallowed contest isn't that much more difficult. Send your guesses as to which song/lyric/band/album the above photo refers to tips@gridskipper.com and the 5th correct answer gets something as equally awesome as a laser disc. And that's pretty awesome.

Previous Citysong Contests: Streets of Philadelphia, 53rd and 3rd Street, Seer's Tower, Feeling Groovy, San Francisco, Guns Of Brixton, Night Falls on Hoboken, Avenue D, Fujiyama Mama, Barcelona, All I Wanna Do

Pimp My Fridge: Is This Really What's Going On

pimp%20copy.jpg Ah, hotel industrial complex, how you find new ways to debase yourself daily. The latest step in unnecessary hotel packages is the South Beach's Catalina Hotel's "Pimp My Fridge" promotion. Basically, you pay $50 to get a mini-fridge stocked with ingredients costing a fraction of that that correspond to a couple of archetypes cooked up by couple PR types.

Full ridiculousness after the jump.

Here's the press release which really reaches new highs (or lows, depending on how your weltenschauung

So you've finally managed to convince that hottie to come back to the hotel room for a nightcap. Now what? Whip out the pretzels and those little bottles of booze that you used to steal from the flight attendant cart when you were 15?

What you need is a mini bar that truly reflects the wild and crazy, yet solid and sensitive, deep, but fun, serious but lighthearted, and otherwise deeply complex and highly desirable person you are. What you need is the Catalina Hotel to Pimp Your Fridge.

Guests at the Catalina Hotel & Beach Club, the chic address for affordable luxury in Miami's sizzling South Beach, can now pick from themed mini bar options for every imaginable need: The Get it On mini bar, the Rock Star mini bar, the Sweet Tooth mini bar, the Nostalgia mini bar, the Munchie Mania mini bar, the Schizo mini bar each and additional options starting at $50 and up for each.

Looking for love - or something that might pass for it? Try the Get it On mini bar package, complete with edible body paint, champagne, whipped cream, maraschino cherries, strawberries, scented candles and oil and of course, a Barry White CD.

The Rock Star mini bar comes stocked with the requisite vodka, cigarettes, Krispy Cremes and Red Bull. And for the repentance part of that picture, there's Visine, Alka Seltzer Morning After, a chilled eye mask, and of course, Gatorade.

The Sweet Tooth mini bar package will keep you floating in fudgy, chewy, crunchy, chocolaty fantasy; while the Nostalgia mini bar extravaganza will help you recapture your lost innocence - or at least your lost youth - with such treats as Ritz crackers and spray cheese, fruit roll-ups and candy cigarettes.

So you say you can't be pigeonholed? The Munchie Mania mini bar fulfills your sweet and salty sides with snacks from Cheetos to cheesecake and the Schizo mini bar package is all about indulging and then cleansing, offering a balance of fruit, and decadence, with a yin of green tea and a yang of Red Bull.

Hmm, a yang of Red Bull? That's worth $50 right there.
