In A World of Plastic

Assist a story on plastic for Opening Ceremony. Heart's out to Tiffany and Jessi of the cacophanic Dark Sisters for asserting nonchalant cool in every shot, as well as making sure our asses got laughed off by the end of the day. Beautiful photography by James Parker and styling/concept by Shannan Elinor Smith. The rest of the story is here.

Opening Ceremony: Burlesque Meets Hot Dog in America's Heartland

O'Betty's Bob Satmary and I in front of the hot dog museum

Click here to check out my recent post for the Opening Ceremony blog. I recently visited my favorite restaurant in Athens, O'Betty's, to try out the "Duncan-Go-Nuts" hot dog, a secret item that was a front page feature on Ohio University's The Post the day of my visit.

The "Duncan-Go-Nuts," a slab of peanut butter and veggie chili (yup, you heard correctly), is the perfect example of harmonizing sweet and salty. I had this topped on a veggie - or as O'Betty's calls it, "shy" - dog deep friend and snug fit in a toasted bun.

I'm salivating as I type this.
