The annual Victoria’s Secret holiday runway show aired on CBS last night, featuring the latest advance in Bra and Panty technology presented by every hot model from Gisele to Adriana Lima. Heidi Klum didn’t walk the runway this year cuz she just gave birth to a new baby a couple weeks ago.  Justin Timberlake gave a special performance, which makes the show worth watching for even women! You can watch video highlights from the show or study up on all the model’s stats online. Enjoy!

The holiday is approaching and I know you are all pulling your hair out trying to figure out what to get me, lol. Here’s a list of my recommendations for you to give me or that special person that has made your year a little bit brighter this year…

10. Talladega Nights DVD

What more do I need to say? Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby is an instant classic! Will Ferrell is the man! This is his best work yet, playing NASCAR stock car racing sensation Ricky Bobby, along with his loyal racing partner, childhood friend Cal Naughton Jr. (played by John C. Reilly). They are a fearless duo known as Shake ‘N Bake. (this has inspired many real life drunken-secret-handshakes amongst my friends and I at many clubs in New York lol)

Anyway, the DVD comes out on Dec 12, and you can buy it online at Amazon.com for $16.98

9. Canon PowerShot SD 40 (or SD 30) Digital Camera

Canon makes some of the best optics in consumer market pocket digital cameras. We switched to all Canon-based photo operations for our nightclub and events production company ClimaxVIP. I’ve been carrying around the super compact fashion model SD 20 for the last year and it’s amazing! The newest model in that line is the SD 40, with 7.1 Megapixel screen and a 2.4 Optical Zoom. A slightly older model is the SD 30, with pretty much the same specs except it’s a 5 Megapixel camera.

You can find the Canon SD 40 at PCNation.com for $312, and you can find the Canon SD 30 at PCNation.com for $249.90

8. Esteban Master Guitar Class with Black Cutaway Guitar

You all know I’m a sucker for late nigth informercials. I was gonna put The Magic Bullet food processor on my list orginally, lol but then I saw this…

Esteban is master of the guitar, considered a guitar “virtuoso” by some. And just like how George Foreman started selling his grills, Esteban started selling a series of DVDs that teaches you how to play a guitar. Included in this package is an Amp and a Steel String Accoustic/Electic All Wood Cutaway Guitar (it comes in Black or Tan, of course the Black looks hotter! Besides I already have a tan one autographed by Fallout Boy. I can’t really play on that one since I’d be smudging the signatures lol.)

The whole package is available online for $199.80 plus shipping, or 4 easy payments of $49.95 by calling 800-337-1445.

7. TUMI Signature Messenger in Caviar

TUMI is a world famous brand when it comes to luggage and travel bags for men and women. The Signature line is especially distinctive for it’s logo prints and attention to detail. This messenger bag comes in Caviar (black logo on black canvas), Eclipse (grey logo on black canvas), or Pantina (gold logo on tan canvas). The black on black looks the hottest, don’t you think? Some might say it’s too Metro-Sexual, I say a HOT bag is a HOT bag!

You can find the TUMI Signature Messenger on TUMI’s official website for $325

6. Nokia E70 Smart Phone

When shopping for a cellphone, I often find myself frustrate with having to choose between size/design and functionality. There are just so many hot looking phones out there, but they really don’t do everything I want it to do. And I’m not talking about surfing the web or watching movies on my phone, all I really want is to be able to text and email efficiently, which means I NEED A KEYBOARD!!

Nokia E70 is built with the business consumer in mind. It functions as a regular candy bar style phone, but it has an innovative keyboard that folds out. Over all it’s bulkier than most candy bar or folding phones out there, but Nokia really packed in A LOT of features, including some I might actually use like playing music, and running it as a VoIP phone over WiFi…

The phone is available online at Mobilebee for $374.99 by itself, or $234.99 with a 1 year contract with T-Mobile.

5. Marc by Marc Jacobs Textured Cotton Blazer

Marc by Marc Jacobs is a hot line! I’ve always been a fan of Marc Jacobs. We sat two seats over from him at fourth row at Mariah Carey’s concert at Madison Square Garden a few months ago. His menswear is classy, clean, yet edgy. He has a full line of Blazers, Hoodies, and Jackets out right now, and they are all so perfect for guys to wear on a night out on the town.

You can find the full line of Marc by Marc Jacobs jackets on Saks Fifth Avenue’s official website, with the Textured Cotton Blazer going for $358

4. Nintendo Wii (or Xbox 360 Platinum as backup)

You’ve all heard me raving about the Wii a few weeks earlier. It is simply the most innovative gaming console that came out this year. Actually it is probably the most innovative gaming system ever!! Although the awesome folks at Nintendo have sent me a unit already, my Games/Music Editor Josh and me have been fighting over it ever since lol. Since it technically belongs to my company Kiwibox, it kinda had to stay at at the office. I’ve been trying to buy one for myself for the last two weeks, but out of over 1 million units already sold, none has seem to reached any store I shop at! The only place in New York that has daily stock is the Nintendo World store at Rockefeller Center, and they only get very limited shipment each day so I’d had to wait in line like at 6 in the morning… lol and you ALL know that I don’t do lines… haha

So the backup plan is if I can’t get a Wii, I’d really want to have a Xbox 360 Platinum edition (with the hard drive and wireless controller). At least that you can get at pretty much every store.

The Nintendo Wii retails for $249 at most stores (if you are lucky enough to find one). The Xbox 360 Platinum edition retails for $399 at most stores.

3. Nabaztag WiFi Smart Rabbit

Now that the countdown for my holidday gift guide is down to the top 3, things are getting really exciting!! You are probably looking at this picture and saying “what the F is this thing?!” Nabaztag is Armenian for “Rabbit” (don’t feel bad, I don’t really know where Armenia is either…) This little thing sits on your desk and hooks into your Wi-Fi network and dishes up your info with entertaining lights, sounds, and the ears swivel!! It can performing tai chi, read your news, e-mail, RSS feeds, giving traffic and weather updates, playing music and Nabcasts, delivering an opinion on how your week has gone, even give you advice on what to do with your stock portfolio based on market data!!

The 2nd generation Nabaztag is nicknamed Tag, and it will be available on Dec 8th. In addition, it will have a built-in microphone so it can Listen and even Smell (I have no idea how it does that, but I want it!!) It will respond to your commands and send messages to your friends.

You can get preorder information on the 2nd generation Nabaztag rabbit on the official site, or order the original version on ThinkGeek for $149 now.

2. iPod Nano Red 8GB (or iPod Shuffle 1 GB just as Hot)

Apple’s 2nd Generation iPod Nano‘s are the bomb! They now have picture capability, and they are made with scratch-resistant aluminum cases, which alleviates one of the biggest complaints of the original Nano – how easy they get scratched up, espeically the black ones (and guess which one I have? lol)

Like the Mini, the new Nano’s come in a variety of bright colors from green to pink. Most versions are 4 GB, and the black one has an 8 GB option. And the latest is Apple’s (PRODUCT)RED version, which donates $10 from the proceeds to Global Fund to fight AIDS in Africa. Amazing product and even more amazing cause!

Also the new 2nd generation iPod Shuffle is HOT!! It’s 1 GB and it is TINY!! It comes with a built in clip and is perfect for use when you are in the gym.

The iPod Nano Red 8GB can be found at Apple’s online store for $249 with free shipping, and the iPod Shuffle can be found at Apple’s online store for $79 with free shipping.

1. Elini Jumbo Full Diamond Watch (or Elini Dove White Top Diamond Watch)

Oh come on! You know I have to list this!! lol.. So Mom?? How about it? hahaI was going to list a Landrover as my #1 pick this year, but I thought I’ll go for something more practical… lol Elini is really a very under-appreicated brand. I mean sure if you are a wannabe rapper, you might as well spend a few thousand more to get a basic model Jacobs & Co. watch, or if you really really know about watches, you’d drop $10G on a Breitling or Rolex.But if you have only say $2,000 – $5,000 to spend, and you need it to match your bling’ed out grillz, then this is probably one of the best Diamond encrusted watch makers out there. I’ve had a couple other brand diamond watches and the quality of the diamond and the timepiece of Elini is simply the best for this price range.

You can find authorized dealers for Elini on its official website (meeting face to face with an old guy in 3 piece suits is the right way to buy an expensice watch), or you can check out the online listing from one of its dealers About Time. The Jumbo Full Diamond goes for $5999.00, and the Dove White Top Diamond goes for $3999.00. Of course, never pay full retail price on a luxury watch, you can probably talk the dealer down at least $1000 – $2000 on these watches.

And I will love you forever, whoever gives me this for Christmas… lol

So I guess this is how an Angel keeps warm…

PopDish Exclusive! You heard it here first! My good friends Rachel and Britney just spotted Victoria’s Secret supermodel Adriana Lima shopping at the GEOX flagship store on Madison Avenue in New York. For those of you who lived under a rock for the last 10 years, Adriana Lima is the amazing Brazilian model who became one of the top models in the world at the age of 15! She’s most famous for her work in the GUESS campaign of 2000, and of course, as one of Victoria’s Secret’s “Angel“s.

GEOX is an Italian fashion brand most famous for its shoes. They are the “shoes that breath”. Very hip and popular, even the Pope was seen wearing GEOX! There was a huge article in the Wall Street Journal about that back in April! I wear GEOX a lot when I go clubbing, I love these shoes!

About 15 minutes ago Adriana was spotted in the GEOX store shopping with a girlfriend (one of the black models for Cover Girl apparently). She was very nice according to my friends. She bought a $300 jacket with the fur hood (see picture above), except it was red, not white. She paid with her American Express Platinum, hmm, wouldn’t you think she has The Black Card from American Express already?? Maybe she should demand a better contract from Victoria’s Secret lol!

The Victoria’s Secret annual runway show was taped in LA a couple weeks ago, and it is airing on Tuesday December 5th on CBS. Mmmm… Can’t wait!

Thank God Britney Spears kept her coochie covered over for the last couple of days, I was getting sick of blogging about that… Now I can talk about things that I REALLY care about – me! lol! Well not exactly, but I did get some HOT new shoes!

These shoes are from A Bathing Ape. I actually got them at their NY flagship store in SOHO the week before Thanksgiving. Aren’t they HOT?? They are like $200 (not too bad compare to their hoodies and jackets which starts from $400 – $500 at least), leather and the gold part looks shiny and snake-skin-ish under the light. These are actually the most conservative looking pair they’ve got. All their other shoes are crazy colorful, looks like Nike Air Force 1′s but much hotter! I just don’t know if I could pull it off wearing those.

A Bathing Ape, a.k.a. BAPE is a Japanese urban/streetwear company. It was started in 1993 by DJ Nigo. It has developed such a cult following, it has spun off record label, hair salon, café, and toy line. In Japan and the rest of Asia, BAPE is the gold standard. In Hong Kong, a genuine BAPE T-shirt could fetch as much as $1,000!!

The reason being everything BAPE makes is limited edition only. And to the faithful, wearing BAPE gear represent membership in the BAPE culture and ideal. It’s just catching on in the U.S. mainstream, because celebrities like Pharrell Williams, Jay-Z, Fall Out Boy, Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy, Mandy Moore, Good Charlotte, and pretty much the rest of the Hip-Hop and wannabe Hip-Hop community is embracing it like wildfire.

Good thing the only real BAPE store is in New York, the rest of you suckers can just order all the knock-offs and counterfeit BAPE clothing on the internet! lol

And here’s the lovely Amy and Rachel with their new BAPE hoodie, HOTT!!

Every week on Tuesday I try to talk about some new music or music related topics, since Tuesday is traditionally when all the record label release new records. One of BMG’s Vice Presidents actually has told me the reason they do it on Tuesdays is everyone tried to do it on Mondays before, but nobody in the music business can get their act together to get everything ready to go by Monday. lol a little interesting but useless tidbit…

Snoop Dogg is putting out a new album “The Blue Carpet Treatment“. It’s his 8th album actually. We hosted one of his album release parties in New York at the club Stereo. Lil Jon was there, so did The Game and a bunch other rappers and Hip Hop artists and all their entourages that all looks the same lol.

Anyway, on the new album there’s a song with R Kelly called “That’s That“, it’s hot! Has anyone seen the music video? And more importantly, has anyone seen HOODIE he’s wearing in the music video for “That’s That” with R Kelly?? It is SOOO HOT!! It looks like a Steelers hoodie, but it looks like it says the letters A C T next to the Steelers stars logo (anybody knows what clothing label is that? I have no idea). And the hood itself is embroidered with these tattoo looking designs, it’s sooo hot! I MUST HAVE IT!! AHHH!! Where can I buy it? Watch the video on YouTube and help me find this hoodie!!

It’s always tough to come up with something original for Halloween. I’ve been Batman, Ernie (of Burt and Ernie), a bottle of Corona, Pimp, Mafia Gansta, Pirate… This year we took it up another notch. Here’s my Halloween recap – on Saturday me and my limbs (these 3 girls who are my closest friends that I can’t live without like my arms and legs) decided to all dress up as Wizard of Oz characters. The girls decided on slutty (I mean sexy) versions of the Tin man, Lion, and Scarecrow, so I’m left to dress as Dorothy. lol with a little makeup and some faux lashes, I have to say I don’t look that bad as a girl haha. Then on Tuesday the actual Halloween night, I dressed up as Flavor Flav, except the chain on the clock broke half way through the night and the Gold and Diamond grillz won’t stay in place, lol, you can see some of the pictures in the Popdish Gallery I just set up…

Anyway, then my friend brought me a page that she ripped out of the US Weekly Nov 2005, and there’s a picture of Jason Biggs dressed up as Dorothy!! hahaha oh boy, then I remembered seeing him at Justin Timberlake’s Halloween party last year at Marquee. I mean I totally didn’t know it was him cuz it was dark and he had a skirt on!! haha. Now all of a sudden my costume seems like a rip-off of his idea last year. I mean we even have the same basket with the same stuffed Toto! No matter, I think I still look a little hotter as a girl than him, take that Mr. American Pie!! hmm… wait, maybe that’s not a good thing… lol

Macy’s is probably the most famous department store in America. The flagship store in Herald Square is only a few blocks away from my apartment, and I’ve been to Macy’s maybe ummm… 3 times total! lol so needless to say, when I went there on Saturday there was a lot of discoveries and adventures. The most impressive part is the 4th floor if you enter from the 6th Ave side – it’s a mecca of trendy hip vintage looking shirts and dresses and jeans, from punk rock to paris hilton, with DJ pumping hot club tracks over the speakers! It’s amazing. Oh and shoes! Hot stillettos, fake Manolo boots straight from Steve Madden (like Jay-Z said), lol but they look great! At this point I’m already so impressed I’m saying to myself “Why go to Stereo or Marquee, I could be throwing parties at Macy’s 4th floor!” lol, and then, around the corner, I discovered something that’s 10 times more exciting! FOOOOD!! There’s a Ben and Jerry’s, Auntie Anne’s Pretzel, and Jimmy’s Pizza Kitchen, right next to racks of rhinestone studded jeans and cute Juicy tracksuits! Mmmm, yummm! I couldn’t resist, so I had to have some ice cream right then and there, and make the 4th floor of Macy’s part of my Hot List this week.

Project Runway season 3 comes to an end and the winner is… Jeffrey! The eccentric-foul-mouthed-punk-rock-misfit that almost got kicked off the show many many times. There’s always some contraversy with him, being accused of cheating and outsourcing his sewing, going over the budget, fighting with the pregnant woman on the show… But when it comes down to it, his final collect kicks ass!! It’s inspired by Japanese demon and ghost stories, and look how stunning one of the dress is! His main model throughout the whole show Marilinda is just the best ever! Partly because she’s gorgeous on and off the runway, and partly because SHE WAS MY OLD DOOR-GIRL AT MY CLUBS!!! haha! She’s awesome, really funny, a little bit punky, always jokingly giving me a hard time with all the girls I’m bringing into the clubs. Earlier in the season she would text me and everyone to watch her on the show every week. I’m sooo happy for her that they won! Woohoo!

Yea I don’t know what makes some girls think it’s ok to wear certain things to the clubs in the city. I mean I’ve seen flip flops, oversize white t-shirts… Pleeeease, take it to a bar, don’t show up to any of the high end clubs like that. The latest this week is the White Shorts – ok ladies, White is SOOO OUT after Labor Day anyway, every once in a while you might be able to get away with wearing a cute pair of shorts with some hot outfit in a club, but white shorts in a high end club in new york city after labor day is just tacky. Please stop, you are embarrassing yourselves, and more importantly, if you do it at my clubs, you are embarrassing me… lol lol, ok ok maybe it’s not THAT BAD, but it’s definitely worth putting it on my list this week. Oh yea, I hope you like the picture choice… lol I didn’t have a camera to take a picture of this girl I saw at my club, so I have to use this picture of some model girl in a field of flowers above haha.

Now on to the HOT LIST for this week…

You know I was going to mention it, since I made such a big deal out of the whole me vs. John Mayer running online thing. Nike+ Air Zoom Moire is my Hot-Ness shoes of week. I know I know, the Nike plus iPod thing has been out for like more than a month already. I just got these shoes on like tuesday and I have to say they are the lightest and most comfortable running shoes I’ve ever tried on! The standard ones at Niketown on 57th and 5th ave come in grey and gold for men, and light grey and red for women. But I’m not stopping there. I love them so much that I want another pair. I went on NikeID.com to design my own pair. There are like a hundred pair of shoes you can customize online, but the Nike+ Air Zoom Moire are the only running shoes that’s Nike Plus iPod compatible. I wanted something I can wear running and also wear out to clubs (when i want to go for the downtown hipster look with my hoody under my blazer haha, I’m so 3 years ago and not cool anymore) So I narrowed it down to 3 choices, YOU HAVE TO HELP ME PICK!! Let me know which one you think I should get… (oh yea, by the way I’m customizing them so they’ll say “Shake N Bake” on them, as in Will Farrow’s new movie Talladega Nights). So let me know if you like pair #1 (white with silver trim and red bottom),

2 (white with red trim and white bottom)

or 3 (black with white trim and red bottom)
