Victoria Beckham is a style icon with Hermes bag collection that would make most women green with envy. It’s also fitting that she would make an appearance on Wednesday promoting her jeans & sunglasses collection right before her other gig that night. For those of you who don’t know, she sometimes sings with this pop group from the UK, ever hear of them? Spice something?

Bostonist will be bringing several fashion writers on board in the next few weeks. And now, meet Jocelyn Celeste!
Chicagoist is gearing up for this weekend's annual Air & Water Show along the lakefront. In what's becoming an annual tradition around there, staff member Todd McClamroch even got to fly with one of the participants. Chicagoist's decidedly opinionated readership was also appalled that one of their staffers found a popular local brewpub to be a great place to bring a kid. They also think that an unlikely activist for immigration rights should just take...
Londonist are starting to think their city is getting just a little bit too expensive, when even Christian Slater can't afford to go out there. And there's no escaping, as local singer Lily Allen discovered when she was barred entry to the US. The British mapping agency caused further bad karma, by blocking a 3-D representation of London in Google Earth. But the smiles returned to Londonist's faces as they interviewed Baroness von Reichardt,...
LAist is experimenting with blogging dates from J-Date, but finds the best men are found offline. Some date vicariously online and that is one reason why porn is big -- really freaking big -- so they ask if they should cover XXX since the heart of it lays in the city's San Fernando Valley. A writer grapples with her food porn photography obsession, another gets censored on Flickr, one gets scooped by the LA...
Spring is when we get busy here in the Ist-A-Verse. Very busy. But, after staying bundled-up indoors all winter, it's nice for us to be out, about, and collecting things to write about for you. Here's a glimpse at what's been keeping your favorite citybloggers busily away from home and out of bed. For LAist, strong winds attacked LA on the same day the Feds raided the Crips. Not to fear, though: the Japanese version...
Breaking the law, breaking the law We -ist folks love us some crime, and no misdemeanor is too petty for a post on any of our sites. This week, join us for a rogues' gallery of miscreants major, minor, and alleged.
Local born photographer and lover of handbags has completed her Longfellow Bridge Project. Following her photography for the last few months has taken a trip around the country recent months – landing back in Boston for a brief time before the recent move to Queens. We're sure she'll bring a fresh lens to the NYC Photoblogging community. Over the last few months she undertook a project of photographing the view from the Longfellow Bridge towards Back Bay and Fenway which now contains 77 photos and a collage at Flickr. As Sara described her project
So for the next couple of months or so my evening commute will involve a walk from Kendall Square over the Longfellow Bridge to Charles/MGH. I plan to take a photo of the skyline each day and post it here.The photos were taken from January to the end of May and show the progression from the winter's short days with lights on and dusk apparent in the sky, to sunsets just setting in as the days grew longer, to the spring rains and lots of gray. This shouldn't be the end of innovative Flickr sets – check out her photos and use them as inspiration for your own sets. Perhaps a series capturing all the Madonna statues in Somerville, or a photo of the ticket for just about every concert you've attended.
Time for a moment of news zen: Venezuela's President, Hugo Chavez, yesterday pledged to continue his country's program of providing discounted home heating oil to the poor in Massachusetts. Chavez, you may recall, is the Bush administration's public enemy number one in Latin America because he's, um, leftist. Not a dictator, not in power by undemocratic means, not giving support to terrorists; just leftist.
The MTA, the one of New York City fame, not of Scollay Under and JP-nickel-exit-fare fame, isn’t running today. Gothamist is liveblogging it. Today they’re all strike, strike, "how'd you get to work?", and more strike. The transit strike in 
NYC has stolen the headline spot for all national news outlets. Now NYC seems to be trying to cheat Boston out of our nickname “The Walking City” with Mayor Bloomberg himself walking across to Brooklyn Bridge to work this morning.
REMIX! That seems to be the logical impulse for bands and DJ’s alike, with DJ’s being inspired by indie artists and groups feeding their hunger to make people dance. Recent remixes of Bloc Party’s Silent Alarm and Beck’s Guero (as Guerelito) are among the higher-profile examples of full-album treatments, with single-track mash-ups and adaptations having a long-standing presence.
Having once worked for a labor union, Bostonist knows that relations between workers and management can get more than a little tense. But we were impressed with the audacity of Harborside Healthcare: The Boston company is challenging the results of a union election, saying that the voting was not fair because a union organizer threatened to use voodoo on healthcare workers (most of whom are Haitian) if they didn't vote for the union.
