I second CJ's remark. I've always wanted to know what my favorite plastic surgeon was up to on his night off. As well as checking in on my laser eye doctor's favorite new hot spot in Greenspring Valley. Look forward to the glossy blog!!!

Uh....not exactly competing for the same demographic, are we?
why should they? perhaps they are covering another niche that also includes nightlife (unless fleetwood mac plays daytime concerts now) just perhaps some people would like to go someplace other than a bar for nightlife......
YIKES!! WHAT AM I SAYING!!!!
sorry, i lost my head for a min there, i'm better now.
