I had a huge, huge day yesterday which included a rainbow parade, two brainstorming meetings at Veselka, a party at jcpenney for the end of our MNG by MANGO mission, & finished up with Uber Chocolate Fest 2011 (TM) at Max Brenner! So this Carousel is a little belated, but I’m sure you’ll agree, it’s a goodie… !

You all know how much I love Drake. Here’s his GQ&A.

GQ: Who’s the ideal girl for Drake?

Drake: Who’s the ideal girl? She is very funny, very supportive, understands that right now I’m trying to build with somebody. The ideal girl is driven, working on something other than modeling or being a singer…

Jordan wrote about staying in a Paris apartment, which I’ll definitely be doing next time I’m there!

I love hotels as much as the next girl, but apartments are usually much larger & more cost-effective!
