Oooh - the Beatrice sounds lovely, Chuck! My favorite these days is the Misty Kalkofen's Oaxacan Old Fashioned at Drink, made with mezcal. Muy potente; muy sabroso!

I'd still like to throw in a vote for the "Beatrice," our signature cocktail at erbaluce ( it's a clean, dry, classic-style martini made with Brazilian asai berry gin, dry vermouth, and a few native blueberries thrown in that have been marinated in fruit molasses and lavender.) I think it may be the best cocktail in Boston (and that's not just my opinion; I've had many industry people say so, too, right before they fell off their bar stools!)

Stop by, give it a try, let me know what you all think.

You mean Phantom Gourmet reviews are biased?!? Here I was thinking Hearth n' Kettle was worth three Michelins ;-)

Thanks for your work, MC - I find your reviews to be spot on.

"..there were outstanding collections. New York designer J’aime Lizotte, for instance, showed some striking architectural silhouettes, interestingly accented with leather and zippers. Caitlin Allen’s collection reworked country club chic, giving it an urban twist. And Lissner finished up the night with a collection mostly made up of draped goddess gowns and flirty frocks."

Oh everyone in Boston is a stuck up loser and dying to be like New York. Go fuck yourselves Bostonians and your gay sports teams!

Anya, didn't I see you at the BU cafeteria the other day tasting soup and writing for the BU newsletter? That's what you do best and you should stick with that. You have a long way to go, my dear! 4 years at BU may not be enough the way you write.

Maybe you should just continue critiquing high school cafeterias in NH or VT (trust me they may need your type of writers there, not Boston)... or I have a better suggestion in your own words, "Or, I don’t know, a career change. Just a thought."

Whose bright F_____ing ("in big bold letters with many underlines beneath") idea was it to hire a junior in college to write for Stuff anyway?

Ms. Anya should stick to reviewing pot stickers and fish taco's because she's obviously clueless when it comes to fashion. Yes, we all have our own opinions - but the level of professionalism displayed in this short article rivals that of a disagreeable teenager.

What this article lacks is tact, and I'm not sure she'll ever emerge gracefully from her cocoon. No matter how long it takes.

The Emerging Trends fashion show was the most cohesive and professionally presented event I attended during Fashion Week. Some of the designers were phenomenal, and some could have been juried out - but in the end, the overall evening was gave a variety of looks that screamed FASHION.

Fashion today is about style and personality more than anything else. Boston is in an ideal position to cultivate these rising designers and make a difference on the creative landscape. Bravo, Synergy productions!!

Stuff Magazine has always been a trashy publication proving their ignorance about fashion, food or anything worth while. Boston Fashion needs improvement, there is no doubt, however a magazine writer who can't even write or appreciate those who want to take the city to the next level should shut their door.

A major show like the Boston Fashion Week Emerging Trends deserves a well educated fashion critic who can actually speak and write about fashion. Its utterly disgusting that a Boston based magazine would not only disgrace the fashion community by using poor word choices in her writing but also have the nerve to criticize a Miss Mass pageant holder.

We were at your so called "Fashion Week After parties" and we saw what you guys put together. No one even shows up to your trashy parties. You should be black listed from covering any fashion event!

I attended the show and I thought it was great. There's not that many fashion shows in Boston to begin with, let alone ones that are actually of caliber. There was a good mix of European design, futuristic design, eloquent pieces, and some pieces that you could wear as an everyday wardrobe. The show was about emerging trends and I think they did a fabulous job bringing out new designers.

If she is a food critic, shouldn't she be writing about food? I attended the event...I thought it was fun and the designs were edgy, artistic, exciting and chic. While I did not love all the designs, I could certainly appreciate the artistic essence of each designer. Boston is not known for fashion...I know because I am a Boston native...Bostonians know fashion the way Chicagoans know the beach. I have often felt a decade behind when traveling to foreign cities (Tokyo, London, NY, etc). It was very exciting to have a fashion event here and maybe, just maybe, Boston will welcome fashion at last!

I really loved Keith Lissner's dresses! Fabulous! I look forward to attending another event. We may not be NYC when it comes to fashion, but we certainly are EMERGING.
