[What You Should Order At...] Little Purity

When I was in my 20’s, I dated a guy that lived above Park Slope’s Katina’s Diner. I used to lug my hungover ass down his apartment steps in the morning to scarf down mediocre diner pancakes, sometimes still wearing my pajamas. It was convenient and I was lazy. Times have changed, but only a little. I’m no longer in my 20’s, Katina’s is now Little Purity, and though I still pride myself on being lazy, I now lug my sober ass many blocks to order Little Purity’s mind-blowing lemonade. “What?!” you say? "A mere glass of lemonade is your recommendation for what to get?" Hear me out, FIPS readers.

Viacom Has The Hots For BKLYN; Nickelodeon’s Day of Play in Prospect Park

Ok, what’s up with Park Slope and surrounding BKLYN being the center of Viacom’s universe? First VMA’s at Barclay, now this shizzle in Prospect Park’s on September 21^s!  It’s basically a day for your kids that gained the Kindergarten fifteen to do some toe touching, running, heavy breathing, you get the idea, like you in the one and only Zumba class you attended at the Armory. 

I’m sure all the whiners that were against the trashing of The Nethermead this past May are going to be none too happy about this tot and parent filled activity fest. There will be lots of organized athletic activities like double dutch, tennis drills and Zumba (hey, your lazy ass can try it a 2^nd time).  The area will be fenced in and there will be at least three EMS stations around the perimeter in case your pirate-booty-eating, Sponge-Bob-watching-couch-potato rug rats can’t handle a little exertion. Maybe the EMS stations are there for the BTR obsessed fainting tweens. Yes, that’s right Big Time Rush in all their hair coiffed glory will be there.  I’m sure you don’t give a shit, but your little Sophia or Maya or Ruby does.

Did you know yesterday was official Go Topless Day in New York (and many other cities that we don’t care about since we are the epicenter of the world)? DNAInfo even provided a handy-dandy guide to the best places to go topless in NYC, and we were too fucking busy trying to figure out who da fuq Becky G is to notice. Day-um.

As it turns out, it’s legal to let your pillows bounce in Park Slope or anywhere in New York, whenever your want. There was a 1992 ruling that allows ladies, with or without a baby or pasties covering delicate areolas to go sans shirt.

Cool or Not Cool: Tweens Wearing Booty Shorts

Image via DodgeandBurn.Gawker.comWhile eating a Coltrane with veggie sausage from Dizzy's, I eavesdropped on some neighborhood moms discussing booty shorts. 

"My husband would never let Sophia out of the house dressed in booty shorts like those kids."

"I don't blame him. Sexualizing little girls. So gross." 

I imagined they were talking about children twerking on the monkey bars at Harmony Playground or strutting their sassy ASSets while picking out Organic Kale with their mommys at the Grand Army Plaza farmers market. I've never witnessed those happenings, or read about it on any of my PSP daily digests, but they could happen.
