Makeup at Timo Weiland

Makeup at Timo Weiland

Here Comes the Sun

We don’t encourage anyone to get a sunburn (in fact, we are SPF junkies). But if anyone could make a case for faking one, it’d be makeup artist James Boehmer. After he was done with them, the models at Timo Weiland’s s/s 2012 show looked like they had just hopped off surfboards.

To get this look at home, use Nars loose powder in Beach and blush in Zen.

Ask the Office Guy No. 47

In the age of social media, it’s always interesting to see new, technology-driven ways in which people can be a-holes. Here’s one: Our reader’s date tweeted “can’t wait to tap this” while they were still out together. In this Ask the Office Guy, Dan shares his take on this WTF? situation.

A Gourmetified Ramen Recipe

A Gourmetified Ramen Recipe

Chuko Opens in Prospect Heights

Any reality TV junkie knows that the test of a good chef is what he can create using only ingredients from a convenience store. (Krispy Kreme bread pudding, anyone?)

With that in mind, we asked the chefs at Chuko, the new ramen restaurant opening tonight in Prospect Heights, to show us what they could do with the 99-cent version you ate in college. We also threw in a Pathmark-prepared rotisserie chicken for fun.

Once you watch (and make it for yourself in the five minutes immediately afterward), imagine what the Morimoto-trained chef/owners — Jamison Blankenship, James Sato, and David Koon — do with real ramen on their small but perfect menu.

Then dream about the gyoza with ponzu dipping sauce, fried green tomato buns with pickled onion and tofu dressing, and homemade ice cream sandwiches.

They win the challenge.

Chuko, 552 Vanderbilt Avenue, at Dean Street, Prospect Heights (718-576-6701 or barchuko.com).
