The site offers daily e-newsletters specific to Boston, Chicago, Dallas, LA, NYC, San Francisco and the country, with fabulous doses of fashion, culture, beauty, dining, etc. Go to the site and subscribe, there's something for everyone.

One feature is an evolving lexicon for 21st century, urban gay/faghag/fashionista types. If it isn't obvious, yours truly is a gym-obsessed, going out to faboofoodie type of guy. So I love this stuff.
