SimchaWhitehill.com: Ready for its Close-up

I mentioned yesterday that I designed a new web site for a friend: SimchaWhitehill.com. Well, now that the site has all it's clothes on and though there are some loose threads (see if you can find them), I think it was pretty successful.




Simcha's wordworking (The L'Asso Pizza Guide) will be showcased tonight at L'Asso where they are releasing the pizza guide. The pizza guide will be included as an insert in the New York region of The Onion. She also had a great article in New York magazine about the sexual consolation Lehman Brother employees were seeking on Craigslist following Lehman's demise.

More to come.
