Free David Barton Gym Membership

If you’re like us, you’re on a fixed income and are forced to workout at a fluorescent-lit torture chamber inhabited by creatures better left at the Black Lagoon and the fab David Barton Gym on 23rd Street is just a pipe dream.

But now through Saturday, if you enroll with a one-year membership at David Barton, you get the rest of the summer free! No fees or payments until September 1st. Okay, its not really free, but its a good discount and the gym creatures are a little better looking. Just a little.

Meet Mischa Barton

Meet future Academy Award-winner, fashion idiot (we know, we’re being totally evil) and former O.C. star Mischa Barton tomorrow at Lord & Taylor on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. I know, she’s about exciting as cold cornbread, but she’s the new spokesperson for Keds. I guess they’ve never seen her deliver lines. Buy a pair of Keds and she’ll scrawl her name on them.
