Great Minds Think Alike … About Hearts
I came across this vintage Patrick Kelly dress on Vast Vintage. Doesn’t it remind you of the vintage Moschino I wore on Valentine’s Day?
Pharaoh Would Have Called for Joseph
This morning’s post reminded me that I recently had two fashion-related dreams. First, I dreamed that I was on a talk show discussing my controversial leopard-print Patrick Kelly dress. I’m thrilled to say that even though I was asleep, I passionately defended my dress and declared I would wear it again. This was no dream…
Been There, Done That
After I posted a picture of my gorgeous client Melissa’s new pixie hairdo, a few peeps asked me if I would ever consider a pixie. Been there, done that! Here’s proof from October 1992. I was being silly with lipstick in the Great Outdoors at the request of my gorgeous friend Phil, who was wielding…

Thursday Book Club: Southern-Fried Kansas
My last Book Club post took a lot out of me. In fact, Book Club posts always take a lot out of me. When I had drinks with my old friend Dave Kansas recently and was reminded that he majored in history, I realized I could interview him by email for a Book Club post,…
Who Wore Short Shorts in the ’80s?
I’m the one in the Deep Purple t-shirt. Thanks (sorta) to my cousin Gary (the kid with bad posture) for digging up this approximately 25-year-old photo. That’s Terri Berry on the left and Gary’s father, David, in the back. Despite my awesome blonde bangs and concert tee (yes, I did go see the band!), I…
