Gorgeous blogger Val Sparkle — fellow aficionado of Seinfeld and Family Guy — posted her very own puffy shirt on her blog yesterday. Quite a few wimmins have emailed or tweeted me to tell me about their own puffy shirts since I posted mine on Tuesday. I think I should do a slideshow of puffy-shirt…

“Exit Through the Gift Shop”*
I can’t resist a museum gift shop. When I’m at one in real life, I’m drawn to catalogs and books. On the Internets, I look at fashion. Last night, I was browsing some gift shops online when I hit the Guggenheim‘s site. Why didn’t I know that this New York City museum sells a reproduction…
What Wendy Wore: Family Guy Epiphany & 2 Seinfeld References
When I had the chance to wear my highly flammable, oversize, costume-store-purchased pirate shirt to an Adam Ant concert last year, I had a Family Guy moment. In the Family Guy episode “Boys Don’t Cry,” the Griffin family is on the run from people who think baby Stewie is possessed by the devil. Stewie dresses…
Wigging Out With Keith Carpenter
As I’ve said before, my hair guru, Keith Carpenter, has been cutting my hair since the early ’90s. We’ve done everything from pixies … … to perms … … to mullets together. Tonight, Keith decided we’d go through everything at once, so he got out his wigs. He’d chopped up some of the shorter ones…
Wimmin-Haters and the Grammy Dress Code
I spent some time poking around teh Internets yesterday, looking for someone to confirm the authenticity of a wimmin-hating dress-code email sent out by CBS’s official prudes ahead of Sunday’s Grammy telecast. Did you see this? It was first reported by Nikki Finke at Deadline Hollywood on Wednesday. A source leaked the memo to her,…
Post-Super-Bowl Post: Jewelry for Beyonce, a Bet on Eminem
Like more than 108 million other people, I was glued to the television on Sunday, watching the Beyonce concert. You know, the big performance that was preceded by football, and followed by quiet naptime and then more football. I agree with Beyonce that the show was “Gone With the Wind fabulous!” I was thrilled by…
The King Is Dead. Long Live the King.
A lot of my jewelry is inspired by royalty, but I focus on females: queens, empresses, queen consorts, princesses. I figure history as it is taught in elementary and high school is basically about men, so I prefer to concentrate on herstory. However, I have a soft spot for one dude: England’s 15th-century Richard III….
Favorite Tweets and the Week in Review
Recently, I’ve gotten some heartwarming tweets. On Friday, I met with Jennifer Heebner, a senior editor at jewelry industry publication JCK Magazine. JCK was so supportive of me in 2012, choosing me to be its “JCK Asks…” interviewee in the November issue. (Melissa Rose Bernardo‘s introduction to my interview made me laugh out loud.) My…
Now Playing: Emeli Sandé. Plus, the Week in Review
I saw gorgeous singer Emeli Sandé perform at Webster Hall on Thursday. Last year, I swore I wouldn’t go back to Webster Hall, ever, after experiencing a Theophilus London rap concert there. Webster Hall has been around in its current incarnation as a dance club and concert venue for 20 years. I used to go…
Awk-Ward and YELLY!
I’ve been very amused by Jimmy Kimmel lately. Eric Stonestreet‘s moment on the latest “Celebrities Read Mean Tweets” segment really made my day. Props to Jessical Biel too!
