I was there just for Cardi B’s Pepsi commercial — and she was barely in it! — so I was gratified by Burger King’s 45-second-long ad starring the late Andy Warhol. I appreciate expensive corporate risk-taking … when it causes no harm. How many people watching…
My Best Dressed at the 2019 Golden Globes Is …
My extremely prestigious Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award demands a certain je ne sais quoi in addition to fashion flair.

Wednesday’s Video: Crazy Ancient Romans

There are a lot of important birthdays in my world this week: my sister’s, MrB’s, and Madonna’s. This week’s video mentions all of those but I have to admit that it focuses on Madonna’s big 60th. (Hey, Terri got BirchBox and MrB got a new duvet.) Check out what I have to say about 1980s…
