For the Person Who Has Everything
A disturbing Hieronymus Bosch figurine is the gift that says, “See you in Hell!” And don’t we all know someone who deserves that? Egg Monster figurine is 20 pounds at the National Gallery shop. More nightmarish figurines here.
Twinset
I finally wore my J. Crew argyle sweater out to dinner last night. Hopefully this sweater won’t disintegrate like the other J. Crew sweater did.

Naa! Naa! Dude Looks Like a Lady
An Aerosmith song has been stuck in my head for three days now. No matter where I go or what I do, “Dude Looks Like a Lady” is going through my mind. At the dentist being interrogated about my flossing habits? “Dude Looks Like a Lady!” At a jewelry wholesaler paying $10 million for three…
