Anne Boleyn for Dummies, Part Deux
Now with 100% more idiocy! I belatedly read an item in Fashion Week Daily; it was overheard at a screening of The Other Boleyn Girl: In the popcorn line, [starlet’s name redacted] chatted up [second starlet], who recently finished filming After School, a documentary directed by Chris Barrett about teacher-student sex scandals (she plays a…
Where the Hell Is This Sonia Rykiel?
After all these years, I still pine for Carrie Bradshaw’s Paris outfit. The Sonia Rykiel giant-flower top was fabulous! The skirt was beautiful too, but I can’t find a picture of it. Speaking of Sex and the City, I was very annoyed by this article on the movie’s fashion and all of its idiotic and…

The following sentences are all great: It’s strange, because she has office manager hair, but chola eyebrows. It’s like she’s in…

Adventures in Arizona, Part II
As I started telling you, I spent last weekend at the Tucson Gem Show before visiting the beauteous sister bloggers Jennifer and Megan in Phoenix. I bought a few great stones, but I never tell people about the pieces I’m working on until they’re finished, so you’ll have to wait! My husband came along. He…
