Like a lot of small-business owners, I spend my free time sitting at the bar, telling my friends and random winos that my career would be MADE if only a huge celebrity bought something from me. Well, I think my overnight success must be nigh because Kim Kardashian‘s 72-day marriage is over and who should…

“That’s How You Do It, Bitch!”
Lately, when I need cheering up and J. Lo’s “Defend Your Outfit” video isn’t quite enough, I watch the super-gay version of “Bonjour” from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. Enjoy!
Can’t Get Lenny Kravitz’s Phone Action Out of My Head
Way back in June, I was delighted by musician Lenny Kravitz’s so-wrong-it’s-right, retro, mobile-phone handset. When I was in Paris last month, I saw the handsets by Native Union at Colette. They come in a range of colors and cost 35 euros, including VAT (approx. $50). You can also buy the handset from Amazon for…
Together, Wherever We Go
You can follow me on Twitter, you can follow me on Facebook, you can follow me on Instagram and now you can follow me on Pinterest too. Here’s how Pinterest describes itself: “Pinterest is a virtual pinboard. Pinterest allows you to organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. You can…
Makeup Attacks … and Is Attacked
Last week, a busybody speculated aloud that my favorite red lipstick is full of lead that will give me cancer. (My reaction can be summed up by this 2008 post.) Right after that conversation, I saw that lots of news organizations were picking up a story about a pair of Dutch artists — Lernert Engelberts…
Rihanna, Lady Gaga and Parents Who Fail at Parenting
I saw this style question on another site last week: “Hello Sasha, I’m going to [a] concert – don’t judge me! I’m going to see Rihanna with some friends. I’m 40ish, I consider myself stylish, and I’m a size 8 with an hour glass figure. I have no idea what to wear to a concert…
What Won’t Be in My Next Collection: Family Guy Jewelry
Y’all know I love Family Guy. However, as the great philosopher Meat Loaf sang, “I’d do anything for love (but I won’t do that.)” In this case, “that” is a custom-made, 12-carat, ruby-and-diamond Stewie Griffin necklace, like the one purchased by Justin Bieber and inflicted upon my eyes by TMZ.com. When I saw this, I…
Courtney Love Is a Gateway Drug
I take back everything bad I’ve said about Courtney Love because I’m loving the contact high I got from her insane interview with The Fix, a website about addiction and recovery. Courtney isn’t as compulsively quotable as Charlie Sheen. There is no “winning” or “tiger blood” or “I am on a drug, it’s called CHARLIE…
Mariah Carey’s Push Present: Twin Nameplate Necklace
I’m a great believer in the “push present” for women who have just had babies. It doesn’t matter if you’ve given birth or adopted. All big occasions should be celebrated with jewelry, and becoming a mother is pretty damn big. Check out my website or contact me to discuss a custom design. You can read…
The Met Gala Dress of My Dreams
I can’t get over the cobwebby Zac Posen gown that actress Christina Ricci wore at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute gala on Monday. This dress brings the drama! The gala marked the opening of the Costume Institute’s Alexander McQueen exhibit. I was surprised by how few attendees wore McQueen dresses. Maybe all the…
