Here’s the fifth look from my “Immortal Style” brand campaign starring 76-year-old model Judith Boyd, aka the Style Crone. She’s modeling my Queen of Scots snake necklace and earrings.

Treat Yo Self While Supporting Abortion Rights
Shout-out to gorgeous customer Ali, whose ring order enabled me to make a $25 donation to Access Reproductive Care – Southeast today! Like I said yesterday, all people deserve freedom, choice, and sovereignty over their own bodies, and that includes abortion on demand for anyone who has a uterus. Ali was the first to person…
#StopTheBans: What *You* Can Do, Starting Right Now!
Shout-out to everyone who participated in today’s #StopTheBans national day of action! People rallied at statehouses, town squares, and courthouses across the nation to say … … to state politicians who are co-ordinating an attack on Roe v. Wade by passing draconian abortion laws that they know will be challenged in court. If you couldn’t…
Dracarys: We’re All Angry Queens Now
Can you feel it now? The anger? via GIPHY The gif above is from Mad Men and I’ve thought of it almost daily since that well-timed episode aired just over four years ago. The scene pops into my head whenever the most powerful people in the our country display their hatred, greed, and criminality —…

Year in Review: 2018’s Top Fashion Slays, Worst Nays
Despite the fact that this year was all about politics for me, I didn’t expect my two favorite fashion moments to emerge from the political arena. But earlier this month, Michelle Obama came to slayyyyyyyyy in thigh-high, glittery Balenciaga boots and my eyes nearly fell out of my head. Embed from Getty Images Obama was…
Election-Day Video, Links, and Liuba
Hallelujah! Election Day is here at last. I’m jealous of all of you who have voted already. The majority of states have early voting, but New York does not because Republicans in our state senate have refused to pass voting-reform legislation. As a result, today is likely to be madness, and I’ll get to see…
