… as soon as I recover from this terrible cold. Don’t worry about me. I have excellent medical care. One of my favorite doctors is Dr. Jennifer Chaitman from Veterinary Internal Medicine and Allergy Specialists. If she were my doctor, she’d pet me and uncurl my tail and say how cute I was. That’s what…

Thoughts on 9/11: The Devil Is in the Details
“The devil is in the details” normally means that the biggest challenges of a project are contained in its smaller elements. But I always think of the expression in relation to the personal stories told by or of the victims of catastrophic events. Such is particularly the case for me today, the anniversary of the…
One Sample Size Does Not Fit All. Deal With It.
Did you know the world revolved around voluptuous Mad Men star Christina Hendricks? Neither did I! Fortunately, I read New York Magazine’s The Cut blog, which alerted me to the fact via a story about Hendricks that ran in the The Daily Record of Scotland. The Record quoted her as saying: “People have been saying…
Blogs, Brands, Bullshizz
The front-page story in WWD today is “Advertisers Go Social: Brand-Blogger Linkups Marketings’ New Rage.” Gorgeous blogger Jennine (of The Coveted and Independent Fashion Bloggers) is quoted extensively in the article.

One thing I love about U.K. magazines is that they occasionally give me presents. My keychain is a light-blue heart from Aspinal of London that I got with an issue of Tatler a while back. This month, while in London, I picked up an issue of Elle that came with a Paul & Joe Sister…
Search Engine Self-Censorship
There’s an interesting article in today’s New York Times about a large search-engine company whose name is just two letters away from the word “poodle.” Read the article. That’s all I’m going to say because I learned my lesson. I complained about my “poodle” search results in blog posts published on January 6, 2008, and…
I’m Not Here, I’m There
I’ve been working with gorgeous blogger Jennine on an Independent Fashion Bloggers post about how some social-networking sites redistribute user-generated content to third parties. This issue is relevant to everyone who uses Facebook as well as fashion-oriented sites. Read the story here.
Leather-Shorts Leader and More Double Denim
In today’s Wall Street Journal, the delightful Rachel Dodes reports that leather shorts are hot, but not in the “too hot to wear in the summer” way. They’re hot as in “selling like hotcakes.” Rachel (with whom I’m acquainted) writes, “The new look made its runway debut last season in the shows of Chloe and…
