Thank you to all my gorgeous customers and helpers* who made last night’s trunk show at Pink Elephant so wonderful. No thanks to T-Bags, the makers of a dress that I wore because I liked the colors, not realizing it made me look 10 months pregnant. I thought I only looked six months pregnant in…

Dame Is Two Letters Away From Dumb
When my former dream client, actress Helen Mirren, said some shizz about date rape to GQ earlier this year, I didn’t say anything because I never read the original article (of course, neither did the majority of the people who were crapping their pants about it). From what I read about the article, it seemed…
Foxy Lady
I know this was a terrible experience for the victim of a rabid-fox attack, but I can’t help laughing a little at the idea of a jogger running a mile with a fox clamped onto her arm. Speaking of foxes, here’s the latest addition to my men’s collection. I call this fox-and-grapes combo “Aesop’s Shirt…
Someone Fell Down on the Job
Who forgot to tell me that my hero, Katt Williams, was playing Carnegie Hall last night? Hmmm? Also, who forgot to tell Katt not to drive around NYC with a bunch of guns? Well, this is a good reason to repost my favorite Katt Williams clip. In other news, I totes agree with this! UPDATED…
Election Night Fashion Moments
Last night, we went to an awesome election party hosted by Oscar-winning movie producer (and Halston owner!) Harvey Weinstein. Besides Obama’s victory, a highlight was the moment I took this picture of MrB and our friends Norm and Jane. Look who was lurking in the background. This photo is dedicated to fashion icon Daphne Guinness’s…
Yma Sumac Dies
The fabulous Peruvian singer Yma Sumac has died at 86. Check out some of her old looks. Glamorous, no? If you don’t know who she is, read her New York Times obituary, which has some highlarious details, including: “She soon played Carnegie Hall, flanked onstage by two miniature erupting volcanoes.” Now my ambition is to…
Vote and Get It Over With Already!
It’s Election Day and if I could, I would vote for “never hearing the names McCain, Obama or Palin” again. I’m sick of this shizz. (I never seem to hear about Biden so he’s not on the list.) Also, WTF is with this t-shirt? Embed from Getty Images What is that supposed to mean? It’s…
Who Ya Gonna Call?
This video reminds me of the Ghostbusters line: “Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria!” Except this time there’s a side of Chicken McNuggets. Thanks for Cute Overload for this one. And thanks to the New York Times for some not-cute-at-all moments. They should have renamed this Sunday’s Styles section the “Boys Who…
Vintage Butt Bow, Plus Jackets
This vintage butt-bow dress is beautiful, isn’t it? ’60s gown$325 at Maire McLeod Speaking of bows, the New York Observer jumped on my bow bandwagon with this story. And speaking of bandwagons, you bloggers were months ahead of the designers and fashion media with your interest in band/military-style jackets. Bravo! Balmain is copying YOU! Here…
Where Are You Now, Gold Bugs?
Continuing my thoughts from a week ago…. Gold is down below $800 an ounce (yay!) and headed for a big weekly loss. Naturally, I haven’t heard from any would-be gold investors today, because THIS would be the time to buy gold. I only hear from them when gold is at a high. Speaking of investing,…
