The last Marc Jacobs show I attended raised a lot of questions in my mind. First, I thought, “Why is this guy so late?” Then I thought, “Where does he get off acting this way?” Then I wondered, “Why didn’t I stay at that nice restaurant and have another drink?” Finally, I asked myself, “Who…

More New Year’s Photos
Finally, I have gotten the rest of the photos from my New Year’s Eve/Birthday Party at Butter. I will share a few. First, a couple of additional looks at my vintage Versace/Little Bo Peep dress. (And though I usually don’t do this, you can click on the photos to enlarge.) It had a nice circle…
Book Club: Shopping Under the Influence
I was determined to get back into my royal lady book posts today, but I seem to have misplaced the Empress Wu novel that I was working on. Plus, I’m feeling a bit flu-ish, which has sapped me of the energy necessary to tear through the house on a mad search for Empress Wu, especially…
Kneel Before Wendy Brandes
Superman II was the best of the Christopher Reeve Superman movies because it had three hot villains. Okay, it had two hot villains. The dude on the right was just some kind of Wookiee with slightly reduced body hair. But on the far left, we have Ursa. Behold the beauteousness of Ursa! Behold her fabulous…
We Tag the World. We Tag the Children.
If you weren’t sentient in the ’80s, you missed some interesting fashion.

Check it out! And, yes, Dita Von Teese and I use the same tanning salon. UPDATED TO ADD: I’ve decided that…
Happy New Year, Bitches!
My husband threw me a big New Year’s Eve/40th birthday party. My friends Phil and Angeline sent me some flowers and balloons to get me in the mood. Lots more pictures to come! UPDATED TO ADD: My dress code for the party was black tie OR mutton dressed as lamb. As you can see from…
An Exception to My Non-Posting Vow
My husband had a great Page 1 story in Saturday’s Wall Street Journal about his career in journalism and his forecast for the news industry. Check it out! From Paul’s surprise going-away-from-the-WSJ party People sent him some lovely notes about the story, though there were a few asshats, like the woman who said the newspaper…
Taking a Few Days Off
I’ve had a lousy week and I’m just not feeling this. I will be back in 2008. Gigi the dog joins me in wishing you health and happiness in the new year. P.S. The gold dress has arrived and the size small IS that short. I’m going to have to take a photo and have…
