Happy Valentine’s Day From Purrkoy!
Purrkoy, the kitten with the heart-shaped nose, would like to wish you a happy Valentine’s Day. There’s no place PK would rather spend Valentine’s Day than in the bathroom sink. It’s his favorite spot. (When he wants the faucet turned on so he can take a drink, he yodels for a human.) What are you…

Today is the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, and I’ve been thinking about a decorative-arts museum: the Musée Nissim de Camondo in Paris.

Throwback Thursday and Merry Titmas!
As a big Beatles fan, I can never resist the opportunity to say “Twenty years ago today …” so here we go! My Throwback Thursday photo is, indeed, from 20 years ago today: Dec. 25, 1994. My family was celebrating my Dec. 23 birthday and my parents’ Dec. 26 anniversary. My father, GeorgeB, gave me…
What Wendy Wore: Leather, Just Like Santa
The public-relations firm LaForce + Stevens throws holiday parties with highlarious themes. This year’s event was held Monday, Dec. 15.
