Fresh Air Fund Flashback
Good grief! June flew by — or floated by, given the amount of rain we’ve had in New York — and I never got around to posting the photos from the Fresh Air Fund party that MrB and I went to on June 4 with eight gorgeous friends: Scott, Isabelle, Zang, Melissa, Alix, Jen, Cheryl…
East Coast Ass Flowers
The Metropolitan Museum of Art held its 2009 Corporate Benefit on Wednesday night. The honorees were Michael J. Kowalksi, chairman and chief executive of some non-WendyB jewelry place, and my dear friend, Ambassador Carl Spielvogel. (Carl is married to the gorgeous Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel, previously mentioned here.) I wore the beautiful Zang Toi gown that I…
Weight-Loss Tip
When the moon is directly overhead you weigh slightly less. I got this bit of trivia from the underside of my Diet Snapple lid. Snapple always puts what it calls a “Real Fact” on the flip side of the lid. That’s where I read that a duck’s quack doesn’t echo. I’m skeptical about that. I…
Zang in Bloom
My talented and charitable designer friend Zang Toi won the “Most Beautiful Headdress” award at Tulips & Pansies Headdress the Affair, the event I mentioned here. For the event, which raises money for Village Care of New York, fashion designers and florists team up to produce spectacular head pieces. Zang worked with Golf Srithamrong of…

Holiday Confusion
You know how calendars have all the important holidays printed in them? Well, my 2009 calendar is defective because today it says “St. Patrick’s Day” when it is really St. Coco’s Day. Yes, people. My idol, Coco, came into the world 30 years ago today. I resent that you just thought, “Only thirty?!” You better…
El-Oh-El-Ay Lola
I was happy to see Kate Winslet win an Oscar last month for her performance in The Reader. Winslet on her winning night If you haven’t seen the movie, I recommend it. Based on a book by Bernhard Schlink and set in post-World War II Germany, The Reader is about a teenager who has a…
