I wore a houndstooth Versace dress, purchased before 2005, to a wedding in this December. I had previously shown it on the blog in 2010 and 2008, but I just found a photo from 2006 that I’d forgotten about. This isn’t a full-length picture, but it gives you a good look at the mesh cutouts…
Throwback Thursday
Throwback Thursday: The Late, Great Mr. Chubbs
For Throwback Thursday, here’s a May June 1996 photo of my first Pekingese, Mr. Chubbs, shortly after I brought him home from the pound and cut his long matted hair off. There was a cute dog under there! I think Chubbs looks a little bewildered by the recent changes in his life, not to mention…
Throwback Thursday: Wavy Hair, Then and Now
I normally wear my hair as straight as I can get it, but I will wear it wavy/curly for a special occasion. I just came across this photo, taken on New Year’s Eve 2004. It would have been nice of my photographer, MrB, to tell me that one of the little satin loops sewn inside…
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…
Throwback Thursday: Annie on Broadway in 1979
MrB and I went to a screening of the new movie adaptation of Annie last night. Quvenzhané Wallis (Beasts of the Southern Wild) makes an adorable Annie and Jamie Foxx plays Will Stacks, the updated version of Daddy Warbucks. I enjoyed watching a little boy next to me literally sitting on the edge of his…
Throwback Thanksgiving Thursday: AIDS Dance-a-Thon 1994
Exactly twenty years and one day ago today, I was at the five-hour-long GMHC AIDS Dance-a-Thon at the Javits Center in New York. It was my second year at the Dance-a-Thon and I was extremely serious about my fundraising. I was one of those people who went around the office terrorizing people till they donated….
Throwback Thursday: Harry Chapin and Wonderama
Recently, I messed up my iPod and ended up with all my music in the cloud instead of on the device. (I don’t listen to music on my phone because I need the phone battery to send 50 billion emails a day and to play the Kardashian Hollywood game. We all have our priorities.) As…
Throwback Thursday: One-Off Earrings
I was looking back through some photos of one-of-a-kind earrings I did back in the day. I bet my friend Hannah of Diamond Doodles would have had fun turning this pair — made from golden pearls set in 18K rose gold — into a pair of clowns in tall hats. This style — blue topaz…
Throwback Thursday: The Halloween Rap-O-Lantern
Because this Throwback Thursday is also the day before Halloween, allow me to present — again — one of my all-time favorite pumpkin carvings: 2011’s Rick Ross Rap-O-Lantern. As a jewelry designer, I had mad love for rapper Rick Ross’s diamond depictions of his own face, so I flipped out when I saw the pumpkin…
Throwback Thursday: Global Citizen Festival
I owe a big, belated thank you to my California-based Twitter friend John Laurente. Early last month, he asked me if I wanted his tickets to a September 27 Jay Z concert in New York that he wouldn’t be able to attend. I’d already seen Jay Z twice, but I was up for a third…
