Hayden Panettiere from the television show Heroes wore my 18K gold and diamond Borgia poison ring on the Jimmy Kimmel show October 1. She picked up the ring at Broken English. Here she is in action. Check out Heroes on Hulu.

NieNie on Oprah and Thoughts About Gender Roles
I have a memory like a sieve when it comes to important things — unless you’ve offended me, in which case I have a memory like an elephant. So even though several gorgeous bloggers told me that NieNie, the blogger who was severely burned in a plane crash last year, was going to be on…
“I Saw It in the Window and I Just Couldn’t Resist It”
Now that my Patrick Kelly dress — previously declared by WWD to be a fashion disaster — went over so well at the IFB Dress-Up Soiree, I feel emboldened to pursue the gown of my dreams. And that, my friends, is the drapery dress, complete with curtain rods, worn by Carol Burnett in her role…
Up, Up and Away in Wine Country
Something I did in Napa Valley: Hot-air ballooning. Something I didn’t do in Napa Valley: Grape stomping. I Love Lucy grape-stomping episode News reporter grape-stomping fail Family Guy’s Stewie imitates the reporter’s grape-stomping failure UPDATED TO ADD MORE PICTURES: Here’s one from the air. After the flight, we had breakfast at a Tex-Mex place, where…
Confession: I Worked for “Birther” Lover Lou Dobbs
Lately, immigrant-hating CNN maniac Lou Dobbs is getting a lot of publicity for giving airtime to “birthers” — people who are convinced by the aliens who control their minds via chips installed during anal probes that Barack Obama was born in Kenya, instead of Hawaii. Some of you know that before I was a jewelry…
Paris, Day 5, Part Deux: Blogger Dinner

Oh No They Di’int!
Does anyone else think that the shape of Dolce & Gabbana’s fur coat bears an alarming resemblance to the monster from Bugs Bunny? Thank you, gorgeous blogger Gnarlitude Jen, for the post that led me to this important realization.
Where’s the Beef?
I grew up with Heinz Ketchup commercials that used Carly Simon‘s song Anticipation to make the point that the ketchup was so thick and rich that it came out of the bottle very slowly. Times have changed. Last night, while out at dinner with my gorgeous friends Jen, Kevin, Alyssa, and Amanda, I became distracted…
What Really Grinds My Gears
I’ve mentioned my love for the animated series Family Guy before. On one episode, Peter Griffin gets his own segment on the local news called “What Really Grinds My Gears.” Take a look. The incest/period portion of that clip isn’t relevant to my post today. I don’t even have a brother, for God’s sake! You…
Everyone Complains About the Weather
It started out cloudy and cool today, but now I see the sun peeking out. Confusing. So, before I go out this evening, I will check The Fucking Weather for the latest forecast. My gorgeous blogging friend Tina pointed out this bit of highlariousness to me. When I checked a few minutes ago, the site…
