Marc Jacobs started his show over two hours late. At least this time there was ventilation, so I didn’t sweat all over my Ossie Clark dress. Due to camera problems, I missed a good shot of Posh Beckham aka Victoria Spice. Fortunately, fashion reporter Cheryl Tan was willing to do her best Posh imitation. Cheryl,…

Maid in Manhattan?
I haven’t worn gloves for years. I prefer to stuff my hands in my pockets and complain about the cold weather. But when I found these woolly fingerless gloves in Bergen, Norway, this summer, I was in love. Then, two days ago, I was on Madison Avenue and walked by Sermoneta Gloves. The brightly colored…
Zang With a Z
Tonight my husband and I saw Zang Toi‘s spring line at a fundraiser Zang held for the Lance Armstrong Foundation. We saw both singer Patti LaBelle and DJ drag queen Lady Bunny there. Who is the greater diva? I would have liked to see them wrestle for the title. Maybe next season! The theme for…
No Good Fish Goes Anywhere Without a Porpoise
Fasshonaburu brought this fishy Tory Burch skirt to my attention. And here we have a fish watch. Great Gear News posted about this fishy design. But alas, I am still unable to procure my life’s true desire: fish feet. As God is my witness, I shall not rest till I have little carp teeth encircling…

I Can See Clearly Now…
the rain is gone. After some bad storms here in NYC, the sun is shining brightly. But if you want to be chic in the next downpour, you should prepare now lest you find yourself buying one of those ugly $5 jobs off the street. Give Rihanna’s umbrella-ella-ellas a pass and check out Rain or…
Elton John’s Glasses
As In Yr Fshn correctly points out, one shouldn’t mention crazy glasses without giving props to Elton John. Check out Elton!
Stars on Your Eyes
Behind Big Glasses posted about red sunglasses and included a star-shaped pair in the photos. That reminded me of a pair of shades Freddie Mercury of Queen wore in the “We Will Rock You” video way back in 1977. I couldn’t find a photo of Freddie wearing the glasses but I was able to find…
