Micgar over at C3 Fun recently assaulted me with an 8-themed tag. Luckily he didn’t wield a 100-themed tag, because that is a capital offense.

Best Wishes to the (Soon-to-Be) Bride
ENC of Observationmode is too shy to make a big deal of it herself, so I’m making a fuss for her: She’s getting married on March 20! Stop by her blog to leave your best wishes, but not your congratulations. Traditionally, you say “Congratulations” to the groom because he’s managed to find a woman who…
A Basic Wardrobe, Part I
Gorgeous blogger K-Line tagged me to answer the question: “What is a basic wardrobe to you?” I put off writing my reply for a couple of days because I’m (a) a big procrastinator and (b) unhappy with my basic wardrobe. I am in mourning for my old wardrobe. Since I left the corporate world in…
Be Mused
Every great designer needs a muse. Alexander McQueen had Isabella Blow. John Galliano had Amanda Harlech. Yves Saint Laurent had Betty Catroux. Moira McLaughlin has me. Yes, I inspired Moira’s “I Eat Your Milkbone” dog t-shirt. This isn’t the first time I’ve be-mused one of Moira’s clan. Her sister Sheila helped me out during my…
One for the Glove Lovahs
I recently got a lot of traffic from glove-loving perverts who discovered this old post. I like to keep the perv demographic happy, so I was delighted when Susie Bubble linked to Gloved Up. Get a load of these babies! To be extra-nice, I’ll also give you Spinal Tap’s original Smell the Glove album cover….
Adventures in Arizona, Part II
As I started telling you, I spent last weekend at the Tucson Gem Show before visiting the beauteous sister bloggers Jennifer and Megan in Phoenix. I bought a few great stones, but I never tell people about the pieces I’m working on until they’re finished, so you’ll have to wait! My husband came along. He…
It Came From the Blogosphere
The gorgeous Jill at Trendinista did an interview with me. Check out her funny questions here! Lovely Hebden at Style … a Work in Progress fails to see the beauty of fish feet. For shame, Hebden. Glamazonian Jenn of In Yr Fshn was kind enough to present both views of my Sophie twisting heart pendant…
Adventures in Arizona, Part I
I sneaked off to Arizona this weekend to check out the Tucson Gem Show. Afterwards, I stopped in Phoenix to visit gorgeous sister bloggers Jennifer and Megan. We had dinner (I had “Voodoo Tuna”) during which I attempted to drink for four: myself, Megan, Jennifer and Jennifer’s bun in the oven. Considering the baby was…
My Latest Ode to Latex Love
Practically Pregnant in Every Way reminded me that the insanely beauteous Monica Belluci rocked a white latex dress in at least one of the Matrix movies. (Give me a break, peeps. She’s not a queen so I’m not going to do major research on what was worn in which movie.) Matrix peeps in black latex…
When I Want Your Opinion….
…I’ll beat it out of you. And it’s time for a beating. Do you bitches prefer pop-up comments or non-pop-up comments? I know Carol and ENC prefer pop-ups. How about the rest of you? Speaking of blogging peeps, quite a few have made my day by presenting me with the You Make My Day award….
