Former Tonight Show host Johnny Carson used to do a bit about a psychic named Carnac the Magnificent. Get me a giant turban, people, because I am having a Carnac moment after reading today’s New York Times story on Zac Posen, The Trials of a Former Boy Wonder. It quotes Posen, a pre-crash success story…

Lady Gaga at the Grammys
I was half-asleep next to a coffee-table book about the Hours of Catherine of Cleves when I realized the Grammy red carpet must be underway. I dashed to the TV and turned it on just in time to hear, “And that was Lady Gaga.” Luckily, gorgeous blogger Karen of Where Did U Get That tweeted…
Three Bloggers, Two Hats, One Ring
One of my jewelers has developed a passion for taking videos with his iPhone. Here I am looking dubious about it. I’m wearing the hat gorgeous blogger Jennine got for me at Tar-Jay. I think it’s a lot better than this chicken hat that I tried on while out on the town with another gorgeous…
Stripes Gone Wild
I want to wear this dress the next time I see stripe-loving blogger Deja Pseu. The Wall Street Journal says stripes are in, and I believe everything I read in the Wall Street Journal … except for the editorial page, of course.
Epic Outfit Post: Electric Lady Gaga Land
I saw Lady Gaga at Radio City Music Hall on Thursday and she kicked so much ass that I’m traumatized … traumatized that I didn’t get tickets for a second night. What was I thinking? I should have known once wasn’t enough! I realized that about Madonna years ago and now I always buy tickets…
Roma-Ro-Ma-Ma! Gaga-Ooh-La-La!
Honest to God, I was a very shy child… …but that was a long time ago, little monsters. More about the Lady Gaga concert soon (that’s my souvenir t-shirt above). Also, thanks to all of you who have posted and tweeted about Janet, as well as everyone who has generously donated and/or purchased a Teeny…
Help a Blogger in Need
I’ve got bad news for you. Blogger Janet of Je Ne Sais Quoi (also known by her blogging identity, iheartfashion) suffered a tragic loss this week when her husband took his own life. He had been unemployed for a period of time. Janet has two children, ages 7 and 9. She needs some financial help….
Minx Manicure #3: J.Lo, Beyonce and WendyB*
I don’t get manicures as often as I should, considering that wearing large rings is a requirement for my business and people are always looking at my hands. I get so bored during manicures that I delay until I realize that broken-off nails of varying lengths are distracting people from the beauty of, for instance,…
The Golden Globes, Diane Kruger and Listerine
My favorite dress at the Golden Globes on Sunday was Diane Kruger’s ombre pink Christian Lacroix. Of course, I’m fond of ombre pink. When I first wore my gown, I excitedly emailed a photo to a friend who snarkily said, “You look beautiful in anything, of course, but that dress is a bit bridesmaid-y.” My…
Put the Blame on Kenneth Jay Lane
In 1986 — when I was an undergraduate at Columbia College and some of you weren’t born — I got the book that made the long-forgotten Edie Sedgwick an icon. It was then called Edie: An American Biography (it has since been retitled Edie: American Girl) and it had been out for a few years,…
