British poet Lord Byron (1788–1824) was famously described by one lover, Lady Caroline Lamb, as “mad, bad, and dangerous to know.” Do you think that phrase just rolled off her tongue in a “Eureka!” moment? Or did she secretly test out several options before hitting the Bartlett’s jackpot? From the desk of Lady Caroline Lamb…
Fashion
Obsessed
This “artist’s jacket” by Karim Bonnet for Impasse de la Defense would be mine… … except it’s probably too similar to my painted jacket by Steve J & Yoni P. Right? If you want to get the artist’s jacket so I can live vicariously through you, it’s available at ShopCurious for £110.00.

Sunday Styles Strikes Again
You’d think that after this recent post, I would have stopped reading the non-fashion articles in the Sunday Styles section of the New York Times. I know I should avoid exposure to quotes from incredibly annoying people, but I still couldn’t resist last Sunday’s section. The latest irksome article, about abandoned blogs, was called Blogs…
This Post Is Not for the Sensitive
Last week, I went to see “Whole in the Wall,” an exhibit of graffiti art at the Helenbeck Gallery, accompanied by my designing friend, Christian Francis Roth, and my gorgeous, non-designer friend, Maggie Kneip.

When I first glimpsed this studded Balmain tank top in Bergdorf Goodman, I thought it had a menorah on it. Furtive cell phone photo Now I can’t get this Adam Sandler song out of my head. That song is really very educational. I like that David Lee Roth is first on Sandler’s list of menorah-lighting…
