MrB is the chairman of the most amazing organization called the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ). You have to click that link and do some reading, because I can’t begin to describe what people in other countries go through to tell the truth. It really offends me when U.S. citizens whine about how they’re suffering…

Adding to My Art Collection
Gorgeous blogger ENC has created some new dress-based art for me. In case you don’t know the back story, it is as follows: I found an Alexander McQueen dress on eBay that looked like modern art; then Jill put me and the dress into some art; and then Danielle made another contribution. And here are…
Happy Very Belated Birthday to Me
When I turned 40 last December, my gorgeous mother, BarbaraB, told me she wanted to take me shopping for a special birthday present. I couldn’t take the pressure of picking out my own gift for such a momentous occasion. I felt it had to be something amazing that I would never buy for myself. Tricky!…
Marcel Ostertag
Thanks to kink-tastic blogger Asudem Latex of Doll’s Realm for pointing out the work of Munich-based designer Marcel Ostertag. Asudem had written about this designer before but this time the photos really grabbed me: shiny fabric, ruffles and leopard print … and shiny leopard print! What more could I ask for? Well, I suppose I…
Vintage YSL on eBay
Love this suit with a brocade jacket and harem pants!
Curious
I’m wondering if the Lancome red lipstick/black gloss combo I mentioned and pre-ordered in August will ever arrive — since it is supposedly in Bloomies now — or if it will be a fashion phantom like the Christian Louboutin booties that surprised me by appearing after six months. I’m also wondering why the lipstick’s name…
I Spy With My Little Eye…
Fringe sunglasses? Cool! Beyonce wore these while shooting a video. Photo from JustJared UPDATED TO ADD: I love Dlisted’s comment: “All the bitch needs is Kanye’s horizontal blinds sunglasses and she’d have a fucking complete window treatment.” UPDATED AGAIN TO ADD: Susie Bubble knows all! She thinks the sunglasses are by Bless and judging from…
Three Textures, New Ring
You can’t see much in this picture [glaring at photographer], so you’ll just have to believe me when I tell you that I’m wearing three textures of black in this photograph from Friday night. If you click on the photo, you can enlarge it a tad. Dolce & Gabbana jacket (previously seen here)Velvet Zang Toi…
Shoe Hopes Dashed
I was excited to get the much-criticized YSL Trooper Pumps when I saw they were on sale. But then I saw they were in whole sizes only. WTF? I’m usually a 36.5, so a 36 or a 37 just won’t do. This was a problem for me when I finally found my dream Doc Martens…
Trunk Show Thanks
Thank you to all my gorgeous customers and helpers* who made last night’s trunk show at Pink Elephant so wonderful. No thanks to T-Bags, the makers of a dress that I wore because I liked the colors, not realizing it made me look 10 months pregnant. I thought I only looked six months pregnant in…
