Almost Perfect
Wouldn’t this photo be perfectly fashionable if only it had Fernando von Bakonstein in it? Marc Jacobs and Rachel Zoe, photographed by Altamira UPDATED TO ADD: Yay for Altamira AKA Craig! His photos were picked up on Oh No They Didn’t. By the way, I think these are some of the best-ever photos of Rachel.
Fairy Feet and Other Photos
As I walked by the Prada store today I noticed some interesting shoes in the window. Fairy feet! I hope the dye doesn’t bleed like it does on the Fairy Bag or people will be very unhappy. Elsewhere today, I saw these flowers in a window box. Spring has sprung And gorgeous blogger/client Alice Olive…

Living High on the iHog … in Latex
It has belatedly occurred to me that not everyone understands what the iHog (aka Fernando von Bakonstein) is about. You people should be ashamed of yourselves. DON’T YOU KNOW WHO HE IS?!? No? Oh. Then click here and here. After a busy Saturday spent sightseeing and hog-nogging with an Oscar nominee, Fernando and I were…

If you want to look like Shelly/Olive but don’t have the hair for it, you can buy some of Shelly’s movie costumes here. Olive…
The Blair Pig Project and the BBD
Instead of flying back to New York from Paris on Monday, we stopped in Washington, DC, for the annual dinner of the Atlantic Council. Fernando was hoping to see a monument or two, but sightseeing was canceled after Air France temporarily misplaced the luggage, leading to all sorts of logistical problems.We still made it to…
Back in New York
I swear to God, this is a picture of Fernando von Bakonstein (pinkish blotch in foreground) and Lauren Bacall (blurry lady in background) at a dinner for the Tribeca Film Festival. I don’t know when I’ve ever seen so many famous people in one place! In addition to Bacall, I ogled Jerry Seinfeld, Larry David,…
Hello, Lovahs
The helpful and kinktastic Asudem Latex of Doll’s Realm has fed my latex love with a link to a site (NSFW) filled with the real thing — none of that fake American Apparel stuff for Asudem, thank you very much! She particularly wanted to point out the classic tights, now on sale, but I’ve become…
