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…
There’s Something About Eve
For some reason, ’90s model Eve Salvail is on my mind. She was famous for her shaved head and the dragon tattoo on her scalp. Photo from evesalvail.com Here she is with Karl Lagerfeld, back in the days when he used to eat. Photo from evesalvail.com Jean Paul Gaultier used her a lot. Below, Eve…
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…

Models and White Powder

(Select “shows” and then mouse over the images for his name. Unfortunately it doesn’t have the rockin’ music he really used.) Check out the fake snow sprinkled around the…
Post #400: A New Handbag Has Arrived
I wouldn’t let Henry get close to this new Prada bag because I am dithering about whether to keep it. What to do …. what to do …. “Why do I have to pose with handbags anyway?” Previously, he was allowed to hang out with a Vuitton. “Stephen Sprouse was so genius.” And he got…
Bows, and People Who Don’t Love Bows
Designers are finally taking my bow declaration to heart. Bows abound. (Nice work, Gwyneth.) Unfortunately they seem to be in the wrong place. Get those bows away from the neck and back on the butt where they belong! And since some people have asked, of course I loved Sandra Oh’s lambasted-till-someone-got-educated SAG award gown! Embed…
