Who killed Laura Palmer? In 1990, I was totally obsessed with David Lynch’s show Twin Peaks. Set in the eerie fictional town of Twin Peaks, Wash., it starred Kyle MacLachlan, who might be more familiar to you youngsters as Trey on Sex and the City and Orson on Desperate Housewives. He played Dale Cooper, an…

The Footwear Creeps in on Little Mouse Feet
Fasshonburu pointed out these mouse shoes by the late Marc Jacobs (he’s not really dead, just late, so please stop crying). I asked myself, “Self, would mouse feet make you happy?” But upon serious reflection, I realized that only fish feet will do. Alas. “Jaws Platform Pumps” aren’t going to appease me either. Fish or…
Amusing Gift Ideas From Noted Co.
Noted Co. wholesales fun little things to museums, gift shops and snazzy toy stores. I was very taken by the Japanese papercraft kits. All of the pieces have moving parts, which I love, but the darkly humorous names are even better. The fish and carving knife piece pictured is called “Doomed.” Click here to find…
Fish Feet. I Want Them.
Christian Louboutin still hasn’t sent me these delightful shoes despite my helpful hints on this blog. Now Shoewawa tortures me with this post. Bad Shoewawa! How could anyone fail to see how perfect my life would be if only I had fish feet? My previous fishy posts: August 23 August 29
Blogs Are Getting So Much Respect…

The Late Marc Jacobs
Run, tiny Marc Jacobs, run! The angry villagers are coming with their torches and pitchforks! Yes, that’s him on the left. Last week, I was too outraged by Marc Jacobs’s outrage at our outrage to post about it. Confused? The Marc Jacobs show last Monday started two hours late. Word had gotten out that the…
Edie Falco Wins Best Emmy Hair … IMHO
Didn’t Edie Falco look great last night? My very own personal hair guru, Keith Carpenter, did her hair. Good job, Keith! And of course I think Edie should have won because I am a huge Sopranos fan. Embed from Getty Images
Just What Teh Interweb Needs … More Tits!
My gorgeous stepdaughter showed me the very funny Indietits site this weekend. Get your mind out of the gutter! They’re birds. Well, I admit they are very dirty birds. Dirty hipster birds. The archives don’t seem to be working on the site, but if you click on the links for the RSS or LiveJournal feeds,…
"Nothing"
For those of you who are too young to have seen Brooke Shields in the 1980 Calvin Klein TV ad that caused a scandal, here it is. UPDATED TO ADD: How thrilled am I that the Manolo enjoyed this too! The Manolo’s shoe blog was the first fashion blog I ever read. I am delighted…
Great Minds Think Alike … About ’80s Sunglasses
In case you didn’t believe that Kanye West’s Venetian-blind sunglasses are based on an ’80s design, I present a blurry screen cap from Animotion’s amazing 1985 video for “Obsession.” I’m not sure what kind of drugs everyone was on when this video was shot. To see the whole video, click hereGlasses appear at about 2:50….
