It took me a while, but I’ve scanned the OK! Magazine cover as promised. Click the photo to enlarge and you’ll see that my Borgia ring is taking part in a topless, Sapphic pool romp via Britney Spears’s right hand (and boob). Scan of OK! Magazine cover Here’s the closeup: In case you don’t recall,…

So FASH’on Is So Nice
Diana, the DIY queen of So FASH’on, passed along this cool badge to me. Now I get to pass it along to five other bloggers. So here you go, ladies! In Yr Fshn, because she’s the future accessories editor of Vogue and I must curry favor while I can. Modern Marie, because I can never…
Ahead of My Time, Once Again
Ben Widdicombe of the New York Daily News has chimed in on Hogan’s misguided Chrissie Hynde tribute FOUR DAYS after I wrote about it! Better late than never, I guess! Just to refresh your memory, Hogan named a ponyskin bag after Hynde, who is an ardent PETA activist. By the way, I emailed Hogan on…
No Good Fish Goes Anywhere Without a Porpoise
Fasshonaburu brought this fishy Tory Burch skirt to my attention. And here we have a fish watch. Great Gear News posted about this fishy design. But alas, I am still unable to procure my life’s true desire: fish feet. As God is my witness, I shall not rest till I have little carp teeth encircling…
Penelope Tree
This Gap ad featuring Sarah Silverman (above, via JustJared) reminds me of hip ’60s model Penelope Tree. CLICK FOR PHOTOS OF PENELOPE TREE. Penelope had a distinguished family. Her mother, Marietta Peabody Tree, was the first woman delegate to the United Nations. Her father, Ronald, was a member of Parliament and a grandson of U.S….
Chanel Bag
If someone were to insist on buying me a luxurious bag right this second, I think I would choose this vintage Chanel: Chanel bag from Vintage Couture I like the boxy shape and the fringe, which reminds me of a cute little beard. Like the beard on a schnauzer, and I mean that in a…
It’s a Beatles-ful Day in the Neighborhood
Forty years ago today, Beatles manager Brian Epstein died of a drug overdose. There would have been no Beatlemania without Brian. He did everything from booking their first big gigs (including the Ed Sullivan show) to designing the matching suits and instituting the coordinated bow. This Washington Post story (site requires registration) claims “everyone” has…
Star Sighting
My dog walker met actress Leslie Caron of “Gigi” fame in my apartment building last week. He told her that he and his roommate had cleared their calendars to watch her recent Law & Order episode and she said, “I can’t believe I’m almost 80 and still have a fan base!” I’m so disappointed that…
Hogan’s Misguided Chrissie Hynde Tribute
I enjoyed reading the New York Times Style Magazine today, especially the unintentionally hilarious item about Hogan’s limited-edition Guitar bags named for various music icons. The ponyskin Chrissie — which the Times says is a tribute to Chrissie Hynde — looks gorgeous. Too bad the formerly leather-pants-wearing Hynde is now a PETA activist! For those…
Great Minds Think Alike…About Ossie Clark
Ossie Clark was the fashion king of ’60s and ’70s London, dressing Twiggy, Bianca and Mick Jagger, Marianne Faithful, Talitha Getty and Patti Boyd, to name just a few of the Beautiful People. I love his floaty chiffon and moss crepe dresses with ’30s references, plunging necklines and sashes that tie under the bust. Above,…
