DrB, Jim Morrison and the Rest of the Week in Review
MrB became DrB this week. As a result, I’ve got these Eminem lyrics stuck in my head: “And Dr. Dre said… nothing you idiots! Dr. Dre’s dead, he’s locked in my basement.” Here’s the blog week in review: Sunday: All of Stefon’s SNL skits. This post has EVERYTHING. Monday: Rihanna goes after Topshop and I’m…
Stefon’s Farewell to SNL, Plus the Week in Review
I don’t watch Saturday Night Live often, but if I’m around, I try to catch the “Weekend Update” segment.

Hader played Stefon,…
Happy Mother’s Day, BarbaraB! And Week in Review

There was some enlightening reading in the New York Times this weekend. If you missed it, check out the cover story of the New York Times Magazine: “Our Feel-Good War on Breast Cancer,” by Peggy Orenstein, about how “awareness” (including mammograms and all kinds of pink shit sold in October) hasn’t decreased breast-cancer deaths. I’ve…

If you’d like to donate some money to help the victims of the marathon bombing, here are two lists (with some overlap): Wicked Local Mashable Here’s what was on the blog this week: Monday: My safari adventures and, from later…
Week in Review: South Africa and Style.com
Two big things happened this week: I went to South Africa and Style.com wrote about my emoji stud earrings. Read all about it by reviewing this week’s blog posts. Monday: I wore an animal print in South Africa, just like some of the locals. Tuesday: Back at home, FitzRoy the cat acted out a scene…
The Week in Review: Express Yourself
This week, most of my blog posts offered suggestions for how to express yourself stylistically. Monday: You could go the club-kid route and wear these ridiculous Jeffrey Campbell shoes (but I know you won’t). Tuesday: My new emoji stud earrings are clearly a better choice than rainbow platform shoes. Wednesday: Like my emoji designs but…

My new sales item is my adorable pomegranate peace-sign necklace in silver and garnet. Check it out … the pendant really is a pomegranate AND a peace sign! Two great things for the price of one. You’re going to be impressed by how solid this piece is. People are always surprised by the heft because…
