My gorgeous rapper friend Gangsta Boo finished up her tour with her group, Da Mafia 6ix, and came back to town to promote “Bitchy,” her new collaboration with other fabulous wimmin rappers La Chat and Mia X. She’s been spending a lot of quality time at hip-hop SiriusXM channel Shade 45, and I’ve been dressing…
Throwback Thursday: That Yigal Azrouël on Law & Order
In 2010, I caught a Law & Order rerun in which an actress was wearing the short version of a long Yigal Azrouël dress I own. This week, the episode came around again! Unfortunately, I missed the one chance to get a full-length photo of the dress, but you can see the top of it…
This Week’s Posts
I wrote two long blog posts this week already, so I won’t do another today. In case you missed the Monday and Tuesday posts, here they are: The true tale of how I annoyed Gloria Steinem but found comfort among Miley Cyrus’s screaming teenage fans. Memories of Kurt Cobain, 20 years later, and musings on…
Gone Too Soon: Kurt Cobain and Peaches Geldof
Twenty years ago today — April 8, 1994 — the body of 27-year-old Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain was discovered in the greenhouse of his Seattle home. He had killed himself with a shotgun on April 5. April 8 was a Friday. I was working at the Wall Street Journal at the time, and my work…
From Gloria Steinem to Miley Cyrus in One Day
It wasn’t on my bucket list but, in hindsight, it feels like it should have been: “I want to irk Gloria Steinem and cheer Miley Cyrus in one day!” Imagine telling someone that! I’m sure the response would be “Not a chance.” Despite the odds, on Saturday, I managed to achieve both of these things….

Since Letterman announced his…
Just David Letterman, Retiring.
I’m very sad about David Letterman retiring! Even when it comes to television hosts, I’m like Stewie on Family Guy. Dave was so different and shocking when he first got on the air. The parents kept watching Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show and the kids all switched to Letterman. People forget how revolutionary Letterman…
Throwback Thursday: Wearing Vintage in Dublin in 1997
I recently dug up this photo of me in Dublin in September or October 1997. I’m wearing a vintage Lillie Rubin coat that I got at Allan & Suzi on the Upper West Side. Check out the red-jacket-wearing photobomber in this one, staring at me as if he’d never seen a woman in a great…
Jewel of the Month: Bull and Bullfighter “Maneater” Ring
According to the zodiac calendar, Taurus birthdays begin on April 20, making this the perfect month for the official blog debut of my Bull and Bullfighter Maneater ring. Actress Leven Rambin already tweeted a photo of the ring from Elton John’s Oscar party last month. Leven had borrowed it from gorgeous singer/songwriter Skylar Grey, who…
No Fooling! I Have Emoji Rings Now.
In the beginning, there were emoji earrings … and earrings that should be emojis. Then there were customers who didn’t have pierced ears and needed their emojis in necklace form. Now, thanks to a request from gorgeous customer Cara, there are emoji rings. Cara asked for two: the peace sign … … and the ever-popular…
