He sees you when you’re sleeping. He knows when you’re awake. He knows when you’ve been bad or good … … so be good for goodness sake, because Santa Claws looks like one angry S.O.B.!
“We Gonna Party Like It’s Your Birthday”
I’m going to be drowning my sorrows in Champagne tonight because it is, indeed, my birthday. As I’ve previously noted, I don’t think birthdays are that much fun anymore, even though they’re better than the alternative.

November Concert Catch-Up: Kanye West and Jonathan Richman

Throwback Thursday: Facebook Before Zuckerberg
Once upon a time, a “facebook” was an actual book that published photos of incoming university students. (That’s where the name for the social-media behemoth that is Facebook came from.) While cleaning out my childhood home, as they’ve been doing, my parents found this Columbia University facebook from 1987. I had this because I worked…

Recommended Reading: Newspaper Series
Some days it is challenging to read the newspaper around here … … but I usually prevail after scooping up FitzRoy and depositing him in another room. Those of you with more recalcitrant cats can catch up with the good stuff online. For instance, last week, the Wall Street Journal ran an interesting series called “The…

What Wendy Will Wear: Zang Toi’s Fall 2014 Show
Whenever my designing friend Zang Toi and I do a sale together, we end up buying each others’ wares. Yesterday, Zang bought my heart and bunny stud earrings for the ladies in his office. I tried on a jacket that I’d admired during the runway show for Zang’s Spring 2013 Bouquet D’Amour collection. It’s pinstriped…
