You know when someone is talking nonsense to you and it would be way too rude to say, “So what?” so you say, “Annnnndddd?” instead? Obviously, it isn’t that much better than “So what?” So bite your tongue and let your lobe(s) do the bitching with my single ampersand earring in sterling silver. I gave…
A Lesson in Layering Jewelry From Lori
Check out my gorgeous client Lori Kadezabek wearing all her sterling-silver Wendy Brandes necklaces at once. From the top down, she’s got my teeny Genie, my vampire stake and my Isabella wolf-fang.

Wigging Out With Keith Carpenter
As I’ve said before, my hair guru, Keith Carpenter, has been cutting my hair since the early ’90s. We’ve done everything from pixies … … to perms … … to mullets together. Tonight, Keith decided we’d go through everything at once, so he got out his wigs. He’d chopped up some of the shorter ones…

Happy Chinese New Year! Celebrate With a Snake.
It’s the Chinese New Year today — welcome to the Year of the Snake, like it or not! Alas, a lot of people don’t like it very much, according to Friday’s Wall Street Journal. The Snake is seen as less auspicious than the Year of the Dragon that just ended. And there’s another problem when…

Wimmin-Haters and the Grammy Dress Code
I spent some time poking around teh Internets yesterday, looking for someone to confirm the authenticity of a wimmin-hating dress-code email sent out by CBS’s official prudes ahead of Sunday’s Grammy telecast. Did you see this? It was first reported by Nikki Finke at Deadline Hollywood on Wednesday. A source leaked the memo to her,…
Happy 10th Anniversary, Gigi!
Ten years ago today, an 18-month-old Gigi the dog joined our household. Her backstory is literally kind of shitty so if you’re averse to scatological topics, skip this post. I found Gigi on Petfinder when I was looking for a young companion for my elderly Pekingese, Mr. Chubbs. She was advertised as a Pekingese, despite…
