Gorgeous bloggers LJ and Fiona from SOS! Save Our Shoes were in town and I was lucky enough to meet them briefly. They were so charming! They were also good sports and willingly posed for the quintessential New York photo complete with oozing garbage bags and a subway sign. Thanks, ladies! Meanwhile, don’t forget to…
You’re Not Seeing Things
Since I launched the redesigned blog, I’ve been using a word-verification program that allows me to enter my own words. When you see things like “bikini” or “WendyB” — yes, I picked them.

Things That Annoyed Me Today
In my profile on the right, I say that in addition to other topics, I write about things that annoy me. Here are the things that annoyed me today: People who are shocked — shocked! — by Farrah Fawcett’s death. What? She was diagnosed with cancer in 2006 and was clearly terminal in recent months….
