My Best Dressed at the 2019 Met Gala Is …
I’ve had an eagle eye on the attendees of tonight’s Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Só Observando GIF from Robertdeniro GIFs As I wrote earlier, I wasn’t convinced that the celebrity guests were going to live up to the theme of the exhibition the Met Gala is promoting, which is “Camp:…
Met Gala 2019: Preview From Bitter, Party of One
The Met Gala — the informal name for the Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art — takes place tonight and, as always, I am bitter about not being an invitee. Not because I want to rub elbows with celebrities and billionaires, but because I LOVE theme dressing and I LOVE to shop…
Still Life With Fibroids
I was MIA on the blog this week because I was recovering from a minimally invasive embolization procedure to treat fibroids. For those who don’t know, fibroids are benign tumors of the uterus.

Going Wide With Frame Jeans and Diane Keaton
I need to do a YouTube video about my whole history with jeans. I’ve realized that since my teenage years, I’ve always been searching for a style that’s not readily available.

Foot Fetish: 1980s Booties and Boot Styles
There hasn’t been a shoe that’s interested me in quite a while, but this Dior caught my eye because it reminds me of a Peter Fox style I had in the 1980s. You can just barely make out those Peter Fox shoes against my crazy striped tights in this poorly lit photo from 1986. Madonna…
Rainy-Day Fashion for Dogs and Wimmins
We’ve had heavy rain in New York today. Thunder-phobic Edward the dog was dressed for the occasion in a ThunderShirt that provided both comfort and camouflage … … until the storm unnerved him so badly that he peed on his little outfit. Meanwhile, I’m completely unprepared because I’ve never gone to a thousand-umbrella fashion show….
#NOPE of the Day: Bad Jewelry-Biz Tweets
I swear that I spent a good part of yesterday frozen in the cringe position. View this post on Instagram LMAO!!! This is how you know you’ve been on a controversial industry panel.

Wednesday’s Video: Stephen Burrows Toga Party
When it comes to fashion, I’m much more likely to suffer from non-buyer’s remorse than buyer’s remorse. But there’s an exception to every rule. Behold, the gold toga (?!) by Stephen Burrows. For more about this very important designer whose piece did me a bamboozle, check out: His bio at BlackPast.org. His 2014 interview with…
