When this Dolce & Gabbana ad came out last year, I had the same thought that a lot of people had: “Oh, my! Is that very tan, very blonde lady fashion designer Donatella Versace?” Click to enlarge My next thought was, “It wouldn’t make much sense for Donatella to be in another designer’s ad. After…
Better to Have Loved and Lost
Why didn’t you bitches tell me that my 60-year-old, African-American identical twin was on Jimmy Kimmel Live? I would have skipped a Law & Order rerun or ten to check out security guard Veatrice Rice, whom I discovered only after she died of cancer. Someday, I hope to be remembered as Jimmy remembers Veatrice while…

Jack and Rack
A great thing about coming in third in the 2008 Weblog Award’s Best Fashion Blog category is that I didn’t have to fulfill my promise to celebrate a first-place finish with one-armed push-ups a la 73-year-old Jack Palance on Oscar night.
