WWD is reporting that eLuxury.com is shutting down the retail part of the site over the next six months and will continue as an online magazine. Oh noes! I love that site. The spokeswoman at LVMH, which owns eLuxury, apparently took a hit off her bong and, while exhaling, claimed that the closure is “not…

I’m a Pretty Girl (So Vote for Me)
My gorgeous mother, BarbaraB, took me to see Patti Lupone in the musical Gypsy this week. I’d seen the play last March, but after a ceiling vent fell on an audience member, I couldn’t really focus on Patti’s big finale. I wanted to experience an accident-free performance before the play closes on January 11. I…
I Am the Fashion Blogger of the People
The late Tip O’Neill, a longtime Speaker of the House, once said, “All politics is local.” And I am the local representative for all you bloggers and lurkers in this small corner of the blogosphere. I come here every day, including weekends, and do my very best to make you laugh soda out your nose…
Great Minds Think Alike … About Stripes
Rewind! I meant to do a “great minds think alike” post about the vintage Clovis Ruffin dress I wore on New Year’s. The stripes are on the diagonal and so am I! Clearly Gwen Stefani agrees that black-and-white-striped, one-shoulder dresses never go out of style. Embed from Getty Images Gwen wore her dress first, but…

My peeps, you must make buttons and bumper stickers and signs and get the vote out for me for Best Fashion Blog. Why am I the best? Because I represent hope! Just look at my motto: “Wear What You Want.” It’s positive, not negative. I wrote about the meaning of my motto last January: I…

After sweeping the big ego and cussin’ categories in the prestigious Drysdale Awards thanks to you gorgeous bitches, I am now a finalist in the Best Fashion Blog category for the 2008 Weblog Awards*. My competition is tough and it includes…
Too Much Is Never Enough
Thanks to gorgeous blogger LJ from SOS! Save Our Shoes for pointing out this bit of fabulousness from New York Couture. Shiny leggings…WITH BOWS! Two obsessions for the price of one.
Having a Wank
I took guitar lessons for eight years. I didn’t become proficient because I never practiced. I would get out my candy-apple red Fender Strat exactly once a week when I trudged the ten blocks to see Ed, my good-natured guitar teacher. I kept this up until I left the corporate world and started working for…
Going Back to Cali
This is what I wore when I went out with the gorgeous bloggers of L.A. last month: head-to-ankle black. Kate Moss for Topshop fringed jacket. My only Topshop acquisition ever. Only my Hogan shoes broke up the black. I found these shoes marked way down but almost didn’t get them. Luckily, MrB insisted because I’ve…
