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…
You Know You Want Me
It’s like Chicago here — you get to vote early and often for moi. 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…
It’s All About Me
Two wise women have followed my command to kneel before Wendy Brandes and have respectfully offered their written tributes. Gorgeous blogger Sheila of Ephemera has recognized my triumphs in the Drysdale Award categories for big ego and bad language, naming me The Most Foul-Mouthed Self-Promoting Funny Woman Ever. Kathy “Knock the Dicks Out of Your…
New Year’s Outfits
For my traditional New Year’s Eve/birthday combination celebration last night, I wore a Clovis Ruffin dress from Shrimpton Couture, my faux-ny tail and earrings of my own design. Gigi the dog wore her own fur coat, accessorized with a giant tongue and a bitchy attitude. UPDATED TO ADD: I’m wearing also the Lagerfeld shoes I…
I’m Only Anti-Work
Reading gorgeous blogger Miss Karen’s I’m Not Anti-Social, Just Short-Sighted blog has caused the Officer Krupke song from West Side Story to become permanently lodged in my head. I sing it to myself every time I read her blog. A clip from the movie version of West Side StoryMiss Karen’s line comes at 4:35 Damn…
Say My Name, Say My Name
When I was a kid, “personalized” shizz was really popular. Personalized keychains, personalized bookmarks, personalized license plates for your bike, personalized shoelaces for your sneakers. It wasn’t personally personalized just for you, of course. You bought the stuff ready-made in the drugstore or Caldor or another place like that. I was always very hurt when…
Hotness
When I had a fever the other night, I was inspired to search for a video of the late, great Peggy Lee singing Fever. I love her facial expressions and overall ‘tude.
