I want to get more emails like the one I recently got from gorgeous client Melissa. She was so enthused about the leopard-spotted Patrick Kelly dress I posted about that she sniped it from eBay. Here’s Melissa showing off her new acquisition and looking mighty fierce. Melissa Leopard is lucky for me. Previously, I inspired…
It’s Like Deja Pseu All Over Again
On Sunday, I had the great pleasure of dining with gorgeous blogger Deja Pseu and her handsome husband Mr. Pseu. As you may recall, DP is the super-generous winner of the NieNie fundraising auction, and I was thrilled to be able to present her with her blue topaz earrings and specially engraved Diana necklace in…

Who Ya Gonna Call?
This video reminds me of the Ghostbusters line: “Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria!” Except this time there’s a side of Chicken McNuggets.

Vintage Moschino Picks of the Day
I like to keep an eye out for fun Moschino pieces on eBay. Check out this “emoticon” jacket. The same seller has a Moschino jacket with heart buttons that would be great for Valentine’s day…and other days too. If you bid on eBay, don’t forget to snipe! If you prefer the “buy it now” option,…

Where Are You Now, Gold Bugs?
Continuing my thoughts from a week ago…. Gold is down below $800 an ounce (yay!) and headed for a big weekly loss. Naturally, I haven’t heard from any would-be gold investors today, because THIS would be the time to buy gold. I only hear from them when gold is at a high. Speaking of investing,…
