I got a kick out of the seller’s description of this sweater on eBay. “I’m not even sure where to begin the description of this sweater. It’s a nubby off-white acrylic knit, and was apparently made for either a Yeti, or a knuckle-dragging caveman. The sleeves hang way down past the bottom of the sweater….
If Wishes Were Horses, Beggars Would Ride
I wish I could un-read the story Miranda Purves wrote about her vagina for the June 2008 issue of Elle. I especially wish I could un-read this sentence: “His hand crept between my legs and he poked in a tentative finger.” You see, Miranda is feline a bit stretched-out. But some men appreciate a big…
Attention NYC-Area Duran Duran Fans!
I’ve got two tickets to see Duran Duran in Central Park on May 31. I can’t use them. You blog roll bitches should use the comments to tell me how much you like Duran Duran and why. The person who writes the comment that pleases/amuses/moves me most gets the tickets for free.* You have 24…
The Pig Has Landed
Fernando von Bakonstein has safely returned to his Illinois home. Don’t forget to stay tuned to the International House of Blogcakes for future iHog adventures. To reminisce about the pig’s visit with me, click here. Here’s one last iHog photo. Someone came to my blog by searching for “jewelry-sniffing dog.” I was sure they really…
Not Fairy Likely to Find Prada on Bluefly
For a few days, I’ve been obsessed with finding the Prada Fairy Bag on Bluefly.

I emailed Bluefly to inquire about the situation, and received this reply: Thank…

Quirking Along
I’ve previously done the “six unspectacular quirks” tag, but since gorgeous bloggers Fasshonaburu and Pretty in Black have both tagged me, I’m doing it again. Please note that I will beat a bitch’s ass if anyone else tries to tag me with this. I’m supposed to put the rules here, but I’m not going to….

Latex-Look Top by Balenciaga
This Balenciaga top is on sale on Yoox this weekend. The sale price is $605. If that’s a lot of money to you, I’d say the better investment is a WendyB Lotus Necklace. If $605 is nothing to you, you should buy the top AND a Lotus Necklace. Question of the day: Who’s pervier? The…
Great Minds Think Alike About … Boots
Here’s a photo taken in London by Face Hunter this week: And here’s a photo taken by me in Paris last month: Now I want to know who makes these boots! UPDATED TO ADD: It’s not the same person. Check out my original post. For the record, I heart these boots. They looked clownish to…
