As I walked by the Prada store today I noticed some interesting shoes in the window. Fairy feet! I hope the dye doesn’t bleed like it does on the Fairy Bag or people will be very unhappy. Elsewhere today, I saw these flowers in a window box. Spring has sprung And gorgeous blogger/client Alice Olive…
Snipe, Dammit!
My peeps, some of you are driving me crazy with your complaints about losing eBay auctions at “the last second.” If you are serious about winning anything, you must snipe. A snipe is an automated, last-second bid. The people who are beating you out are most likely using sniping services (which eBay finds perfectly “legal”)….

Quirking Hard or Hardly Quirking?
I’ve been tagged by Dress Forms Pins and Needles and Everybody Says Don’t to reveal six unspectacular quirks. There’s a bunch of rules for doing this; pretend I just shared them. Here are the quirks.

Going to Hell?
If so, you’ll probably meet the financial office employees from M.D. Anderson Cancer Center there. They’ll be the ones charging you a fortune to enter the flames. Once you get in the door, you’ll meet the Blogger folks who decided that captchas needed to be totally illegible. I can barely read any of the captchas…

Living High on the iHog … in Latex
It has belatedly occurred to me that not everyone understands what the iHog (aka Fernando von Bakonstein) is about. You people should be ashamed of yourselves. DON’T YOU KNOW WHO HE IS?!? No? Oh.

Bizarre Newspaper Error of the Day
The Washington Post (registration required) intrigued me with a brief profile of stylish photographer Zaida Ben-Yusuf, whose work is being shown at the National Portrait Gallery. The profile said she lived from 1869 to 1909 and emphasized that she died at the startlingly young age of 40. I went to the National Portrait Gallery’s site…
