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. Then click here and here. After a busy Saturday spent sightseeing and hog-nogging with an Oscar nominee, Fernando and I were…

Speaking of Shelly Duvall*
I loved the hairstyle on the woman towards the center of this photo. Seen on Fifth Avenue earlier this week. It reminded me of Shelly Duvall’s Olive Oyl hairstyle in Popeye. If you want to look like Shelly/Olive but don’t have the hair for it, you can buy some of Shelly’s movie costumes here. Olive…
iHog Gets a Haircut (Vicariously)
Fernando came with me to see hairstylist-to-the-stars Keith Carpenter. Having a pig around made us silly. Voila! An even shaggier ‘do. Does it remind you of Shelly Duvall‘s? Just a bit?

I wore this to a dinner for the Overseas Press Club Awards last night, where I had the pleasure of bumping into glamorous author Tracy Quan. Tracy and her friend Keith. MrB gave the keynote speech with Fernando…
