Old Shooz and Final L.A. Photos
While I was agonizing over what to do with my nu shooz from L.A. (see the second update at the end of this post), I was reminded that I’ve been meaning to share a photo of a favorite pair of old shooz. These Patrick Cox shoes were my first pair of wedges. I think I…
Nothing to See Here, Heather. Move Along.
Jack Nicholson had a great line in the movie As Good As It Gets: “Sell crazy someplace else, we’re all stocked up here.” That was my reaction to reading that professional psychopath Heather Mills is looking for real estate in New York.

Nu Shooz
Yesterday, I was annoyed by an anti-flower-feet article in the New York Observer. The article, which is heavy on sarcasm but short on funny, also slammed chunky platform wedges, peep-toe booties and — worst of all — gladiator sandals! The Emperor agrees with me. “Wendy, it vexes me. I’m terribly vexed by this article.” Not…

I’m So Proud of My Girl
I was thrilled to bits to see that my girl Patti LuPone is getting rave reviews for her portrayal of Mama Rose in the Broadway revival of Gypsy. Some critics are going so far as to say that this is the best Gypsy ever. Ooh, the people on the Bernadette Peters fan forum are going…
