Thanks to Lotsa ‘Splainin’ 2 Do for letting me know that the lolcats peeps at I Can Has Cheez Burger have come up with I Has a Hot Dog for the canine set. The more lol, the better!
Anne Hathaway at the Oscars
I’m getting a lot of hits from people searching for Anne Hathaway at the Oscars in both 2007 and 2008. Here’s Anne in 2007, sporting a ravishing boob bow. Embed from Getty Images Here she is in 2008, looking lovely but sadly bereft of boob bows. Embed from Getty Images Alas!
Oscars 2008: Best Dress and Jewelry
The best outfits on the Oscars were from the archives: Cher’s Bob Mackie extravaganzas and Barbra Streisand’s Arnold Scaasi peekaboo pantsuit. Embed from Getty Images As I’ve said before, I don’t care for the self-appointed fashion police. They persecute anyone who does something a little different, only to cry buckets when people play it safe….
The Perfect Outfit
How did Betty Jackson’s Henry VIII hotpants escape my attention? Photo from Reuters These would go great with my Anne Boleyn necklace.

Oscars 2008*
I’ve seen some real dogs on the red carpet, but this is ridiculous. *I kid, I kid. Don’t waste your time looking for this tutu-wearing French bulldog in People Magazine. This photo is from 2006. Those are my toes (and hem) in the picture, but she’s not my dog. I don’t know who she belonged…
Biba Dress and Matching Leggings
I kind of like this. Maybe it’s just because I have suits on my mind. It’s a suit in a way, isn’t it? It’s available for 81 pounds, down from 162 pounds, on my-wardrobe.com. After all my suit talk, I decided to wear one of my old ones to a semi-serious event I had last…
My New Catchphrase
I don’t like to tease anonymous peeps whose photos turn up online, but I have to make an exception for this woman’s mug shot because Dlisted’s item on her made me laugh out loud. The following sentences are all great: It’s strange, because she has office manager hair, but chola eyebrows. It’s like she’s in…
Going Dotty for Yayoi Kusama
Yayoi Kusama Photo source: Click here I am enthralled by a story on 80-year-old artist Yayoi Kusama in the New York Times Style Magazine. Is Kusama a disturbed outsider artist or a cunning Warholesque manipulator preoccupied with her own fame? Who knows? Either way, I’m in love with her tactile, polka-dotted art. Kusama in the…
A Basic Wardrobe, Part I
Gorgeous blogger K-Line tagged me to answer the question: “What is a basic wardrobe to you?” I put off writing my reply for a couple of days because I’m (a) a big procrastinator and (b) unhappy with my basic wardrobe. I am in mourning for my old wardrobe. Since I left the corporate world in…
Be Mused
Every great designer needs a muse. Alexander McQueen had Isabella Blow. John Galliano had Amanda Harlech. Yves Saint Laurent had Betty Catroux. Moira McLaughlin has me. Yes, I inspired Moira’s “I Eat Your Milkbone” dog t-shirt. This isn’t the first time I’ve be-mused one of Moira’s clan. Her sister Sheila helped me out during my…
