Starting Oct. 5, the coveted Kova & T leggings will be available from Sway & Cake. Sway & Cake describes them as having a “latex-like finish,” while Intuition’s site simply calls them “latex.” Hmm. Well, all I really care about is that they’re black and shiny. Can’t get enough latex? Parallel Entity found shiny leggings…
Holy Vintage, Batman!
Want to be a caped crusader like Susie Bubble? FashionDig has a few good-looking vintage capes. This elegant fringed cape is $65. The cute blue one ($45) was made for upscale department store Bonwit Teller. More fringe. This one is $150. Strange. It is from the same store and looks identical to the one in…
The Ones That Got Away
It seems fish feet are everywhere, yet I cannot procure the fish feet of my dreams. The Manolo discovered these fish flip-flops (fish-flops?) via Unknown Highway. Maybe they’d be better as high-heel fish-flops My search for the Christian Louboutin fish shoes continues. Behind Big Glasses is trying to divert me with elephant feet. Nice try,…
Killer Comedy, Coat and Queen
Recently, I was lucky enough to catch part of 9 to 5 on TV. You must see this kick-ass feminist comedy about three assistants (Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, and Dolly Parton) who take revenge on their chauvinist boss (Dabney Coleman). Dolly looks unbelievable in her clingy knit dresses and baby blue trench coat. I was…
Consolation Prize
My obsession: the beauteous Christian Louboutin Pesce shoes. During my never-ending quest for fish feet, I found a young-adult book about a boy who wants to be a ballet dancer. I also found a female science blogger (you go, girl!). But alas, no fish shoes in my size. My gorgeous sister, Terri Berry, came up…

Don’t Get Taken to the Cleaners
Most gold jewelry can be easily cleaned at home with a soft toothbrush and warm soapy water. Or, if you are lazy like me, there are solutions that you can purchase. Never use harsh detergents or bleach. You can gently rub the piece with a soft, dry cloth too. You do not need to buy…
It’s That Time …
Tampon heart earring (With food coloring! Calm yourself!) Photo from Tampon Crafts Time for Tampon Crafts! I must say thanks to Jezebel for brightening my day with this hilarious DIY site. The blowgun with tampon bandolier is impressive, but the tampon pan flute video is a must-see and -hear! The hills are alive with the…
Music Hum: Joy Division/New Order
The college I went to has a required course called Music Humanities, but everyone calls it “Music Hum,” so that’s what I’m going to call my occasional music posts. Hopefully, my alma mater won’t try to sue my ass as a result! You know how uptight peeps are these days! If they want to sue…
