My interpretation of Anne Boleyn’s famous initial pendant (Boleyn Necklace © Wendy Brandes 2007-2008) (Photo by John Muggenborg) I’m continuing last week’s post on Anne Boleyn, the second wife of Henry VIII of England, or “Henry teh 8” as I will now call him thanks to whoever hit my blog with that search term. In…
Amusing Gift Ideas From Noted Co.
Noted Co. wholesales fun little things to museums, gift shops and snazzy toy stores. I was very taken by the Japanese papercraft kits. All of the pieces have moving parts, which I love, but the darkly humorous names are even better. The fish and carving knife piece pictured is called “Doomed.” Click here to find…
Fish Feet. I Want Them.
Christian Louboutin still hasn’t sent me these delightful shoes despite my helpful hints on this blog. Now Shoewawa tortures me with this post. Bad Shoewawa! How could anyone fail to see how perfect my life would be if only I had fish feet? My previous fishy posts: August 23 August 29
Loyalty and Devotion*
I am feeling guilty that I have posted many pictures of my dogs Henry and Gigi without posting a picture of my first Pekingese, Mr. Chubbs. This is me holding Mr. Chubbs in 2003. The t-shirt is not a fashion statement. He had allergies and kept scratching himself, so I put a t-shirt on him…
I Hope Angelina Jolie Doesn’t Get Nervous
Alas, Jezebel got to this before I could, but two days after the New York Times ran a big story on inconclusive/meaningless science, the Wall Street Journal reported that some pregnant women are freaking out over whether their lower-back tattoos make getting an epidural dangerous. Why are they freaking out? Because Pregnancy magazine ran a…
Perk Up Your Grey Wardrobe
I decided I needed a necklace to match all the grey that everyone will be wearing this fall. This is my Papessa Prayer Locket in 18K white gold and pink sapphires.

Blogs Are Getting So Much Respect…
… that soon they will be considered Old Media and the bloggers will be complaining about a passel of New New Media whippersnappers eating their lunch! Speaking of meals, ParisBreakfasts pointed out a gushy Herald Trib story on fashion bloggers. Congrats to everyone mentioned in it, but I hope this Chris Cholette fella didn’t have…
The Late Marc Jacobs
Run, tiny Marc Jacobs, run! The angry villagers are coming with their torches and pitchforks! Yes, that’s him on the left. Last week, I was too outraged by Marc Jacobs’s outrage at our outrage to post about it. Confused? The Marc Jacobs show last Monday started two hours late. Word had gotten out that the…
Edie Falco Wins Best Emmy Hair … IMHO
Didn’t Edie Falco look great last night? My very own personal hair guru, Keith Carpenter, did her hair. Good job, Keith! And of course I think Edie should have won because I am a huge Sopranos fan. Embed from Getty Images
Just What Teh Interweb Needs … More Tits!
My gorgeous stepdaughter showed me the very funny Indietits site this weekend. Get your mind out of the gutter! They’re birds. Well, I admit they are very dirty birds. Dirty hipster birds. The archives don’t seem to be working on the site, but if you click on the links for the RSS or LiveJournal feeds,…
