My old Reebok x Keith Haring sneakers — which were in dire shape to begin with — were beyond repair after I sloshed through a torrential rainstorm recently. So … out with the old-old and in with the new-old! I’m happy that I accidentally got two pairs of these in 2013 when these first came…
Ankle Bracelets on 1stdibs; Week in Review
A few years ago, I decided it was time to bring back a sex-ay summer jewelry style: the ankle bracelet, aka anklet. Right now, the barbed-wire anklet style from my Punk Platinum collection is available on 1stdibs. Here’s the original platinum version with its 48 tiny diamonds totaling 16 points (there are 100 points in…
An August Night in New York City
I’ve lived in New York City since 1986, and — just last night — I finally took a stellar photo of Manhattan. Good things come to those who wait 32 years!
Wednesday’s Video: Great Finds on 1stdibs
I previously shared a link to an interview I did with Introspective Magazine, the publication of online luxury marketplace 1stdibs. I spoke about how I impressed and inspired I was by an antique tiara. CLICK HERE FOR THE INTERVIEW. In this week’s YouTube video, I talk more about that stunning Art Nouveau tiara … while…
Transformation Tuesday: Redesigns Galore
I’ve written plenty about my love of redesigning old jewelry — including engagement rings. Once in a while, I’ll redesign clothes, which is how I wound up in a completely redesigned outfit last Saturday. I didn’t get to take a proper outfit photo due to an uncharged camera, so we’ll have to make due with…
Official Portrait of My Black-Diamond Skull Medallion
In June, I shared photos of my “Carpe Diem” medallion — which boasts a 3-carat black diamond cut into the shape of a skull — but it’s worth taking another look now that expert jewelry photographer Ed Parrinello of SquareMoose has taken the official picture. Ed’s photo even shows the tiny ruby “tongue” in the…
Small Cats for Leo Season on 1stdibs; Week in Review
Leo season started last Sunday, and I’ve got the lion jewelry of your dreams. That said, big cats aren’t always better! Why not do something different and get some small-cat jewelry for a feline-loving Leo’s birthday? I’ve got designs inspired by my own beloved FitzRoy the cat on 1stdibs. Fitzy is Instagram-famous for sitting in…
Thirty-Five Years of Madonna Fandom
On July 27, 1983 — 35 years ago today — Madonna’s self-titled debut album was released, and I became an instant fan. I have a big video about Madonna that I’ll post next month, but to celebrate the album anniversary, here’s a little teaser in which I talk about choosing a Madonna concert over my…
Throwback Thursday: My “On Leadership” Interview
I’m neither sorry nor surprised that Facebook — the evil empire I sometimes refer to as Spacenook to avoid attracting its unwelcome attention — took a beating on Wall Street today, with its stock dropping 19% . That’s a well-deserved loss of $119 billion in market capitalization, which is the biggest-ever one-day loss of value for…
Wednesday’s Video: My Wedding Band Has Gone AWOL
MrB and I celebrated our 17th anniversary on Sunday with a low-key local dinner. I wore a t-shirt and denim shorts rather than the Gareth Pugh outfit I wore for our previous two anniversaries. Another thing I wasn’t wearing was my chunky wedding band. Why? Because I lost my own damn ring! I always give…
