Fashion at the Grammys is so much more interesting than at the acting-oriented awards shows. Personal style is part of the package for musicians. They don’t have to be “pretty” or “appropriate.” They only need to make a statement about themselves — the more distinctive, the better. This means, naturally, that my Best Dressed/Wear What…

For Grammy Night: Six Degrees of Ringo Starr
The Grammys are tonight and Eminem’s “Berzerk” is nominated for Best Rap Performance. I hope rocker Billy Squier has been making mad money from that song, which samples Squier’s 1981 hit, “The Stroke.” Billy deserves it! I have been meaning to write about Billy for years. I didn’t see him perform live in his heyday,…
I Like to Regift
Why write a new Christmas Day post when I wrote the perfect one in 2008? Here is “Happy Holiday, Goyim!” again, with a new, working version of the video and a couple of other updated links: Every December 25, I get into the holiday spirit by reminiscing about an idiot I knew in my freshman…
The Week in Review

Adam Ant: From Halloween Costume to Concert Attire
Between Hurricane Sandy and work, I didn’t get around to making Halloween plans. I had a great costume in mind too. My favorite part about dressing up is the hair and makeup, so I’m definitely not going to stick a pair of cat ears on my head, draw on some eyeliner whiskers and call it…
We Survived Eminem at Lollapalooza
I’ve grudgingly attended only a few general-admission concerts and then only at very small venues. I missed the Alexander McQueen exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art because I couldn’t bear to wait in line for more than an hour. But yesterday I waited — mostly on my feet and with no food — for…
Regifting, Bloggy Style: The Meaning of Xmas

Foot Fetish: Hi-Wedge Sneakers
I’ve wanted a pair of high-wedge sneakers for a long time. Last year, I tried on these happy-looking See by Chloe sneakers, but they didn’t fit. I noticed this pair by Ash on Saks.com last weekend. They don’t make my heart sing so much that I want to order them, but if I wandered by…
Musings on John Lennon’s Birthday
Well, well, well. John Lennon would have been 70 today. It’s strange to think that it’s been almost 30 years since he was murdered. I remember getting up for school that morning. My mother, who was in the kitchen surprisingly early, told me, “John Lennon was killed,” and I said, “WHO?!” because I was so…
When Kids Ask Those Awkward Questions
If your child asks, “If drugs are so bad for me, why did you do them when you were a teenager?” I suggest you answer, “Because I wasn’t sure they led to stupid children till now.” WendyB: Answering idiotic questions with brutal honesty since forever. UPDATED: I didn’t include the Rachel Leigh Cook anti-drug ad…
