You win some, you lose some on eBay. Here’s one that got away. I should have bid higher for this caped Patrick Kelly<\/a> jacket. It went for under $100. What was I thinking?<\/p>\n

I was thinking I have enough jackets, that’s what I was thinking! But I don’t have one like this. This auction was in September and it keeps showing up on my eBay history of “watched” items to torment me.<\/p>\n

One of the “enough jackets” jackets that stopped me from bidding aggressively on the Patrick Kelly was the Steve J & Yoni P one I wore here<\/a>. It was auctioned off on eBay by online fashion magazine Fashion156 after being used in its Painted Issue<\/a>. Here’s how it looked on a model.<\/p>\n

I’m thrilled to have it. If I had to choose between this one and the Patrick Kelly, I think I made the right choice. But having both would be nice too, right? Anyway, I wore the Steve J & Yoni P jacket again to a dinner that Pratt Institute<\/a> held last night honoring Julian Schnabel<\/a>, Takashi Murakami<\/a> and my own personal friend, Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel<\/a>. We all got smiley Murakami flower thingies as gifts.<\/p>\n

Here’s another eBay item that happily didn’t get away. Earlier this week, I won this crazy skirt by my pal Christian Francis Roth<\/a> for just $20.99.<\/p>\n
