The late Tip O’Neill, a longtime Speaker of the House, once said, “All politics is local.” And I am the local representative for all you bloggers and lurkers in this small corner of the blogosphere. I come here every day, including weekends, and do my very best to make you laugh soda out your nose…

Great Minds Think Alike … About Stripes
Rewind! I meant to do a “great minds think alike” post about the vintage Clovis Ruffin dress I wore on New Year’s. The stripes are on the diagonal and so am I! Clearly Gwen Stefani agrees that black-and-white-striped, one-shoulder dresses never go out of style. Embed from Getty Images Gwen wore her dress first, but…
No, Really, You Want ME
My peeps, you must make buttons and bumper stickers and signs and get the vote out for me for Best Fashion Blog. Why am I the best? Because I represent hope! Just look at my motto: “Wear What You Want.” It’s positive, not negative. I wrote about the meaning of my motto last January: I…
You Know You Want Me
It’s like Chicago here — you get to vote early and often for moi. After sweeping the big ego and cussin’ categories in the prestigious Drysdale Awards thanks to you gorgeous bitches, I am now a finalist in the Best Fashion Blog category for the 2008 Weblog Awards*. My competition is tough and it includes…
Too Much Is Never Enough
Thanks to gorgeous blogger LJ from SOS! Save Our Shoes for pointing out this bit of fabulousness from New York Couture. Shiny leggings…WITH BOWS! Two obsessions for the price of one.

I kept this up until I left the corporate world and started working for…
Going Back to Cali
This is what I wore when I went out with the gorgeous bloggers of L.A. last month: head-to-ankle black. Kate Moss for Topshop fringed jacket. My only Topshop acquisition ever. Only my Hogan shoes broke up the black. I found these shoes marked way down but almost didn’t get them. Luckily, MrB insisted because I’ve…
It’s All About Me
Two wise women have followed my command to kneel before Wendy Brandes and have respectfully offered their written tributes. Gorgeous blogger Sheila of Ephemera has recognized my triumphs in the Drysdale Award categories for big ego and bad language, naming me The Most Foul-Mouthed Self-Promoting Funny Woman Ever. Kathy “Knock the Dicks Out of Your…
New Year’s Outfits
For my traditional New Year’s Eve/birthday combination celebration last night, I wore a Clovis Ruffin dress from Shrimpton Couture, my faux-ny tail and earrings of my own design. Gigi the dog wore her own fur coat, accessorized with a giant tongue and a bitchy attitude. UPDATED TO ADD: I’m wearing also the Lagerfeld shoes I…
