In February, gorgeous blogger Jill of Trend de la Creme did a funny post on the evolution of the mud flap girl. Another gorgeous blogger named Jill, who had already purchased two pairs of cufflinks from me for her lucky husband, was inspired. She emailed me to ask if I could make special mud flap [...]

The awards honor “extraordinary achievements of outstanding women in the communications industry,” and they’re quite a big deal. Another one of the honorees was [...]

Whenever my friendly neighborhood crack dude sees me near my apartment in the late afternoon, he says, “Worked a half-day, huh?” But who is he to criticize? Last year, he promised that he’d meet me at my office and take me to lunch. I’m still waiting for my free lunch, crack dude.
