Life Magazine, the photojournalism magazine, was launched as a weekly publication by Time Magazine owner Henry Luce in 1936. When I worked at People Magazine, which was started many decades later by the same corporate parent, I was based in the Time-Life building. The weekly version of Life was shut down in 1972, but the…

The Eyebrows Have It
As a longtime fan of Law & Order actor Sam Waterston’s magnificent eyebrows, I was thrilled to see them grace the pages of Harper’s Bazaar. You can admire the eyebrows — and the rest of the cast of Law & Order — in Bazaar’s Fashion Crime feature here.

Post Rerun: A Defense of Fashion
Gorgeous blogger Tavi of Style Rookie recently posted a link to Washington Post fashion editor Robin Givhan’s column about the uproar du jour over thin models. The column, thankfully, didn’t use the expression “real women” (as in “real women have curves” and, presumably, non-curvy women must be imaginary) but the topic did remind me that…

I wore a strapless Jean-Charles de Castelbajac motorcycle-zipper dress that I got in Paris this summer. The dress made me a little crazy. I was inspired to try a hairstyle that…
Four Reasons to Be Proud
My Mud Flap Jill cufflinks made it into Houston Magazine‘s October 2009 issue. Even better, they’re in a T&A-themed feature. My Papessa Prayer Locket made it into the Fall 2009 issue of Inside Weddings. The Sunday Best thinks I am the bee’s knees. And I was one of the winners of Independent Fashion Blogger’s Dress-Up…

“Caption This” Contest Winners
I loved all the caption suggestions for the backstage photo from my post on the Francis Spring 2010 look book shoot. I admit I was a bit surprised we got no “The Pet Goat” suggestions, because that’s what Jennine, Christian and I thought of when we first saw the photo. C’mon, people! It’s okay to…
