I’m devastated that I received a mere honorable mention in the race for the second annual Drysdale award for Blog With the Most Swearing.

I swear! How gorgeous is blogger Queen Michelle from Kingdom of Style? Look at her modeling her new Wendy Brandes swear rings. Not only does Queen Michelle make the rings look great, but she’s probably the best advertisement for long hair that I’ve ever seen. She better hope I don’t catch her, because she would [...]

Recent examples include: London Los Angeles San Francisco These gatherings always involve drinking too much and occasionally involve being [...]

December’s Jewel of the Month is my most complicated mechanical piece yet: the two-pun Virginia Woolf Whistle.A The whistle pops open to reveal a Little Woolf with tiny diamond eyes. But the mechanical marvel is that the whistle really works. Make a working whistle that opened was a huge challenge because any gap that lets [...]

I wrote about Antoni & Alison’s cool intarsia sweaters in June 2008 but I never got one. I couldn’t make a decision because they were all so cute.
