Y’all know I love Family Guy. However, as the great philosopher Meat Loaf sang, “I’d do anything for love (but I won’t do that.)” In this case, “that” is a custom-made, 12-carat, ruby-and-diamond Stewie Griffin necklace, like the one purchased by Justin Bieber and inflicted upon my eyes by TMZ.com. When I saw this, I…

Courtney Love Is a Gateway Drug
I take back everything bad I’ve said about Courtney Love because I’m loving the contact high I got from her insane interview with The Fix, a website about addiction and recovery. Courtney isn’t as compulsively quotable as Charlie Sheen. There is no “winning” or “tiger blood” or “I am on a drug, it’s called CHARLIE…
Fashion Advice for Halle Berry
I’ve got nothing bad to say about Halle Berry’s amazingly sex-ay look at Wednesday’s FiFi awards. My only thought is that if you have a body that’s THAT incredible, you shouldn’t bother with the dress! Wear nothing but your heels and a big smile. The world will thank you for it. The Halle photo is…
Never Is the Next New Thing™: Maxi Skirts
How many times have I heard women moan that they can’t wear maxi dresses or skirts? Too many. If you can wear a floor-length wedding, prom or evening gown — and anyone can, no matter what her height — that means you can wear floor-length, period. It just has to be the right cut to…
A Manicure That Screams “Take Me Seriously!”
Celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival has named my latest nail look “Dippin’ Dots.” Tracylee used Gelish colors Passion (pink), Sleek White, Princess Tiara (lavender), Allure (gold), Seafoam (light green) and Ocean Wave (blue). Doesn’t this manicure just scream, “Take me seriously!”? I was thinking I wouldn’t have worn anything like this at my old job at…
Musical Ramblings With Xtina, Kajagoogoo, Eminem and Afroman
Like I’ve said before, I loved Christina Aguilera’s raunchy Stripped-era look. I never even liked her till I saw the “Dirrty” video, and then I was all, “How YOU doin’, Xtina?” What can I say? Sex sells! I have no idea why I’m thinking about this right now. Maybe it’s because I’m still trying to…
Personae Non Gratae: Galliano and Von Trier
Because of my pre-jewelry life as a journalist, I’ve always been a sucker for newspaper-print clothes. I got this newspaper-print jacket a couple of years ago on eBay. I won’t be wearing it again. Check out the back. Yep, that’s Hitler-loving John Galliano‘s name in eye-catching black and white. If I owned any Christian Dior…
Steal My Cherry
Get your minds out of gutter! All I’m saying is my 18K gold and ruby cherry necklace is 25% off for the next 24 hours. This really is a steal considering the price of gold is sky-high these days. Just over a year ago, I wrote a post that was like, “OMG! Gold is over…
Custom Work: Gettin’ Sketchy Wit It
I don’t do sketches of all the designs that I create for my collection. Sometimes I skip the sketch and go directly to the wax model. Other times, I do a very rough sketch to convey a concept. When I was working on my Cleves swan ring, I scribbled something that looked like two deformed…
Practice, Practice, Practice
Gorgeous blogger Jennine from The Coveted sent me a link to these piano-themed shoes by Charlotte Olympia. If I owned these shoes, I’d stand around midtown hoping that someone would ask me for directions to Carnegie Hall. And I’d wear them with this dress, of course.
