Wednesday’s Video: All About Patrick Kelly
I’ve been wanting to do a video about the late fashion designer Patrick Kelly since I started doing YouTube videos in 2017.

Pondering the Patrick Kelly Leopard Dress, Again
Y’all know that I love to wear my vintage Patrick Kelly leopard gown for a big event on an annual basis. I got the dress on eBay in April 2008 and opened the package just as I was getting dressed for a Tribeca Film Festival party. Before I put on the Ossie Clark dress I…
