Sex sells… and I’m buying! I can’t take my eyes off the skin-baring photo shoot former Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus did for V Magazine. What’s not to love? Miley’s body is amazing, and her cropped, punk-inspired hairdo is both timely and interestingly atypical for a former tween star. My favorite photo is this one….

What Wendy Wore: Amazing Belzer
Last night, our generous friends Barney and Kathryn took us out for a belated anniversary dinner at Ouest. I wanted to wear something I hadn’t worn yet this year and picked a purple Black Halo dress from 2008 (see the blue version on Debra Messing here). I was running late as usual, so by the…

Holiday Confusion
You know how calendars have all the important holidays printed in them? Well, my 2009 calendar is defective because today it says “St. Patrick’s Day” when it is really St. Coco’s Day. Yes, people. My idol, Coco, came into the world 30 years ago today. I resent that you just thought, “Only thirty?!” You better…
Meeting My Accountant Today
Got this song by the Kinks stuck in my head. “The tax man’s taken all my dough,And left me in my stately home,lazing on a sunny afternoon.”Speaking of ’60s bands, there’s a trailer out for America’s Lost Band, the documentary on the Remains. After watching it, I decided that the Remains had to be four…
The Next Editor of Vogue?
The editors at the glossy fashion magazines have had a hard time deciding how to approach the economic downturn. There have been some forced-sounding articles on shopping at Target and “in your closet.” It’s time to bring in Ice-T. My main pimp, looking stylish in a $100 suit, sounded off to New York Magazine about…
