Five days after I saw Bill Cunningham New York, a documentary about New York Times style photographer Bill Cunningham, I went to a screening of another documentary called Page One: Inside the New York Times. The New York Times has become a big movie star! But what if the fame goes to the Times’s head? [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Last Wednesday, I dressed for a cocktail party in a way that felt “not me.” Anyone familiar with the Family Circus cartoon knows how annoying that little son-of-a-bitch “Not Me” is. As a result, when I got dressed for an event the following evening, I made a point of dressing as “me” as I possibly [...]

Here’s my latest manicure by celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival. Yes, that’s what I always call her, even to her face: “celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival.” Tracylee used Red Roses by Gelish with Night Shimmer for the polka dots. Seeing as she recently declared that we must name all our manicure styles, this look will be known [...]

Last year, I made myself a special set of rings to wear to a Lady Gaga concert. I’ve posted them before on this blog, but here’s another look at them just for the hell of it. After I saw the photos of Gaga’s egg-tacular entrance at the Grammys on Sunday, I kept thinking, “This reminds [...]

With holiday parties upon us and time travel a possibility (well, it is on Family Guy!), I’ve been worried about finding an appropriate host gift for 15th-16th century Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch. I mean, just in case he invites me to zoom back to 1500 for a festive shindig. Luckily, the Los Angeles Times Magazine [...]

Well, well, well. John Lennon would have been 70 today. It’s strange to think that it’s been almost 30 years since he was murdered. I remember getting up for school that morning. My mother, who was in the kitchen surprisingly early, told me, “John Lennon was killed,” and I said, “WHO?!” because I was so [...]

Gorgeous blogger Jennine from The Coveted and Independent Fashion Bloggers has been my house guest for a couple of weeks. We’ve been very busy. Among other things, we went to Zang Toi’s fashion show and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I bought a puzzle at the museum and we completed it. We ate at Nobu, [...]

In case you’ve lost track of the cast of characters in my life, here it is: My idol is Coco. My main pimp is Ice-T. My greatest obsessions are Sam Waterston’s eyebrows. My musical goddess is Lady Gaga. I haven’t had a hero since 2008 when comedian Katt Williams went crazy. I thought of placing [...]
