In the early ’80s, when I was growing up in Mahwah, N.J., my younger sister, Terri Berry, had a weekly dance class in New York City. My mother and I would spend the time at Bloomingdale’s. Week after week, I gazed longingly at a pale pink and gray leather motorcycle-style jacket. I don’t think I [...]

Singer Maluca sashays down the street with curlers in her hair in her El Tigeraso video, but the style statement that really caught my eye was her orange-red-floral-on-black jacket. The color and print reminds me of the ’80s shirt that I wore in October. Next time I wear that shirt, I’ll pop in some curlers [...]

I haven’t been able to forget an outfit that Rihanna wore at the beginning of the month. That color combination reminds me of a matchy-matchy Esprit outfit I had in the ’80s when Esprit was hot-hot-hot. As I recall, I wore cropped purple pants with a boxy, striped purple and orange-yellow top. It seems everything [...]

As I said in my last post, gorgeous blogger Jennine and I went to see the social-media-inspired movie Catfish. There are two notable things about Catfish. First, the trailer that makes the movie look like a scary pseudo-documentary à la The Blair Witch Project is misleading. Second, Yaniv “Nev” Schulman, the handsome star of the [...]

Forget about the traditional Easter bonnet. Today is the day to try out the Peeptastic pastel eyebrows seen on the Balenciaga runway last month. When I saw the Balenciaga pictures, I immediately thought of my gorgeous friend Kara Baby and her gorgeous sister Stephanie Baby. No, their last name isn’t really “Baby.” I just call [...]

I saw Lady Gaga at Radio City Music Hall on Thursday and she kicked so much ass that I’m traumatized … traumatized that I didn’t get tickets for a second night. What was I thinking? I should have known once wasn’t enough! I realized that about Madonna years ago and now I always buy tickets [...]

I’ve mentioned Prada nearly 30 times on this blog, but Miuccia hasn’t sent a thank-you note, let alone a fabulous bag. I’ve mentioned “2 in 1 Shampoo Plus Conditioner” Pert Plus one time and the publicist immediately sent me eight bottles of the stuff. I’m sure there’s a lesson to be learned from this. Let [...]

Limahl from Kajagoogoo was good. Limahl David Sylvian from Japan was better. David Sylvian John Taylor from Duran Duran was best. John Taylor Speaking of hair, gorgeous blogger Sister Wolf asked me how I get my hair so shiny. This is a frequently asked question. Honestly, I’m not sure my hair is as shiny in [...]

Earlier this week, I wore the Ossie Clark shirt/jacket I got in London last year. Back in 1983 or 1984, I wore a kickass ski jacket. Thanks for dredging this up, high-school classmate Mel. Oh, the wonders of Facebook. UPDATED TO ADD: In the first photo, I’m wearing the gold version of my Nuit Ring. [...]
