Celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival came up with a Minx manicure for me that’s so heavenly we named it “The Divine.” She layered gold lace-patterned Minx — designed by her manicurist friend Naja — over a burgundy layer for a stained-glass effect. Stained glass made us think of cathedrals, which made me think of one of [...]

If you’re in the Los Angeles area, you’re in luck! You can go to Broken English Jewelry in Santa Monica and try on the one and only gold Vampire Diana heart ring I’ve made so far. The design of the heart pierced by a “wooden” stake was inspired by my love for the television show [...]

Valentine’s Day is coming right up. Time to buy something for your Valentine, email your Valentine a very specific “hint,” or just treat yourself!

Thanksgiving is my least favorite holiday. There’s too much food and football, and a dearth of costumes, confetti and candy dioramas. I was happy to shake things up by going to a restaurant instead of having dinner at home. So happy, in fact, that I celebrated by wearing something other than my jeans-and-t-shirt uniform. What [...]

Yesterday’s post was about what I wore to the annual International Press Freedom Awards Dinner for the Committee to Protect Journalists. As I said, the dinner honors journalists from around the world who risk their lives to report from war zones and in defiance of brutal regimes.

I’ve been worried about my latest obsession, rapper Rick Ross, ever since he had two seizures earlier this month. Apparently, he’s doing better. I’m relieved, because the world can’t afford to lose a man with such exquisite taste in jewelry. It made my Halloween to see this photo of a Ross-o-lantern floating around the Web. [...]

For visual terror, yesterday’s New York Times had a feature called “When the City Was a House of Horrors.” It’s about John Conn, who photographed the New York City subway system in the late 1970s [...]
