Gorgeous blogger Tavi of Style Rookie recently posted a link to Washington Post fashion editor Robin Givhan’s column about the uproar du jour over thin models. The column, thankfully, didn’t use the expression “real women” (as in “real women have curves” and, presumably, non-curvy women must be imaginary) but the topic did remind me that [...]

I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today and neither lolcats nor the misery of others could lift my spirits.A Then I started watching YouTube clips of John McEnroe‘s tennis court tantrums. This is a great way of safely channeling psychotic rage. Please play on.

I’ve been having fun in L.A. but I’ve been doing a lot of work too. I managed to tear myself away from the laptop yesterday to sit by the pool for three hours. While poolside, I pondered a lemon tree that, unlike more productive neighboring lemon trees, had put all its energy into creating a [...]

Lately, immigrant-hating CNN maniac Lou Dobbs is getting a lot of publicity for giving airtime to “birthers” — people who are convinced by the aliens who control their minds via chips installed during anal probes that Barack Obama was born in Kenya, instead of Hawaii. Some of you know that before I was a jewelry [...]

You’d think that after this recent post, I would have stopped reading the non-fashion articles in the Sunday Styles section of the New York Times. I know I should avoid exposure to quotes from incredibly annoying people, but I still couldn’t resist last Sunday’s section. The latest irksome article, about abandoned blogs, was called Blogs [...]

Last week, I went to see “Whole in the Wall,” an exhibit of graffiti art at the Helenbeck Gallery, accompanied by my designing friend, Christian Francis Roth, and my gorgeous, non-designer friend, Maggie Kneip. I wrote more about the show on my brand-new Francis blog today. Click here to check that out. As a bonus, [...]

I’ve mentioned my love for the animated series Family Guy before. On one episode, Peter Griffin gets his own segment on the local news called “What Really Grinds My Gears.” Take a look. The incest/period portion of that clip isn’t relevant to my post today. I don’t even have a brother, for God’s sake! You [...]

It started out cloudy and cool today, but now I see the sun peeking out. Confusing. So, before I go out this evening, I will check The Fucking Weather for the latest forecast. My gorgeous blogging friend Tina pointed out this bit of highlariousness to me. When I checked a few minutes ago, the site [...]

When the moon is directly overhead you weigh slightly less. I got this bit of trivia from the underside of my Diet Snapple lid. Snapple always puts what it calls a “Real Fact” on the flip side of the lid. That’s where I read that a duck’s quack doesn’t echo. I’m skeptical about that. I [...]
