I hardly knew what to do with myself last night now that the Starz television show Spartacus is over for the season. Gorgeous blogger/designer/neighbor Stacy Lomman came over every Friday so we could drink pink Champagne while watching Romans and their slaves being killed in ingenious ways.

Ever since I dressed to the teeth for two Lady Gaga concerts last year, I feel kind of naked going to musical events in my everyday jeans and black t-shirt. At a recent Kanye West/Jay-Z concert, Kanye totally outdressed me by wearing a leather skirt over pants, so I was happy to see that Kid [...]

While I’m watching MTV’s VMA pre-show, I’m reminiscing about the times MrB and I went to the VMAs back in the late ’90s and early 2000s when the show was in New York. I’m pretty sure I wore my white leather wedding outfit to the 2001 show, but that was before I had a digital [...]

I guess houndstooth checks and glen plaids are never out of fashion, but seeing checks and plaids on practically everything in Ferragamo’s Fifth Avenue store made me think of Versace from a few years back.

Good guess! While transferring files off an old computer, I found this photo from 2002. I had worn the dress to [...]

I ripped out this small Reuters item from the New York Times on February 15, as a reminder that freedom of speech isn’t to be taken for granted: Syria: Teenage Blogger Sentenced to 5 Years A teenage blogger, brought into court chained and blindfolded, was sentenced Monday to five years in jail on charges of [...]

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 [...]

I’m going to see Lady Gaga at Madison Square Garden tonight and I’ve been working on a look to top the outfit I wore to the January Gaga concert. Here is a peek at the makeup. More and better pictures to come after the show! UPDATED, POST-CONCERT AND EXHAUSTED: My look was “disco-ball Marie Antoinette.” [...]

I’ve got the 1984 song “Big in Japan” by Alphaville stuck in my head. Before it was a song, “big in Japan” was a mocking description of rock bands that weren’t successful at home in the U.S. or U.K., but were popular in Japan. The Japanese fans were considered a poor consolation prize. Personally, I’d [...]
