MrB surprised me tonight with the February issue of the Spanish magazine Leer (“leer” means “to read” in Spanish): in an article on November’s Committee to Protect Journalists dinner, there’s a photo of me in my Zang Toi gown. First Bill Cunningham, now Leer! I owe it all to Zang.
MrB and I were awed by [...]

Yesterday was my birthday and I wasn’t happy about it. It wasn’t just an age issue, though I do identify with the sentiment of this birthday card.
The bigger problem was that I’ve been stressed and depressed in general. I didn’t want to go to dinner with the family if it meant I would have to [...]
My birthday is on December 23 and I was excited to tell y’all exactly what I wanted: a metal eye patch like the one worn by Alexander Skarsgard in Lady Gaga’s Paparazzi video. It was listed for only $102 at Not Just a Label.
Unfortunately, someone bought the eye patch before I could post about it. [...]
There is only one day left to vote for me in the “prestigious” Drysdale Awards at Grant Miller Media. (UPDATED MONDAY: POLLS ARE CLOSED, BUT READ ON ANYWAY). I am nominated for Blog With the Most Swearing, Blog That is Clearly Contracted to Endorse a Product or Service, and Blogger of the Year. I am [...]

I’ve been trying to write a post about Lady Gaga since August. I noticed the date when I looked for this title among my drafted, but not published, blog posts. I have 160 drafts dating back to the start of this blog in July 2007, when I thought I wasn’t going to write that much [...]
I loved all the caption suggestions for the backstage photo from my post on the Francis Spring 2010 look book shoot.
I admit I was a bit surprised we got no “The Pet Goat” suggestions, because that’s what Jennine, Christian and I thought of when we first saw the photo.
C’mon, people! It’s okay to Go There. [...]
Jean from Ghost Tailor ch-ch-ch-changed the neckline of my favorite Francis graffiti dress. (Don’t worry! Christian approves.) Here’s the new look, paired with my Nuit ring in the ugly hallway.
Here’s the old look in sunny Paris.
Here’s David Bowie.
Speaking of rock stars, I wore the updated dress (get yours at Bloomie’s!) to dinner at Minetta Tavern [...]
Last week, I introduced the Francis Fall ‘09 collection with a drum roll of sorts. Gorgeous ex-blogger ENC took pity on me and emailed me to say that her husband, a professional drummer, would kindly do some drum roll videos for me so that I would be able to announce things with the appropriate fanfare [...]
The movie The Warriors was a major inspiration for my designing friend Christian Francis Roth’s “Gangs of New York” Spring ‘09 collection. In the movie, all the New York City gangs declare a truce and meet to discuss forming a super-gang to take over the city. When the gang leader who called the summit is [...]
I had to have minor surgery on my left hand to remove a weird bump. The bump was near my middle finger, but the doctor says it should not affect my ability to flip people off.
Things are not as bad as they appear.
I wrote a few posts in advance so blogging won’t be too [...]
