Last week, a busybody speculated aloud that my favorite red lipstick is full of lead that will give me cancer. (My reaction can be summed up by this 2008 post.) Right after that conversation, I saw that lots of news organizations were picking up a story about a pair of Dutch artists — Lernert Engelberts [...]

In 2008, I wrote this: “A couple of years ago, a much-older male friend annoyed me by asking, ‘What are you going to do when you can’t be cute anymore?’ I privately thought, ‘WTF? My cuteness is eternal AND rust-proof, bitch.’ Out loud, I answered, ‘Then I’ll be old and crazy.’ … I’m going to [...]

While having Bellinis at a hotel bar in Paris, I pointed out that there were little notepads and pencils on all the tables. I wondered if they were for the kind of peeps who would be hashing out some kind of multi-billion-euro business deal over drinks. Those peeps always need a pad for writing lots [...]

Here I am a couple of days ago, in my Black Halo top, Acne jeans and Karl Lagerfeld shoes from 1994. My Prada Gaufre bag is on the table. I’m standing in a hotel lobby. And here I am in March 2008, in my Black Halo top, Acne jeans and 1994 Karl Lagerfeld shoes. My [...]

My peeps, take a moment to visit Grant Miller Media and vote for me in the Drysdale Awards. What are the Drysdale Awards, you ask? Well, they’re like the Oscars for bloggers, meaning that the winners will accept their awards while wearing sweatpants and t-shirts with week-old tomato-sauce stains on them rather than gowns and [...]
