I’m so sad to read that actor Andy Whitfield, the star of the first season of Spartacus, has died of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma at age 39. My stepdaughter and I watched when Spartacus premiered on STARZ in January 2010. The first episode was truly terrible — something that deserved a “Worst!TV!Show!Ever! comment — yet something drew [...]

Once again, I’m thankful that gorgeous blogger and bossypants Jennine from The Coveted told me last year to post more outfit pictures. It comes in handy when I’m working on a couple of complicated posts only to realize it’s Monday and I’ve got nothing ready for publication. But wait! I wore something! Instant post. I [...]

Get your minds out of gutter! All I’m saying is my 18K gold and ruby cherry necklace is 25% off for the next 24 hours. This really is a steal considering the price of gold is sky-high these days. Just over a year ago, I wrote a post that was like, “OMG! Gold is over [...]

For a number of years, I’ve celebrated my December 23 birthday with friends on New Year’s Eve. On my actual birthday, I have dinner with the family. This year, for the family dinner, I wanted to wear the L’Wren Scott sequined pants that I last wore in July 2009, just because they were past due [...]

MrB has an extremely loud laugh that has been a movie-theater embarrassment to his family for many years. His son nicknamed him “Mr. Laugh-Head” after one particularly egregious episode. I have many times poked MrB in the side and hissed, “Enough!” “It’s not that funny!” “No one can hear the next line!” I guess I [...]

Last month, when I wrote about wearing a vintage feather-trimmed gown for the first time since 1995, gorgeous blogger Lexie of Little Boat said, “… you often write about formal dresses — which makes me wonder — how do you dress ‘everyday’? While I know you could definitely rock that dress while grocery shopping, do [...]

I’m hard at work on changes to my website that I hope will be implemented later this month. As always, the computer is on my lap and Law & Order reruns are on the TV. I looked up just in time to recognize a brightly colored dress on a character who was being questioned by [...]

In case you’ve lost track of the cast of characters in my life, here it is: My idol is Coco. My main pimp is Ice-T. My greatest obsessions are Sam Waterston’s eyebrows. My musical goddess is Lady Gaga. I haven’t had a hero since 2008 when comedian Katt Williams went crazy. I thought of placing [...]

I haven’t worn sneakers anywhere except the gym (with one hot-air-ballooning exception) for more than 20 years. Even when clambering around castle ruins, I prefer wearing cork wedges. Gym sneakers that look cute with bike shorts on the elliptical machine don’t work with my red lipstick and regular clothes. So I’ve been on the lookout [...]
