Twenty fashion bloggers graciously contributed their photos to a slideshow, so please go there and leave those wimmins some comments. CLICK HERE TO READ THE STORY. I had hoped to publish this story last month, but, as you’ll [...]

I’ve been looking through some photos from the 1990s for another post I’m doing and marveling at how bad the fashion was. People criticize ’80s style, but I swear the ’90s have that decade beat in the fugly department. Oh my God! The t-shirts under spaghetti-strap dresses and clunky shoes! I was surprised at how [...]

Dick Clark — the host of American Bandstand and New Year’s Rockin’ Eve — died yesterday at age 82. You’ve probably seen his famous Bandstand chat with Madonna a thousand times in the past 24 hours, but I’m going to link to the clip again anyway. I was glued to the television when this originally [...]

Watching the Grammys red carpet — with my eyes peeled for Snooki, whose stylist borrowed my swear rings — I was reminded that I went to the Grammys in 2003, when they were held at Madison Square Garden.

When I saw a mesh-topped Hervé L. Leroux dress in US Magazine, I flashed back to a bodysuit I wore in the summer of 1993. Check out those mom jeans! That’s how we rolled back then. I also had no knowledge of flat irons, as you can tell from my hair. Flat irons are very [...]

The dinner honors journalists from around the world who risk their lives to report from war zones and in defiance of brutal regimes. On its website, CPJ explains what [...]

If you read this blog regularly, you know that I love redesigning old jewelry. Here are a few examples: Susan’s engagement ring got a major overhaul. Heather’s diamond earrings turned up on her engagement ring. Terri Berry’s earrings and necklace became new earrings and a ring. In the summer of 2010, I started thinking about [...]

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 [...]

Right before Snakes on a Plane came out five years ago, a friend and I were so swayed by the pre-opening online hype that we bet MrB that the movie would be a mega-blockbuster. Well, it turned out that the hype was just hype. According to IMDB, the movie’s domestic gross barely topped the production [...]
