Henry Is Coveted
Last week, I had the pleasure of having gorgeous blogger Jennine from The Coveted as my houseguest for the second time in a month. We had grand plans for various photo shoots but they all fell apart. The only picture I got of Jennine was a rare one of her in her lounging-around clothes, hanging…
Outfit Post: A Stitch in Time
I don’t love being in front of a camera. I have one look: a big smile. If I don’t smile, my eyes are still smiling. If my eyes aren’t smiling, I look sad instead of serious or sexy. Plus I’m always disappointed that I don’t look like a young Sophia Loren in the pictures. Inside,…
L’Chaim
Life Magazine, the photojournalism magazine, was launched as a weekly publication by Time Magazine owner Henry Luce in 1936. When I worked at People Magazine, which was started many decades later by the same corporate parent, I was based in the Time-Life building. The weekly version of Life was shut down in 1972, but the…
The Eyebrows Have It
As a longtime fan of Law & Order actor Sam Waterston’s magnificent eyebrows, I was thrilled to see them grace the pages of Harper’s Bazaar. You can admire the eyebrows — and the rest of the cast of Law & Order — in Bazaar’s Fashion Crime feature here.

Post Rerun: A Defense of Fashion
Gorgeous blogger Tavi of Style Rookie recently posted a link to Washington Post fashion editor Robin Givhan’s column about the uproar du jour over thin models.

Mummy Dearest
Just in time for Halloween (but perfect all year round for Egyptologists): my new mummy locket in sterling silver. I’ll get better pictures of this piece soon. As I mentioned in my last post, my camera is malfunctioning and I was lucky to get these photos. I’ve got a new camera on its way. Anyway,…
Hair-Raising Times With The Shoe Girl
Last week, gorgeous blonde blogger The Shoe Girl came to town and took me to the FFANY Shoes on Sale party at Lincoln Center. I wore a strapless Jean-Charles de Castelbajac motorcycle-zipper dress that I got in Paris this summer. The dress made me a little crazy. I was inspired to try a hairstyle that…
