My talented and charitable designer friend Zang Toi won the “Most Beautiful Headdress” award at Tulips & Pansies Headdress the Affair, the event I mentioned here. For the event, which raises money for Village Care of New York, fashion designers and florists team up to produce spectacular head pieces. Zang worked with Golf Srithamrong of…
Seen on the Street
Yesterday I had more fun with visiting blogger Princess Poochie, but I’m going to let her post about the shopping portion of the day on her own blog. Keep an eye out for that. In the meantime, I will share this license plate we noticed on a parked car at the corner of Mulberry and…
Devilish Times With Gorgeous Friends
Gorgeous blogger Princess Poochie came to New York this weekend, and I was delighted to spend quality time with her. We took a mini-jaunt to Riverdale to visit my gorgeous friends Jen and Amanda. I was most entertained by the name of the train stop — Spuyten Duyvil — which is an old Dutch phrase…
My Mind Is Blown
Two of my favorite people together: my gorgeous friend Kara Baby and Law & Order SVU‘s Detective John Munch (Richard Belzer). Sorry I stole your Facebook photo, Kara Baby. I couldn’t help myself. UPDATED TO ADD: Kara Baby (aka Finn the Pug in the comments) notes that Munch KISSED HER HAND! I’m swooning.
Blondie, Beatles, Bronski, Duran, Nirvana
Gorgeous blogger Pretty in Black tagged me to write about five albums that changed my life. Trivia: I had the first four on vinyl. 1. Parallel Lines by Blondie was one of the first albums I ever owned. As I recall, my grandfather Sam got it for me when I was about 11. I can’t…

Dressing Up for Robin Hood
Last night, we went to a fundraiser for Robin Hood, which is an awesome organization that fights poverty in New York. One hundred percent of the money donated goes directly to people in need because Robin Hood’s Board of Directors underwrites all fund-raising and administrative expenses. Jon Stewart hosted the evening and the Black Eyed…
Wrinkly Slut, Part Deux
I recently mentioned that someone left a comment on my blog that referred to me as a “wrinkly slut.” (The comment included the demand: “Explain yourself.” Um, what? According to you, I’m wrinkly and a slut. What don’t you understand?) As I said in that earlier post, I thought “Wrinkly Slut” would be a great…
Keeping It Perv in the Family
For Mother’s Day, my family went to La Baraka, a French restaurant. I dressed in a Catholic schoolgirl skirt so my gorgeous mother, BarbaraB, and I could feel 25 years younger. I gave us the gift of youth! On me: Kilt with trompe l’oeil pins by Francis by Christian Francis Roth Prada Gaufre bag Mid-’90s…
Pun Intended
Blogging Woolf, a blog about “Virginia Woolf and her circle, past and present,” posted about my still-in-progress Virginia Woolf Whistle pendant, which I wrote about here. As you may recall, the pun-tastic pendant is a whistle that pops open to reveal a tiny “Woolf” inside. A look at the Virginia Woolf Whistle prototype In the…
