The late Mr. Chubbs (a CHINESE DOG) certainly enjoyed the taste of his own nose! He looks so happy in this December 2003 photo. If you would like to make a stamp out of this picture for your holiday cards, that would be very peculiar. But don’t let the fact that I think you’re a…
Great Minds Groupthink Alike
Blog #1 (ahem! mine!), Dec. 3: “But the dark side of Greek life, and of any organizations that deemphasize individual rights in favor of the “common good,” is groupthink, hazing and the exclusion of outsiders, rebels and accidental troublemakers. Feel free to reread Lord of the Flies.”Blog #2, Dec. 4: “And then, she was exiled…
Mythological Creatures
I suddenly realized that my new catalog, like the Abominable Snowman, is spoken of but never seen. If you would like to receive a PDF of the catalog, send an email to wbjewelry at hotmail dot com. The catalog is a much better representation of my recent work than the Gigi Caron site, which has…
Boob Bowz? LOLZ!
My friend Jane suggested that since I successfully brought butt bows back, I should now tackle boob bows. Apparently, Anne Hathaway had a tough time with the boob bow sitch earlier this year. Jane has a now-dormant blog called Boycott the Bag. It had many smart and funny ideas in it, but let’s face it….
Do You Take This to Be Your Postage?
I went to the post office to mail some of my new catalogs and found this delightful stamp. I was very pleased. Who could resist buying from a jewelry catalog that was adorned with such a beautiful stamp? I was so happy that I looked it up online to share it with you peeps, thereby…
Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
Yesterday I was exceptionally annoyed by this first-person essay in the New York Times (registration required). Every week, the Modern Love column grates like fingernails on a chalkboard. After reading it I usually beat my head against the wall for a few minutes and feel much better. In the case of “My Sorority Pledge? I…
No, Really, This Is the Last Time
I declared I was out of the tag business, but since I am not inspired to write anything else right now, I will answer the tags of Diva in a Carry On and, belatedly, SkyBluePink. I know! I’m such a user. Seven more facts about me: I have four stepchildren. The oldest is six months…

Oh Noes!
My dearest friend Monika is going away for a whole month and leaving me bereft! I recently visited her in the ‘burbs and she forced me to meet her at a corner restaurant with a terrible pun for a name. I punished her by letting a hairy purple jacket chew her shoulder. I might sue…
I’m Lazy and Proud of It
First of all, no book club today. That’s not really due to laziness, though. I just want to do a better job on the post. I’ll be back with an empress next Thursday. My real laziness is that I would like to support other small business owners by buying some of my holiday gifts through…
