Welcome back to Music Hum, peeps! This is my sporadic series about vintage music. Check out the previous post here. Today’s post is dedicated to Siouxsie Sioux, the queen of punk rock. If the word”punk” brings to mind big black hair, gobs of black eyeliner, fishnets and black leather/rubber bondage gear … well, you should…
Thursday Book Club: Isabella the She-Wolf
I’m going to interrupt my series of posts on the six wives of Henry VIII, or “King Henry teh 8” as he is known to Googlers. I must write about Queen Isabella, because the necklaces I named for her have just been finished. Isabella, a daughter of Philip the Fair of France, was born in…
Obsessions. Some Old, Some New.
1. Actor Sam Waterston‘s eyebrows. I think the long-time Law & Order cast member deserves three Emmys: one for him and one for each eyebrow. I always feel like the brows are acting out little plots of their own. No other eyebrows are so special. Admittedly, some people would vote for Martin Scorsese‘s. While I’m…
Pining for Saipan
One of my custom-made rings is living in Saipan with my gorgeous client Deb. She sent me this photo of the ring contemplating the sunset. Deb originally moved to Saipan with her ex-parrot, Rodney. Rodney flew away to become king of the local birds, and now Deb has a handsome human named Brad to keep…

Technorati Is Sorry. So Very, Very Sorry.
Sorry :~( This is the third time since I started blogging in July that I’ve gotten that irritating “sorry” message with sad face from Technorati. Is my blog really “under review”? Are latex leggings and Anne Boleyn controversial? Perhaps my desire for fish feet is in such bad taste that I’ve been singled out for…
Another Kova & T Latex Leggings Source
Starting Oct. 5, the coveted Kova & T leggings will be available from Sway & Cake. Sway & Cake describes them as having a “latex-like finish,” while Intuition’s site simply calls them “latex.” Hmm. Well, all I really care about is that they’re black and shiny. Can’t get enough latex? Parallel Entity found shiny leggings…
Holy Vintage, Batman!
Want to be a caped crusader like Susie Bubble? FashionDig has a few good-looking vintage capes. This elegant fringed cape is $65. The cute blue one ($45) was made for upscale department store Bonwit Teller. More fringe. This one is $150. Strange. It is from the same store and looks identical to the one in…
The Ones That Got Away
It seems fish feet are everywhere, yet I cannot procure the fish feet of my dreams. The Manolo discovered these fish flip-flops (fish-flops?) via Unknown Highway. Maybe they’d be better as high-heel fish-flops My search for the Christian Louboutin fish shoes continues. Behind Big Glasses is trying to divert me with elephant feet. Nice try,…
