I am feeling guilty that I have posted many pictures of my dogs Henry and Gigi without posting a picture of my first Pekingese, Mr. Chubbs. This is me holding Mr. Chubbs in 2003. The t-shirt is not a fashion statement. He had allergies and kept scratching himself, so I put a t-shirt on him…
I Hope Angelina Jolie Doesn’t Get Nervous
Alas, Jezebel got to this before I could, but two days after the New York Times ran a big story on inconclusive/meaningless science, the Wall Street Journal reported that some pregnant women are freaking out over whether their lower-back tattoos make getting an epidural dangerous. Why are they freaking out? Because Pregnancy magazine ran a…
Perk Up Your Grey Wardrobe
I decided I needed a necklace to match all the grey that everyone will be wearing this fall. This is my Papessa Prayer Locket in 18K white gold and pink sapphires.

Blogs Are Getting So Much Respect…

Last week, I was too outraged by Marc Jacobs’s outrage at our outrage to post about it. Confused? The Marc Jacobs show last Monday started two hours late. Word had gotten out that the…
Edie Falco Wins Best Emmy Hair … IMHO
Didn’t Edie Falco look great last night? My very own personal hair guru, Keith Carpenter, did her hair. Good job, Keith! And of course I think Edie should have won because I am a huge Sopranos fan. Embed from Getty Images
Just What Teh Interweb Needs … More Tits!
My gorgeous stepdaughter showed me the very funny Indietits site this weekend. Get your mind out of the gutter! They’re birds. Well, I admit they are very dirty birds. Dirty hipster birds. The archives don’t seem to be working on the site, but if you click on the links for the RSS or LiveJournal feeds,…
Teenage Fashion Bloggers Should Skip This
I expect this will be very boring for a certain demographic, but I loved the cover story of the New York Times Magazine this weekend (site requires registration). Gary Taubes wrote about the tendency to confuse association with cause-and-effect in large-scale observational studies. In other words, just because you notice two trends occurring simultaneously, it…
"Nothing"
For those of you who are too young to have seen Brooke Shields in the 1980 Calvin Klein TV ad that caused a scandal, here it is. UPDATED TO ADD: How thrilled am I that the Manolo enjoyed this too! The Manolo’s shoe blog was the first fashion blog I ever read. I am delighted…
Things My Husband Says
1. Trees don’t grow to the sky.2. You can’t put toothpaste back in the tube.3. The best is the enemy of the good.
