I don’t blame him. Being pried out of a warm bed to walk in the rain might make me blow a raspberry at a bitch too.

My Best Dressed at the Emmys: Emilia Clarke
Unlike this year’s Golden Globes and SAG Awards, the Emmy Awards didn’t inspire me to bestow my coveted Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award upon anyone. Too much cement, too many safe looks. But there was one dress that made me think, “I would wear that”: Emilia Clarke’s (Daenerys Targaryen on Game of Thrones)…
Cement Strikes Back at the Emmys
Two years ago, I spent the Oscars complaining about the popularity of dresses in hues that reminded me of cement. Alas, the cement-colored dresses are back at tonight’s Emmy Awards. Here are two: Emily Van Camp Connie Britton Also representing the sidewalk were Morena Baccarin of Homeland in Basil Soda, Sarah Hyland of Modern Family…
Recent Paris Memories for Bastille Day
I feel like I should be in Paris today because, for the past three years, MrB and I spent Bastille Day (aka quatorze julliet) there. Here’s a little video of last year’s fireworks. The twinkling in the beginning is the Eiffel Tower. This year, our travel plans got pushed up and we went to Paris…

Introducing FitzRoy
FitzRoy (or Fitzroy) is an Anglo-Norman name that means “son of the king.” Several English monarchs gave it as a surname to their illegitimate children. Henry VIII’s only acknowledged illegitimate child — his son with Bessie Blount — was named Henry FitzRoy. As I’ve said before, I named Henry the dog after Henry VIII because…
Henry and Gigi Get Baths and Possibly a Cat Friend
The air quality in the apartment has improved now that Henry and Gigi have had much-needed baths. They also got haircuts and ribbons. Henry’s ribbons are a very masculine baby blue. I wonder what the plumber would say? The more exciting pet news is that the dogs might be getting a feline companion. The desire…
When Fashion Goes Right
When fashion works, you feel transformed: The LOLcat image is from I Can Has Cheezburger. Since the Wall Street Journal wrote about the original LOLcat site in 2007, Cheezburger has grown into what the New York Times called a “web empire.” One of my favorite Cheezburger-owned sites is This is Photobomb. Gorgeous blogger Jennine of…
