Friday the 13th is always my excuse to post this gif of my silver hockey mask and chainsaw earrings, created by the once-hyped shopping app Spring. Alas, Spring is no more … and my earrings will be gone as well once my last four pairs are sold. Whether you’re a horror-movie fan, an Eminem fan,…

Kurt Cobain, Walmart, and Guns
In 1993, Walmart and Kmart refused to stock Nirvana’s In Utero CD due to depictions of fetuses in a collage on the back cover and the title of the song “Rape Me.” Geffen, the band’s label, initially declined to make any changes, but with discount stores responsible for nearly a quarter of all record sales,…
Happy Birthday, Gangsta Boo!
I’ve got to interrupt my series of gun-control posts for a hot second to send a birthday shout-out to my gorgeous friend Lola Mitchell, aka the legendary rapper Gangsta Boo. I’m so sad I couldn’t celebrate with her in L.A. or Memphis, but at least we got to hang out in June. Not only that,…

Wednesday’s Video: Meet Singer Christina Castle
In last week’s video, I talked about how musicians and other celebrities can get free jewelry from me. It’s easy! There’s just one catch: If they ask, I’ll refuse them while laughing an evil laugh. Angelina Jolie Evil Laugh GIF from Angelinajolie GIFs Trust me, it’s the evil laugh that gets to them. Anyway, if…
Wednesday’s Video: How to Get Free Jewelry
Last month, I did a video about celebrities who think they’re entitled to free clothes. I explained that sample sizes — by definition — are not “one size fits all,” so it’s not a personal insult if a dress designed for one particular model to wear a single time on a runway doesn’t magically fit…
About That Oscars Jewelry …
This is my last post on this year’s Oscars, or at least I hope so. I didn’t mean to make this into a series that goes on too long, like The Walking Dead. In case you missed my other Academy Awards-related posts, here they are: Pre-Oscar video: Celebrities, free outfits, and complaints. My Best Dressed/Wear…

At the end of my post about Cardi B’s stellar Best Dressed/Wear What You Want style at Sunday’s Grammys, I promised that my next post would be about the best of the rest. Then my mind momentarily went blank, because who could compare to Cardi? Once I took a deep breath, I remembered that there…
