I still haven’t recovered from the Times of London’s chimichanga-flashing interview of date-rape-apologist Helen Mirren, but I did enjoy this fully-clothed interview the paper conducted with my almost-husband, Paul McCartney. I do think Paul (and everyone else) should stop worrying about fools who still gripe about who broke up the Beatles. Many of us have…

America’s Lost Band: The Remains
I’ve become intrigued by The Remains, a ’60s group that opened for the Beatles, appeared on Ed Sullivan, put out one album and then broke up. Photo source There’s a Remains documentary called America’s Lost Band that I would love to see. Meanwhile, I’m definitely getting Ticket to Ride, a book about that 1966 tour…
Foxy Lady
I know this was a terrible experience for the victim of a rabid-fox attack, but I can’t help laughing a little at the idea of a jogger running a mile with a fox clamped onto her arm. Speaking of foxes, here’s the latest addition to my men’s collection. I call this fox-and-grapes combo “Aesop’s Shirt…
Tag Guilt Is Accumulating

The rest of y’all will have to keep waiting. Sorry! Five things in my bag/purse: Blackberry Business cards MAC Lasting Lust Business…
Yma Sumac Dies
The fabulous Peruvian singer Yma Sumac has died at 86. Check out some of her old looks. Glamorous, no? If you don’t know who she is, read her New York Times obituary, which has some highlarious details, including: “She soon played Carnegie Hall, flanked onstage by two miniature erupting volcanoes.” Now my ambition is to…
The Real Stuff
Madonna was wearing some awesome arm bands during her concerts this week. That reminded me I’d been meaning to share this real latex (not just latex-looking) arm band from Betty La Bamba with you. Keep an eye on Betty’s Etsy shop for other genuine latex items.
The Hardest-Working Woman in Show Biz
Here are two pictures I took of Madonna in concert at Madison Square Garden Tuesday night. Every time I see her perform, I think, “I really must work out more.” Anyone who wondered why I failed to wear rubber bangles to the show can read my sad reason here.

Same rolled-up Acne jeans Old Prada bootsSplendid t-shirtVintage Stephen Sprouse jacket I was having some serious ’80s nostalgia so I got out my earrings from 1984: the heart-locket earring you see Madonna wearing in the Borderline video, and a guitar-pick earring given to me by the first…

Glovely Jennifer Lopez
I just noticed that in her 2004 Play video, Jennifer Lopez wore both fingerless gloves and finger-only gloves — a couple of years before those looks became more widespread.
