A Pretty Face, Poetic & Chic and Freelancer’s Fashionblog tagged me with this book meme, for which I must pick up the nearest book, turn to page 123, find the fifth sentence and post the next three sentences. The book is Katherine Swynford: The History of a Medieval Mistress by Jeannette Lucraft, which I previously…

More Music Meme-i-Ness
Gorgeous blogger Luxe tagged me to share seven songs that I’m into right now. I already shared my “seven songs for spring” but it’s summer now so I guess I’ll give it a whirl. Here are seven songs I listened to yesterday at the gym. I Kissed a Girl by Katy Perry Light My Candle…
Oh Bondage Up Yours!
I’m tempted by this denim bondage skirt by Warhol Factory X Levis. It’s on sale at Barneys for $139, down from $200. It’s tricky to link to so just go to barneys.com and search for “bondage skirt.” “Oh Bondage Up Yours!” is my favorite song by 1970s British punk band X-Ray Spex. Poly Styrene, X-Ray…

Friends and Family Report
My gorgeous friend (and jewelry-selling assistant) Shawn Love has written, produced and directed a play! “Raw Love” had its first staged reading tonight. Guess who her costume designer is? Keep guessing till you say “Wendy Brandes.” That is the correct answer. Shawn during rehearsal. “Um, yeah, I don’t see that line in the script.” Shawn…
TV Alert
Whatcha doing tonight? Spending quality time with the family, you say? Ha! I knew you weren’t doing anything important. You have no excuse not to watch this ProPublica/60 Minutes report on the U.S.-funded Alhurra television network, which spews anti-American propaganda in the Middle East, with a dash of Holocaust denial to add flava. If you…
