Tonight! 8 p.m. (ET)! NBC! You need to watch The Blacklist, starring James Spader. One of my jewelry designs is making a guest appearance in Season 8, Episode 16. I’m not giving anything away the jewel’s identity yet … and neither is the trailer. My jewelry shot its scenes last month, so I was surprised…

My Best Dressed at the 2021 Oscars Is …
I’ve written before my lifelong love for DayGlo colors. Photos prove that I favor neon-pink for special occasions, like the first day of my last year of high school. Seriously! Check out my 1984 first-day-of-school top by Guess, peeking out from under my popped-collar denim jacket. Twenty-nine years later, I wore a fancy version of…
My Best Dressed at the 2021 SAG Awards Is …
I didn’t tune in to the Screen Actors Guild Awards last night because this year’s virtual ceremony — a pre-recorded, hour-long Zoom — wasn’t particularly appealing, but I’m glad I checked out the fashion after the fact.

The winner of my Best Dressed/Wear What You Want award for the 2020 Grammys is Billy Porter and his fabulous mechanical hat! Yeah, I said 2020. I know the 2021 Grammys ceremony was on last night, and I’ll get to that eventually, but I’m a wee bit behind! There was a lot going on when…
Throwback Thursday: Madonna’s Leather Haring Jacket
Madonna needs to let me rummage around in her closet because I’ve been blogging about her pieces by artist Keith Haring — one by one — for 10 years. I need to take a complete inventory, because this is getting ridiculous. In 2010, I reminisced about the covetable Keith Haring skirt Madonna wore in her…
Met Gala Monday: Nothing But ’90s Memories

Super Halftime: The Shakira & J. Lo Show
The Shakira and Jennifer Lopez Super Concert on Sunday was so much more meaningful than I expected! I’m told there was some kind of big sports event before and after their performance, and — if that’s correct — I just hope both sides had fun. More importantly, we had two Latinx women headlining the show…
My Best Dressed at the 2020 Golden Globes Is …
A confession: The title of this post is misleading, because I am not interested in what most people consider “best dressed” at a celebrity-heavy event such as last night’s Golden Globes. Years ago, I decided the world needed a Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award, which I bestow upon an attendee who dares to…
