Here’s something for Throwback Thursday: I started blogging eight years ago today. It’s my blogversary! My first post, published on July 23, 2007, was called “Just a placeholder” because I thought I was going to be too busy to devote any time to blogging. Two days later, I found out that Britney Spears had left…

Musical Interlude: Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj and Miley Cyrus
I’ve been meaning to write about the Taylor Swift concert I attended on July 11, when I had to chaperone a major fangurl all the way to MetLife Stadium in New Jersey … … but I was lazy about getting all my concert photos watermarked. However, there’s no time like the present to get organized,…
Told You So … You Need Leg Jewelry!
Last month, when I officially introduced my 18K gold and platinum barbed wire ankle bracelets, I said it was time for leg jewelry to heat up. I wrote: “While anklets have been around since ancient times and are still a perennial in some cultures, in the U.S. they’ve gone in and out of fashion. I…
Musical Interlude: Marina, Bjork and Lana del Rey
Because it is Lana del Rey’s 30th birthday (ah, youth!), it’s time for me to post a few photos of her performance at the Governors Ball music festival earlier this month. The three-day, four-stage festival takes place on New York City’s Randall’s Island, and I was there for two days with my concert-going friend Jessie….
Werq, Caitlyn Jenner!
Bruce Jenner has left the building, and Caitlyn Jenner is looking fierce on the cover of Vanity Fair’s July issue. A lot of people pointed out Caitlyn’s resemblance to actress Jessica Lange, who played the hot Supreme Witch on American Horror Story: Coven. Surgeon: “how fierce do you want to look” #CaitlynJenner : “Like a…
Balmain Vs Nasty Gal; Billboard Music Awards
This story is giving me LIFE, as the kids say today! On Sunday, Taylor Swift wore a white, cut-out jumpsuit to the Billboard Music Awards, and retailer Nasty Gal proudly claimed credit for it, as one does when a celebrity wears one’s designs.

My Best Dressed at the 2015 Met Gala Is …
First, let me ask … … got into people at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala last night? In 2013, when the gala celebrated the opening of the “Punk: Chaos to Couture” exhibit, I was let down by the dearth of crazy, punk-inspired fashion. There were a lot of standard-issue, red-carpet ballgowns that…
Gorgeous Gong Li at the Met Gala
I’m happy to see Chinese actress Gong Li looking stunning as always at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute gala tonight. View image | gettyimages.com She is one of the co-chairs of the event, which marks the opening of the spring fashion exhibit, called “China: Through the Looking Glass.” I love that she combined…
Bruce Jenner: The Interview
At the end of Diane Sawyer’s interview with Bruce Jenner*, Sawyer referred to one of Jenner’s post-Olympian books, in which he wrote that everyone should have a one-sentence mission statement. Sawyer said Bruce defined his mission statement now as “to provide understanding and tolerance toward people.” Well, Bruce can pat himself on the back because…
You’ve Cat to Be Kitten Me! Random Thoughts.
I can’t believe that I wrote about Ariana Grande’s signature cat-ear headbands AND her breakup with rapper boyfriend Big Sean yesterday without mentioning Sean’s song “Stay Down.” I was so engrossed in using my stud letter earrings to spell the abbreviation for “I Don’t Fuck With You” — Sean’s hostile ode to a previous ex…
