It looks like singers Rihanna and Chris Brown are back together, even though he ruined her Grammy night last month by giving her an ugly makeover with his fists. I’m hoping she’s trying to lure him into a false sense of security so she can get her revenge. I suggest she stash him in a…

Meeting My Accountant Today
Got this song by the Kinks stuck in my head. “The tax man’s taken all my dough,And left me in my stately home,lazing on a sunny afternoon.”Speaking of ’60s bands, there’s a trailer out for America’s Lost Band, the documentary on the Remains. After watching it, I decided that the Remains had to be four…
Just Dicking Around
Comedian Roseanne Barr (as she formerly was known; now she is just “Roseanne“) had a great line: “People say I should be more feminine – well, they can suck my dick.” Here’s some more dick for you. Tricky Dick Dick in a can Dick in a box Dick Cheney on Family Guy Kathy “Knock the…
She Made Me Do It
A Proust Questionnaire, answered by a famous person, is always on the last page of Vanity Fair magazine. As Vanity Fair describes it, “The questionnaire has its origins in a parlor game popularized (though not devised) by Marcel Proust (1871 – 1922), the French essayist and novelist, who believed that, in answering these questions, an…
Classic Carly Simon
People have been asking Carly Simon to tell them who inspired “You’re So Vain” since the song was a No. 1 hit in 1973. “You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte.” I’ve always loved Carly’s sexy-hippy ’70s style. The cover of her 1971 Anticipation album From the cover of her…
Somewhere, a Peacock Curses Me
As you saw in my previous post, I packed up my feathery shawl and went to D.C. for the evening to attend an inaugural party thrown by The Root. The green gown is by my designing friend Zang Toi. He made two peacock accessories to go with it: the shawl and a fan. I wore…
Jack and Rack
A great thing about coming in third in the 2008 Weblog Award’s Best Fashion Blog category is that I didn’t have to fulfill my promise to celebrate a first-place finish with one-armed push-ups a la 73-year-old Jack Palance on Oscar night. I’ve attempted a one-armed push-up. I’m pretty sure my effort failed, though the concussion…
Third Place Is as Good as Winning
My peeps, I didn’t win, but I am feeling very good about coming in third in the Best Fashion Blog category in the 2008 Weblog Awards (I guess it’s as official as it’s going to be at this point). I am just a little personal blog, while the winner and the runner-up are big, high-traffic…
Asked and Answered Again
Don’t forget to keep voting for me for Best Fashion Blogger of 2008! I won’t be able to miraculously generate thousands of votes in a couple of hours (hmmm) but I’d like to still have a strong showing. In my second campaign speech, I offered to answer any questions you had. I answered the first…
The Next Editor of Vogue?
The editors at the glossy fashion magazines have had a hard time deciding how to approach the economic downturn. There have been some forced-sounding articles on shopping at Target and “in your closet.” It’s time to bring in Ice-T. My main pimp, looking stylish in a $100 suit, sounded off to New York Magazine about…
