At dinner last night, my gorgeous friend Angela had the bartender do a customized margarita in my honor. We haven’t finalized the recipe yet, so I can’t reveal the blog-inspired name of my drink. It’s not the WendyB. Drink by AngelaTop by Francis by Christian Francis Roth Enchiladas by Papatzul

Congrats to Zang Toi, CFR and … Me!

Hey, Hey Charla
I’d like to dedicate this craptacular photo of myself — inching into my 41st year in a too-short skirt and red lipstick — to my pink-lipglossed nemesis, How Not to Look Old author Charla Krupp. I’m wearing a vintage Christian Francis Roth jacket for my 41st birthday, which is today.Yeah, I’m old, sluts!Deal with it….

Christian Francis Roth Comes Back
My friend Christian Francis Roth held the show for his new line, Francis, at noon today. All the big department store buyers were there, taking copious notes.
