I do have a passion for highlarious fashion, so I have to thank singer Rita Ora and Fashion Bomb Daily for introducing me to the art/fashion/performance art of The Rodnik Band via Rita’s cheese-slice dress. The Rodnik Band is designed by Philip Colbert, who was interviewed by the site Not Just a Label. The introduction to…

You know when you’re shopping for clothes or shoes and you see something awesome but then you think, “If I got that, I’d need a whole new wardrobe to go with it”? Well, because I’m a helpful person, I have a list of accessories that you’ll require if you’re considering buying these Jeffrey Campbell shoes…
The Return of the Butt Bow
I haven’t seen a butt bow that’s rocked my world for a long time, but I just spotted this 1984 Yves Saint Laurent on 1stdibs.com. Size matters. The YSL definitely outshines my own Guy Laroche butt-bow dress. However, the winner and new champion of the butt-bow fashion stakes is clearly my new niece, Sabrina Berry….
A Mustache’s Passing
I’ve posted before about the reasons I still read newspapers on actual paper. For instance, in 2010, I wrote: “I enthusiastically use teh Interwebs to stay informed, but I’m highly aware of how easy it is to select only what you want to read. That’s why I read on paper too. The mere act of…
Can’t Make Up Your Mind?
Feeling indecisive today? Can’t decide what shoes to wear, what book to read or what to do with the rest of your life? Describe your quandary in the comments, and I will make the decision for you. I’m like Mattel’s Magic 8 Ball without all the shaking. (Follow my advice at your own risk!)
Stylish Hillary Clinton, Moving at the Speed of Light
Forget about the wrinkly elbows. Realizing I had missed last week’s hot new Internet meme/website made me feel old and out of touch. The fact that I only learned of it today by reading the quaint paper version of the New York Times pegs me as ancient. (Damn! When have I ever needed to learn…
When Fashion Goes Right
When fashion works, you feel transformed: The LOLcat image is from I Can Has Cheezburger. Since the Wall Street Journal wrote about the original LOLcat site in 2007, Cheezburger has grown into what the New York Times called a “web empire.” One of my favorite Cheezburger-owned sites is This is Photobomb. Gorgeous blogger Jennine of…
Need a Laugh? Try Stewie and Peter From Family Guy.
This Family Guy clip is guaranteed to make me laugh no matter what kind of mood I’m in. It’s from an episode in which Peter (the dad) gets in touch with his feminine side. Stewie’s reaction to being breastfed is among my favorite Family Guy moments. It’s a very “2 Girls 1 Cup” response. Family…
Papa John’s, the “Lady Chinky Eyes” Receipt, Stupid Comments
A gorgeous lady named Minhee, who works at MrB’s company here in New York, went to a Papa John’s pizza restaurant last night. Today, she glanced at the receipt and noticed that it called her “lady chinky eyes.” So she did what you do with such things these days. She tweeted it. The Huffington Post…
This Week’s Obsession: Marcel the Shell With Shoes On
These videos of Marcel the Shell With Shoes On have been out for a while. The first one was posted in 2010, and the second one was posted last month. I watched them then, so I’m not sure why I’ve watched them over and over this week. Maybe Marcel is just a good antidote to…
