Today was all about Ossie Clark. Ossie obsessives like gorgeous blogger Sharon Rose know that the late designer, who was never good with money, sold his financially troubled line to clothing manufacturer Al Radley in the ’70s. (A large percentage of the vintage Ossies floating around nowadays are from the Ossie Clark for Radley line.)…

Oh, Happy Day!
My gorgeous sister, Terri Berry, emailed me to let me know my story made it to the Marie Claire homepage. I’m almost as noticeable as the bra ad! If stalking a homepage for you isn’t love, I don’t know what love is.
Friends and Family Report
My gorgeous friend (and jewelry-selling assistant) Shawn Love has written, produced and directed a play! “Raw Love” had its first staged reading tonight. Guess who her costume designer is? Keep guessing till you say “Wendy Brandes.” That is the correct answer. Shawn during rehearsal. “Um, yeah, I don’t see that line in the script.” Shawn…
TV Alert
Whatcha doing tonight? Spending quality time with the family, you say? Ha! I knew you weren’t doing anything important. You have no excuse not to watch this ProPublica/60 Minutes report on the U.S.-funded Alhurra television network, which spews anti-American propaganda in the Middle East, with a dash of Holocaust denial to add flava. If you…

Our Favorite Flavor? Crackberry!
Even when traveling, we never leave work behind. ENC caught MrB and me doing the email thing at the San Diego Zoo yesterday. In our defense, we were waiting for her to emerge from the restroom. It’s not like we were ignoring the pandas, koalas and giant anteaters. We gave them plenty of attention. In…

Please note that I will beat a bitch’s ass if anyone else tries to tag me with this. I’m supposed to put the rules here, but I’m not going to….
Living High on the iHog … in Latex
It has belatedly occurred to me that not everyone understands what the iHog (aka Fernando von Bakonstein) is about. You people should be ashamed of yourselves. DON’T YOU KNOW WHO HE IS?!? No? Oh. Then click here and here. After a busy Saturday spent sightseeing and hog-nogging with an Oscar nominee, Fernando and I were…
Does Daddy Likey? Plus, Serious Stuff.
Does this Antik Batik dress qualify me for the Don’t Show-Cha Your Chocha feature, Winona? Hello! Goodbye! I wore this to a dinner for the Overseas Press Club Awards last night, where I had the pleasure of bumping into glamorous author Tracy Quan. Tracy and her friend Keith. MrB gave the keynote speech with Fernando…
