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…
iHog Gets a Haircut (Vicariously)
Fernando came with me to see hairstylist-to-the-stars Keith Carpenter. Having a pig around made us silly. Voila! An even shaggier ‘do. Does it remind you of Shelly Duvall‘s? Just a bit? Keith kept telling me to stop laughing. Do these Versace pants match the lamp growing out of my head? We went to dinner at…
Gorgeous and Delicious
My gorgeous friend Kara is also very tasty. Her pug, Finn, can’t get enough of her. Finn! Leave some for the rest of us. Kara and Finn Kara and Finn live in DC, where they are enjoying the cherry blossoms. Thanks for sending the photos, you two! Nature photos by Kara UPDATED TO ADD: How…
Encore Presentation
So nice I had to see them twice! Just a week after meeting the gorgeous Ms. and Mr. Observationmode in New York, I was lucky enough to see them again in Los Angeles. This time, MrB was able to join us for dinner at Ago. From left, MrB, MsOM, WendyB and MrOM aka Greenbeard Thanks…
Bloggyweds
This was my lucky week: two visits from California bloggers! Last night, I had dinner at Butter with gorgeous newlyweds Elizabeth and Dave of Observationmode. (Well, technically, Elizabeth is Observationmode and Dave is Mr. Observationmode.) The talented Craig from Altamira NYC was my date and our photographer. Craig! You should have told me that I…
Out and About With the Stay at Home Mom
The gorgeous Leah of Style for the Stay at Home Mom came to town and we hit the downtown stores yesterday. Leah wanted to investigate Uniqlo (aka the Japanese Gap), so we started there. We weren’t particularly impressed by the merchandise. Even worse, I took what I thought was a good photo of Leah but…
America’s Next Top Model: WendyB
Yesterday I was doing a photo shoot with Marie Claire for a portrait to accompany an essay I wrote for the magazine (I’ll let you know when it’s time to buy my issue). As you may have noticed, I’m always very smiley in photos, but the magazine wanted a “serious” look. I thought I had…
Any Friend of Andy’s Is a Friend of Mine
I sneaked off to Miami for the weekend, where Paul and I had dinner with our brilliant friend Andy Tobias. Andy has a blog and was kind enough to mention me in the same breath as Warren Buffett and the late William Buckley Jr. I assure you that Andy and I are both aware of…
Mizrahi, Oldham, Roth, Magic and Loony
Back in the ’90s, young designers Isaac Mizrahi, Todd Oldham and Christian Francis Roth were fashion stars. They were awesome. They didn’t make enough money to stay in business, but they were awesome. I last wrote about these designing men in September, when Oldham was named creative director for Old Navy. Earlier this month, Mizrahi…
