A gorgeous friend who is aware of my “Never is the next new thing™” fashion philosophy asked me last week what the next new thing would be. I said that I didn’t know because I didn’t see anything that would provoke the “I would NEVER wear that!” reaction that has predicted fashion trends including skinny…

Marc Jacobs Still Hates Me
I don’t know what I did to Marc Jacobs but he still hates me. He expresses this hatred with naked pictures, because he knows I don’t like to buy things from naked people. Here is Marc’s latest naked picture, courtesy of Fashion Indie. Marc hasn’t hated on me like this since August and December of…
Outfit Post: Some Things Old, Some Things Blue
It took me nearly two years, but I finally wore the white lace Dolce & Gabbana coat that I bought from Trudie Styler (aka Mrs. Sting) thanks to some styling tips from gorgeous blogger/designer Stacy Lomman of taffetadarlings. In fact, I wore the coat two ways in one day. For our friends’ anniversary party at…
Outfit Post: Malaysians Bring the Par-Tay
Warning: If Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx and the prime minister of Malaysia are dancing on stage together, move aside quickly. Ladies in pink head scarves will cut a bitch who gets in the way of their picture-taking. I learned this the hard way on Friday at a dinner at The St. Regis hotel in honor…
Where to Buy the SATC2 Earrings
I’m so excited about seeing my Cleopatra earrings in the Sex and the City 2 trailer that I can barely think of anything else. The extended trailer is on YouTube and you can see the earrings on Samantha (Kim Cattrall) at 1:35 and 1:37. She’s wearing her hair down and wavy, which looks great with…
Meet Byron Lars
Last month, I told you how my treasured Byron Lars baseball vest inspired me to track down Byron himself. As I said in that post, Byron was one of the precocious New York-based male designers who won great acclaim in the late ’80s and early ’90s, only to go out of business before the ’90s…
Oscars Memory: Red Carpet With George Clooney
Okay, I wasn’t really WITH George Clooney, but I was pretty close to him. Here’s a photo of George doing his thing on the Oscar red carpet in 2006 while I lurk seductively in the background. My real date was MrB. I wore the same Zang Toi gown to an Obama inaugural party in 2009,…
If I Were Nominated for Best Original Score…
…I’d wear this dress by Agatha Ruiz de la Prada to the Oscars. Oscar red carpet coverage starts at 6 PM EST tomorrow on E!
Having a Ting Tings Moment en Español
MrB surprised me tonight with the February issue of the Spanish magazine Leer (“leer” means “to read” in Spanish): in an article on November’s Committee to Protect Journalists dinner, there’s a photo of me in my Zang Toi gown. First Bill Cunningham, now Leer! I owe it all to Zang. MrB and I were awed…
Belated New York Fashion Week Tales
Like I said in a previous post, I was pretty busy during New York Fashion Week. When I wasn’t busy, I was delirious. I managed to squeeze in a few shows but, unfortunately, not Vena Cava‘s. I was getting dressed that morning with one eye on the computer when the news of Alexander McQueen’s suicide…
