Somewhere, a Peacock Curses Me
As you saw in my previous post, I packed up my feathery shawl and went to D.C. for the evening to attend an inaugural party thrown by The Root. The green gown is by my designing friend Zang Toi. He made two peacock accessories to go with it: the shawl and a fan. I wore…

The Great Pink Hype
Guess what! Daddy-funded, 16-year-old fashion “designer” Kira Plastinina will close most of her 12 U.S. stores due to poor demand and the craptastic economy. Now can I stop hearing about her “talent”? An obsession with pink is not “talent.” Kthxbai. UPDATED TO ADD: A few words from Shophound.
