Royal Dolls
Thanks to gorgeous blogger Chic and Charming for introducing me to the work of Lisa Perrin. Lisa sells her amazing paper dolls on Etsy. Of course I love her Anne Boleyn and Marie Antoinette dolls. But Lizzie Borden is my favorite. Nice axe! Check out the rest of them here.
Ask WendyB
Gorgeous blogger Winona of Daddy Likey does a great feature called Inadvertently Ask Daddy Likey, for which she offers highlarious “answers” to questions inadvertently posed by search terms people use to find her blog. Here’s Winona.Ain’t she cute? I was thinking of Winona’s feature because search terms with question marks keep appearing in my stats….
Patrick Kelly Has Landed
I want to get more emails like the one I recently got from gorgeous client Melissa. She was so enthused about the leopard-spotted Patrick Kelly dress I posted about that she sniped it from eBay.

On Sunday, I had the great pleasure of dining with gorgeous blogger Deja Pseu and her handsome husband Mr. Pseu.

Some reading material for you. Holy shizz! A real-life Golden Girls meeting! I’m jealous. Love this anti-hater rant from Oscar winner Diablo Cody. You tell them, girl! (But don’t forget, if they hate you, you’re doing something right. As Katt Williams says, “You need haters…what the fuck is you complaining about?”) Here’s the rest of…

The Prodigal Bumpe Returns
Last year, when I wrote about my 9/11 experience here, I mentioned how — adding minor insult to major injury — Bumpe the cow disappeared from my abandoned office at Lehman Brothers. Bumpe Let’s take a moment to reflect on the type of person who loots a stuffed cow (as well as laptops, loose change…
