For those of you who are too young to have seen Brooke Shields in the 1980 Calvin Klein TV ad that caused a scandal, here it is. UPDATED TO ADD: How thrilled am I that the Manolo enjoyed this too! The Manolo’s shoe blog was the first fashion blog I ever read. I am delighted…

Miscellaneous
A few random things: Thank you to Shannon at Jewelry Division Public Relations blog, who said some nice things about my work. Check it out! I am so entertained by If I Blog It They Will Come. This is a must-see! Almost as thrilling as the J-Lo Kiss My Ass video. Thanks to the Manolo…
Trendi Wendy
Trendi likes my Juana ring. Trendi Blog said some really nice things about my work. Go check it out! Thanks, Trendi! The blog is part of Trendi.com, a fashion site that’s launching this fall. Click here for more information. Trendi Wendy isn’t as amusing as Terri Berry, but I still like it.
Another Day…
Another fashion blogger, another pair of American Apparel leggings. Sunday Girl bucked the trend, though, and went for the gold. Looking good! (Photo from Sunday Girl’s Beautiful Garbage blog.) Queen of the Posh and Broke also has a new latex post. And the latest issue of People Magazine shows Ashley Olsen and Mischa Barton wearing…
Thursday Book Club: Kristin Lavransdatter
I had intended to continue with the wives of Henry VIII today, but I wanted to re-read a book about Catherine of Aragon. So, instead, I present to you Kristin Lavrandatter by Nobel prize-winning Norwegian author Sigrid Undset, a master of historical fiction. I visited Norway in July. I’d been pining for the fjords for…
So FASH’on Is So Nice
Diana, the DIY queen of So FASH’on, passed along this cool badge to me. Now I get to pass it along to five other bloggers. So here you go, ladies! In Yr Fshn, because she’s the future accessories editor of Vogue and I must curry favor while I can. Modern Marie, because I can never…
The San Francisco Treat
Continuing my tour of fashion bloggers around the world (“Coming Soon To Your City!”), I hit San Francisco last weekend to meet Jennine of The Coveted. Photos don’t do her justice. She was even more beautiful in person than on the blog, though I didn’t recognize her for a second because of the brand-new bangs….
More Latex Lovers
While I’m mentioning other blogs, I wanted to comment on the continued growth of the latex look. I can’t wait to see Agathe wear her latex dress on Style Bytes. Jennine at The Coveted went for the American Apparel leggings. This young lady looked beautiful on The Sartorialist. I’m amused that I kept a pair…
Two Posts I Wish I Wrote
I am just back from San Francisco and need some time to work on my S.F. post, plus tomorrow’s book club post. So for now, let me refer you to these two great and incredibly well-researched posts. The first is Dorkas’s post on l’Inconnue de la Seine. The second is The Stiletto Effect’s post on…
Media Alert: The Coveted in the Chronicle
Jennine of The Coveted is quoted in the San Francisco Chronicle! Hmmm. I have to say I wish the reporter’s tone was a little nicer. Here’s the passage: “‘I will not be attending S.F. Fashion Week,’ begins a rant on www.thecoveted.blogspot.com, which was later picked up as a link on several other fashion blogs. ‘I…
