Leader of the Pack
I was amused by yesterday’s New York Times article about how round sunglasses are the hot look this summer. Here’s how it starts: “Was it only last year that round sunglasses were considered square? The hot eyewear look of 2008 was pretty much defined by plastic Wayfarer knockoffs, garish neon trapezoids often seen color-coordinated with…
Look Over There!
I’m not really here today, I’m at my Francis blog. But I want to thank gorgeous blogger Belle de Ville of Beverly Hills Branchee for the fabulous post about the new blog (and for reminding me to add her to my blog roll). If any of you other gorgeous bloggers post about Francis, let me…
Sunday Styles Strikes Again
You’d think that after this recent post, I would have stopped reading the non-fashion articles in the Sunday Styles section of the New York Times. I know I should avoid exposure to quotes from incredibly annoying people, but I still couldn’t resist last Sunday’s section. The latest irksome article, about abandoned blogs, was called Blogs…

What Really Grinds My Gears
I’ve mentioned my love for the animated series Family Guy before. On one episode, Peter Griffin gets his own segment on the local news called “What Really Grinds My Gears.” Take a look. The incest/period portion of that clip isn’t relevant to my post today. I don’t even have a brother, for God’s sake! You…
