My gorgeous friend Cheryl Tan is a real journalist, and she’s in Milan, blogging her little fingers off. Go read her shizz or I’ll open a can of J. Lo on your ass! That’s Cheryl on the right, giving me ‘tude. Earlier this month, Bryanboy (motto: “I’m so gay I sweat glitter”) did an interesting…

Giving You the Boot
I’m trying to avoid going into stores so that I’m not tempted to spend. Things are so much more enticing in person than they are online. I went into Barneys recently and I thought I was going to start licking the purses on the first floor. They looked so delicious. But I have new jewelry…
Butt Bows Iz Back in Fashun
I like lolcats. I like PostSecret. Therefore, I like lolsecretz. Here’s a lolWendy for you. That’s a vintage Guy Laroche gown. I would guess ’80s, wouldn’t you?
For Social Butterflies Only
You shy people better move along. Nothing to see here. For the more daring fashionistas, I present the supersize Butterfly Ring. (Butterfly Ring © Wendy Brandes 2007-2008) (Photo by John Muggenborg) The ring is 3″ at its widest point and 2 1/2″ high. The sample was made with blackened sterling silver and set with CZ….
He’s Ba-a-a-ck! Again!
Designer Todd Oldham has a new fashion project: creative director for Old Navy. Oldham’s been doing all kinds of things for years, ranging from costume design to floral design to home furnishings design. But whenever I see his name, I get nostalgic for his supermodel-filled runway shows in the ’90s. I feel the same nostalgia…
Naughty, Stylish Audrey Horne
Who killed Laura Palmer? In 1990, I was totally obsessed with David Lynch’s show Twin Peaks. Set in the eerie fictional town of Twin Peaks, Wash., it starred Kyle MacLachlan, who might be more familiar to you youngsters as Trey on Sex and the City and Orson on Desperate Housewives. He played Dale Cooper, an…
The Footwear Creeps in on Little Mouse Feet
Fasshonburu pointed out these mouse shoes by the late Marc Jacobs (he’s not really dead, just late, so please stop crying). I asked myself, “Self, would mouse feet make you happy?” But upon serious reflection, I realized that only fish feet will do. Alas. “Jaws Platform Pumps” aren’t going to appease me either. Fish or…
Amusing Gift Ideas From Noted Co.
Noted Co. wholesales fun little things to museums, gift shops and snazzy toy stores. I was very taken by the Japanese papercraft kits. All of the pieces have moving parts, which I love, but the darkly humorous names are even better. The fish and carving knife piece pictured is called “Doomed.” Click here to find…
Fish Feet. I Want Them.
Christian Louboutin still hasn’t sent me these delightful shoes despite my helpful hints on this blog. Now Shoewawa tortures me with this post. Bad Shoewawa! How could anyone fail to see how perfect my life would be if only I had fish feet? My previous fishy posts: August 23 August 29
Blogs Are Getting So Much Respect…
… that soon they will be considered Old Media and the bloggers will be complaining about a passel of New New Media whippersnappers eating their lunch! Speaking of meals, ParisBreakfasts pointed out a gushy Herald Trib story on fashion bloggers. Congrats to everyone mentioned in it, but I hope this Chris Cholette fella didn’t have…
