FAIL.
Just say no to Courtney Love in an Ossie Clark dress. (I have the same style, different colors.)
Book Club: Empress Matilda, Part I
Greetings from Paris! Did you think Thursday Book Club was gone forever? Au contraire, mes freres! I haven’t been slacking; I’ve been working like a chien to bring you a good post. Yep, I’ve been working this hard. I previously mentioned the English Civil War of the 1600s. If you search online for English Civil…
YSL Getty Wedge
I love the “dripping paint” effect on this shoe. It’s available in brown at Barneys for $690. The black pair is listed on Bluefly for $469, but don’t get too excited: there were no sizes listed in the dropdown menu when I looked.

This thing sucks.” Thanks to McGone of International House of Blogcakes for generously sharing the…
I, Max.
My gorgeous sister Terri Berry and her handsome husband Tim Berry are the proud parents of a rescued Pekingese named Max. When they first got him, I congratulated her on his unique name. Then I suggested she liven it up by giving him a middle initial and last name too. “Max E. Pad” has a…
No Such Thing as Bad Publicity? Let’s Test!
The people at Orna & Rinat Jewelry keep spamming my comment section. They just did it again although I had emailed them and warned them to stop, receiving this amusingly ESL answer from them on April 11: Sorry I stop to send you info about my site eran Eran, you promised that you would “stop…
