Make believe…

October 30, 2009

that I have an answer already. A plan. A direction, for crying out loud. Or let’s pretend I have a gazillion bucks to spend, a mailbox full of invites to swanky soirées, and a stomach that’s not in knots. If that were the case, here’s what I’d buy in the next five minutes, aside from [...]

Words of Wisdom

October 30, 2009

Some cleverly-worded advice from Nine Unforgivable Fashion Crimes, published in the November 2009 issue of Harper’s Bazaar (US edition). THE POLITE PUMP It’s not a season for mumsy shoes. It’s a season for shoes that you may need Olympic training to wear (exhibit A: the Louis Vuitton boots our murderess literally killed for). We are [...]

Homage to Halloween: Plastic Surgery Horrors

October 29, 2009

I so wish I could not blog about this, but I have to. I can’t not do it, because it’s so freaky and bizarre. So I’ve filed this under Homage to Halloween: Plastic Surgery Horrors. Real-life masks, if you will. Here we go. Back in the day, Carrot Top used to live in my neck [...]

Daydreaming

October 28, 2009

Just spotted this fab necklace on The New York Times blog, The Moment: So hot. But I’m wondering…if I wore it on one of my international flights to Oz, how much shit would airport security give me?

StyleShot: Katy Perry

October 27, 2009

Did Ms. Katy get herself a stylist? Or a new stylist, perhaps? Or did Russell Brand pick out this number? Cause this is what she should be wrapping her hot little bod in! Katy finally got it right: keep the crazy colors and patterns limited to accessories, even if said accessory is a fantastically large [...]

Fashion Weekend in Sydney

October 26, 2009

I swear, every awesome fashion event that happens in Sydney, I’m on the wrong damn side of the planet! Even if I’m only gone a few weeks, that’s when there’s some killer event happening that I can’t attend. Here’s another one I’m going to miss…but maybe you Sydneysiders can take advantage!

Typical Girl

October 24, 2009

That’s what the superkawaii Target cashier said to me when she rang up my purchase: Then she said, “The only thing missing is chocolate,” to which I responded with a laugh, then reassured her, “Actually, it’s not.

StyleShot: Dita Von Teese

October 23, 2009

I know. More Dita. I just can’t help it…she is just pale perfection. And it was either more Dita, or a post about the benefits of letting your nails breathe for a week between polishes. I think Dita is a far nicer image. (But you really should let your nails breathe every once in a [...]

They Googled what?

October 21, 2009

Every once in a while I like to check my keyword stats to see what brings new visitors to my blog. I am never disappointed by the curious keyword searches some people embark upon. Below is a screen shot of some recent queries: Sorry I wasn’t more help with “ho clothes,” but LiLo and Ungaro [...]

Enough already!

October 21, 2009

Don’t know about ya’ll, but the thought of one more celebrity unleashing one more bottle of fragrance on the world is enough to make me want to quit fragrance altogether. Maybe I shouldn’t be so harsh, after all, my all-time favorite (and now discontinued fragrance), Youth Dew Amber Nude by Tom Ford, was hatched by [...]
