What I’m Feeling Now: Grateful

May 27th, 2009

Just a quick note: I’m on a sum­mer sched­ule now, so I’ll be post­ing only once a week until Sep­tem­ber…
Grate­ful is a state of being, and I’m in it. Our eldest son, Josh, just returned from a sojourn to Japan (Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto). It was a two-week excur­sion taken upon the com­ple­tion of his […]

Btw, NYT’s Editors, It’s Not the First Time…

May 18th, 2009

Mau­reen Dowd is in hot water at The NYT today. It seems that she may (or may not, depend­ing on your POV) have lifted one of her quips directly from the thoughts of another blog­ger, Talk­ing Points Memo edi­tor, John Mar­shall. A huge brou-ha-ha has ensued, and the out­come has yet to be deter­mined. I […]

Do’s and Cannes Don’ts

May 18th, 2009

Actress Tan Zhuo took this lovely Roberto Cav­alli Spring 2009 gown and paired it with a far bolder choice than the one the designer chose on the run­way. Which do you like bet­ter? The gown’s full­ness is bal­anced by the elab­o­rate neck­lace. It also accen­tu­ates Zhuo’s wil­lowy stature, mak­ing her appear del­i­cate and strong, […]

May 13th, 2009

Last week’s Met Gala at The Met­ro­pol­i­tan Museum of Art in New York was its usual photo-op affair for celebri­ties and mod­els, with empha­sis on those taller-than-thou since they were the focus of the new exhi­bi­tion, Mod­els as Muse: Embody­ing Fash­ion. Vet­eran designer and model men­tor, Azze­dine Alaia, was not included in the show and […]

Southern Roots and Jewelry

May 12th, 2009

Hey there, I’m back. Jack­son, Mis­sis­sippi is absolutely brim­ming with warm and friendly peo­ple who LOVE jew­elry, good con­ver­sa­tion, and great food. The ladies of the Mis­sis­sippi Sym­phony League work hard at their phil­an­thropy — their effort can be seen and felt through­out the city. This was my first trip to the state — my […]
