Not cool Urban Outfitters, not cool. →
This is such bullshit! I gifted my sister with the Minnesota necklace from this fine craftsperson last year and while it, uh, broke rather quickly I’m sure Urban’s mass-produced biznatch would have broken even faster. NOT COOL, Urban, NOT COOL.

One of my lovely customers sent me a message today with this link.
And here is my United/World of Love line:

“You can’t let society lock that concept of what beauty is, and say that...”
– Penelope Cruz. Easy for her to say, yes, but I love this sentiment. There’s a reason most women begin to feel comfortable in their skin in their late 20s and 30s. Snap judgments and anxiety about what others’ think begin to fall away. Beauty remains.

Parents keep child's gender secret. →
mandalay:
Uh, I don’t know how I feel about this.
As always, Coke Talk has the right take on it. She sounds a lot like my dad, who enjoys harassing new parents who dress their little girls in pink-pink-pink and bows-bows-bows by saying, “Awwww … how old is he?”
PS: Have you heard about these bows for baby girls that are meant to be GLUED to their heads? Jesus christ. Jesus...

“I can’t help wondering what a 14-year-old with [Bob] Dylan’s gifts and hungers...”
– Forever Young? For Bob Dylan, In Some Ways, Yes.
via caro, who writes:
“Really interesting article about the formative age of great musicians, theorizing that great musicians tend to be clustered around particular birth years based on the fact that a pivotal event in music (in Dylan’s case,...

Your dinner plans are made...
Tonight, Hotel Griffou, where we celebrated M.’s birthday with an extraordinary early-spring lamb-focused meal, is hosting what sounds like an equally extraordinary late-spring-in-New-York-focused meal. Dinner, priced at $65 (!!!), begins at 8 pm. Sadly, I can’t go, but you should. Chef Santos is one the city’s great up-and-coming chefs.
The menu, with wine...

Slightly ornery Monday morning PSA
No one but tourists calls it N’Awlins. I liken it to New Yorkers calling it “The Big Apple.” Doesn’t happen. “N’Awlins” is not even in a New Orleans accent (save perhaps Dennis Quaid’s ridiculous faux Nola accent in “The Big Easy” — also, no one calls it “The Big Easy”).
“N’Awlins” is straight country,...

Can Bethenny Crack A Billion? →
Took me a few years but I finally came around and now I’m a full-blown fan girl, right down to my drinks. (Though I make it myself and would never buy a ready-made cocktail. Blech. Sorry, Bethenny.) Mad props to her business sense.
It’s 7 a.m. and Bethenny Frankel is hard at work. The reality TV star is talking to Don Imus about her new book, her new daughter and the time when, eight...
