Men are so lucky. Their clothes are so much easier than ours. Always have been, always will be. Dressing for business as a woman in the seventies/early eighties was much easier than it is now. We bought five or six suits from Brooks Brothers or Paul Stuart. If you didn’t need it to be a suit day, you would wear the skirt from one of the suits with a round collar, cable knit sweater, also from Paul Stuart or Brooks Brothers. Paul ...read more I love Meryl Streep. I love that her nose is too long. I love that she looks down shyly sometimes before she speaks, and I love that she wears clothes that I would wear to awards shows that I will never be invited to attend. I especially love that she is fearless on the screen showing things about herself that are less than flattering. Last night, at the Golden Globes, the night belonged to Meryl. Her comments about her role in ...read more Haiti. Where to begin? What to say? No words. What a surprise. Seeing Bush and Clinton together yesterday reminded me about the best of Americans. It’s no secret that I think Bush is just this side of the devil, but watching his first venture out of retirement with Clinton on the news programs Sunday morning, I am reminded that the good in each of us lies in our ability to come together when necessary, when anyone needs us across this globe ...read more I love handbags. I’ve been on the quest for the perfect bag for quite sometime. It’s a cross between a briefcase – large enough to carry some files, etc. – and small enough to not make me look like a moving van carrying things to and fro. It’s not easy and I find myself getting attached in the store, buying the bag and then it disappoints me. Then I give it away. I once bought a handbag for $3,000. My bag ...read more My new shoes came with an accompanying CD-ROM to show me how to walk in them. They are ‘physiological footwear.’ Wow. They are called MBT Footwear and there is a whole theory behind them. I must mention here they are the most expensive pair of gym shoes I ever purchased. I’m sure my cool Keds from the fifth grade are rolling over in their grave. Their Web site shows how when you walk in the shoes, you roll rather than plant ...read more I used to wear all designer clothes and bags and hats. Ok, I didn’t actually wear the hats, I just purchased them, over and over again, regardless of the fact that I never wore them. The new Obama mini me is no longer going to buy designer. Actually, I am going to buy designer things now and then to accent my wardrobe, but things like black pants, and bathing suit cover ups, and basics are going to be non designer. As ...read more I must begin by saying I have never purchased Vogue Magazine. I sometimes think putting my hair in a pony tail in the morning is the same thing as taking a shower. In case that lead in is too obtuse, here it is plain and simple. I know nothing about fashion whatsoever. But I watched with interest this past Sunday, 60 Minute’s piece on Anna Wintour, Vogue Magazine’s twenty something year iconic leader and known best over the past years as ...read more |
