Wordless Wednesday: Ridiculous Heels Edition
Are these impractical? Yes? Really? I thought I might wear them to walk the dog, run errands, you know, wherever. They're mine now. Damn you discount shopping! I couldn't resist! Continue Reading
Southampton Hospital Benefit: One Weird Night Pt 2: Dinner
Yesterday I set the stage: glamorous women, men in plaid pants, fur stoles in August! Yes, it was the 52nd annual Southampton Hospital Benefit, called “Some Enchanted Evening.” Today, I’m continuing the saga as we enter The Dinner Hour!! (cue scary music) The Southampton Hospital Benefit is so Continue Reading
Southampton Hospital Benefit: One Weird Night: Pt 1 Cocktail Hour
It’s the party where fabulous gowns, gobs of jewelry, and men in pink plaid shorts and knee socks collide. It’s the Southampton Hospital annual benefit evening. And I was there. Southampton, for those without access to movies, TV, newspapers, magazines, or other sentient beings, is one of the towns Continue Reading
Put some Clothes On!
I am old. Not because of my saggy knees, or brown spots, or my elbows that look as if they’ve been crumpled up in the back of a drawer for a few decades.

Perky and 36DD are simply not words you hear together, Continue Reading
My New Favorite Swimsuit Company
I've written quite a bit about Karla Colletto - the fabulously expensive and fabulously flattering swimsuit that actually managed to make me feel less than disgusting on the beach last summer. But notice that first "fabulously?" The expense of a KC bathing suit is a bit daunting -- upwards of Continue Reading
Youngening: It’s true! We’re all getting younger!
Forty is the new thirty. Fifty is the new forty. Twenty one is the new eighteen. In fact, my hormones are skyrocketing to adolescent levels even as I type. It's the new math. And Lord knows, I've never been much good at math. Funny. I'm not much good at getting younger as I age, either. This Continue Reading
Genes vs Jeans
They either make my butt look too big, or too broad. They accentuate my gut or give me muffin top. They are jeans. The bane of my existence. My dream is to be able to look good in a white t-shirt, a pair of jeans, and some flip flops. But it seems that my genes won't let me look good in my Continue Reading
