Stop the presses. I was going to start a post about how my taste in shoes has changed over the years but I needed to get something off my chest.  My total disain over the vulgarity, the mindset of the super-wealthy, and the obsession with celebrity nearly did me in.  No. I didn’t watch this display of trash with a suitcase of money although I understand it was on the Entertainment Channel and…

Crazy at it might seem, the subject matter has been rolling around in the empty space between my ears for a while now.  Not a long while but just about as long as I switched out my winter clothing for the lighter ones. Yes. I think.  Therefore I am (but not the brightest bulb in the house) ‘Tis an odd thing, it is.  But I’ve changed my mindset about clothing. It could be a mixture of age, a…

As I write this, it is almost two weeks into daylight savings time 2026.  My body is getting used to the fact I need another hour’s sleep because I keep waking up at the old 5:00 AM to get ready for work as opposed to the new 5:00 AM.   So basically, I’m waking up at 4:00 AM—an hour earlier, and I can’t get back to sleep.  Cabish?

Sans Mascara!  Ya can’t tell if I’m wearing it or not! Didn’t bother wearing it when we were in Paris.  Nor did I bother applying it during the Holidays.  Nor at work. In France last month! No mascara but lots of lip gloss! And the…

In this post, I am going to cover a very controversial subject.  Fashion experts abhor them. Karl Largerfeld detested them.  Go on the internet and any self-proclaimed fashionista will pontificate that women “over a certain age” should never wear them. Look. I LOVED Mr. Karl as a designer. He was incredibly talented. And had I ever met him, I would go all fangirl on him–I could even dress like…

Brian Wilson’s passing earlier this week has left me with an emotional void. It is that loss of an innocent time.  It is like the last of my childhood has left permanently and all that’s left are memories…… In  2012 when he returned to performing. It’s weird.  Whenever I’ve been asked what my favorite musical groups or musicians are, I’ve never once said “The Beach Boys” or added Brian Wilson to…
