I have to go to a few chi-chi-poo-poo parties this week, so I had to update my wine tasting skills. I can't order Pinot Grigio forever and I'm tired of hearing people ordering White Zinfandel and think that they are stepping it up a notch. For those who want to upgrade their dining and wining etiquette, swish this around in your mouth and swallow: Directly excerpted from The Wine Doctor How to Taste Wine Wine, especially that for which you have paid a premium, is worth more than a quick … [Read more...]

2007 Emmy Awards Best Dressed List and a Few Extras….
I only watched a few seconds of the 2007 Emmys, but I caught a glimpse of Vanessa Williams' dress and knew that she would be on my best dressed list. This woman, even through some scandalous pictures and even more scandalous husbands, always manages to look completely fab! She is soooo my beauty role model..... Anyways, I have to prepare for a photoshoot in B-more, so I "borrowed" (wink, wink) these pictures from Red Carpet Style Awards. I do not possess even a scintilla of the creativity … [Read more...]

Style File: Fall 2007 Absurd Shoe Edition
I found this swanky assortment of shoes among the Fall 2007 line up at Barneys.Here are my astute observations:1. Miu Miu Anklestrap Mary Jane: I am not a fan of any flat shoe at all. This shoe looks like an episode of "When the Glue Gun Went Wrong." Huge rhinestones on my tippy toes does not a diva make. I believe that a woman's legs look best in a pair of high heels--the higher, the better! What's the purpose of woman's leg is her calf isn't pumped up past sexy? I only wear flat shoes … [Read more...]
