Tura Satana

How have I not heard of this woman until now? I saw her on Pamela DesBarre's show on VH1: "Let's Spend the Night Together: Confessions of Rock's Greatest Groupies". Wow. She goes on my list of brunettes-with-bangs role models.

Long Island Rites of Passage

This year I got my driver's license, a bedazzled Blackberry case, and started wearing bronzer. Next up: a nameplate necklace! I love the "BUBALA" one.

I'm Dreaming of a Woof Christmas

Commissioned Christmas card for my friend, Jason.

Christmas Cuterie

This was a Very Massapequa Christmas for me, and I loved it. On Christmas Eve night I went out in "town" with Jobei, Trish the Dish, and Danny.


Mom and I stayed with Aunt Jackie and Aunt Gloria for Christmas.


Aunt Jackie's stairs were cluttered with cute.


I bequeathed her this cute fellow a few years ago.


I love you, little gingerbread man, tucked into the tree.


Only my Aunt Jackie would have glow-in-the-dark rubber mice on her tree. Charming!

It looks amazing on.

Who needs more boots, I'm back on SHOES.

You better watch out.

Last year Nino was on the naughty list. Let's hope he is a good boy this Christmas.

C'est-ci n'est pas un Nino.

Recently there was a gallery show all about Bichon Frises. I MISSED it! Darn! But here are some highlights:










This one is my favorite.

Nice Bergdorf Poster.

I love snowy drawings.

CZJ in NYC

Oh, how Nino and I would love to run into Catherine Zeta Jones and her dog friend in Central Park...

All I want for Christmas...

...is a membership to Equinox.
(They have all Kiehl's products in the bathroom!)

Happy Birthday, Pop Princess.

Let it rain.

Lookie what Johnny Dunne got me for my birthday!

This made me LOL. I love Roz Chast.

Gotta get back to yoga...

I feel so much better when I go. I will go on Wednesday.

Yes? No?

Very much on sale. Need input. Keep in mind it's my birthday on Tuesday.

***UPDATE: I didn't get the boots. I have plenty of pairs of boots and still only two feet.

NYC Thanksgiving Chez Moi

My Christmas Cactus got a jump on the holidays, too.


My lovely dinner.


Dinner at the rich neighbors apartment across the street.

I watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade and "Miracle on 34th Street" on TV, took a nap with my loyal pup, talked to my family and friends, and felt very thankful and grateful. Happy Thanksgiving!

I won't.

But I would.

Sick.

I have been sick for a week now. I'm sick of it.

Oui Presse, Portland OR

The idea:

The result:

Illustration everywhere

kate spade is using some cute illustrations on dishes and mugs.

Shawna's new boots:

Dang. I'd like a pair of these myself.

(Have you also noticed that this blog is becoming a collection of all the things I am NOT buying...?)

"Get me a damn taxi."

Bergdorf Goodman has fantastic Christmas ornaments for sale this year.

One good thing

One good thing about winter is that I am reunited with my signature black cashmere turtleneck sweater.

Don't tell Nino

Look what I got for Nino for Christmas at Target! It's a full lobster dinner toy set, including fuzzy corn on the cob, fuzzy baked potato and fuzzy lemon wedge! All served on a frisbee plate. I can barely refrain from giving it to him right now.

It's not wrong

It's not wrong for me to want a Chanel bag. I am a young woman living on the Upper East Side of Manhattan- it's actually wrong for me NOT to have one. Bergdorf Goodman, $1500.

Desi Monster

We can all go get this beautiful poster of my college chum, Desi Monster, here:

The New York Art Book Fair 2009, Nov. 4-7 at P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center, 22-25 Jackson Avenue, Long Island City, Queens; nyartbookfair.com, (718) 786-7608.

Halloween!

Only William Breadbeck could carve a Jack-O-Lantern out of a blueberry.


Happy Halloween from E.74th St!

I am going to the parade tonight with my new friend Christie, I hope to get lots of good pictures...now go eat some candy!

Halloween is near

This is Reiko's dog, Mr. Pickles, dressed for Halloween, seen from the back.

Recent cute things

This is what my Halloween decorations look like when the curtains are closed.


These day-care doggies are waiting for their mommies to come pick them up at the end of the work day.


My doggie gets to be home with his mommy all day. Sometimes I worry that he's bored. I wish he could read or watch TV or something.

Joe, Patrick, Dave, Devin

My Midwestern cuties are playing two shows in New York City this weekend, and Saturday is Devin's 27th birthday! We are going to have a good time, come out if you can.

P.W.

I don't even know what's going on in this picture, but it makes me LOL. Thanks, Jeanne, for sending it to me!
