  • Celebrity Sighting

    Celebrity Sighting: I just spotted Jane Slicer-Smith buying DPNs in our shop! Okay, so that means nothing to 99% of you, but it sure impressed Michelle and Bridget when I correctly identified her.

  • Liquids on a Plane!

    This whole Liquids on a Plane thing is RIDICULOUS. (Though that poster is genius.) Are you telling me that the next time I fly to the US, I have to go 14 hours without a water bottle or a tube of Chapstick? Not to mention the fact that I’ll have to wear my glasses (since…

  • “The RIVER?”

    Oh GOOD GRIEF. David Jones is paying Mischa Barton, like, a hundred grand to sit at a couple fashion shows this weekend, and good ol’ Marissa is impressing the journos already. She says she can’t wait to see “the river.” The “river” being Sydney Harbour. If my eyes rolled back any further in my head,…
