Inspiration is ephemeral. To an artist, it happens without thought, a moment in time caught from the corner of an eye, a scent, a sound, a touch, a brief shift in space. It is not always easy to explain. I have been writing this blog now for over two years, weaving lyrical musings of my life and its intimate rapport with lingerie. My connection to this feminine world has lasted more than 25 years and … Read More
This week’s Intimate Discovery: Playful Bras at Great Pricepoints
I am fascinated with the kaleidoscope
merchandising approach to inexpensive sweets offered in “buy by the pound” candy shops located in malls across America. They remind me of childhood trips to the local candy store where we bought nickel treats to stash away from adult eyes or for barter in play. You can scoop a variety of delicious confections into one bag for a mere … Read More
We are all feeling the throwback of the current state of politics in the USA. It doesn’t matter what side you’re on, it’s frustrating. Just when the economy seems to be crawling back from the brink, we get front ended by partisan rancor. So, frankly, for me, the CurveNY show held at the Javits Center last week was a welcome respite.

Easy conversation, excellent … Read More

She took me shopping to Saks and Best & Company (now I am really dating myself) and insisted on a bevy of tweed skirts with cable knit sweaters; matching knee-his included. It was like buying a trousseau, and I obliged, because frankly, who knew? Suffice it to be said that I never opened that foot … Read More

It’s over 100 degrees in New York for the third day in a row and I am hunkered down inside my air-conditioned home waiting for this heat stampede to pass. The air is flush with moisture and mass forming a perfect storm of inertia. Yesterday, I slipped out of my artificial cave for a few minutes of escape to my friend Gale’s farm. Sitting by a cool pond under a shady tree and watching a … Read More
