Social media spats…we all have them, some of us more than others. I have my share, as I am passionate about the dreadful times we are living thru and for good or bad, I tend to share them without much hesitation. I recently had a spat with an acquaintance on social media, and we worked it out and hugged, but during the back and forth this person seemed to back down and that got me to thinking. What do I stand for?… ...Read more

The summer heatwave is on and it kicked off recently with a massive power failure that darkened the West Side of Manhattan for more than a few hours. But in true NY fashion we made the best of it, despite the lack of A/C. It got me to thinking about all the hot sticky movies I have fallen in love with over the years and the wardrobes of those suffering from the heat.
Kathleen Turner wore white during most of the film “Body Heat”, perhaps it was to con us and William Hurt into believing she was far too virtuous to have her husband murdered for his fortune.… ...Read more

White…we think of purity, faith, innocence, goodness, even virginity when we think of the color white, white is ingrained in all of us to be an inherently positive color, why?

I’ve been researching colors and their meanings and how they make us feel. Culturally the meanings can shift, in Asian cultures white is a symbol of mourning and loss, in Western cultures the hero wears white and the villain wears black, again I ask why?… ...Read more

Two separate journeys to China in one month, the second time for just one weekend. It sounds more painful that it was. In fact it wasn’t painful at all but a hell of a lot of fun. I shared the first trip in my previous blog which was work related and now I want to let you in on what it’s like to be a judge in a fashion show in another country thousands of miles away, in Shenzhen.… ...Read more

We arrived in Tokyo a few days too early to see the apple blossoms. We did not know this until the day we departed. We came to Tokyo to shop, to look for inspiration and for “signs of life” in design. What we found, my travelling companion and I was the confirmation that the world is now and I believe, will forever be casual. The juxtaposition of expensive fabrics and laid-back silhouettes and details was everywhere, both on the streets and in the stores.… ...Read more

I want to pay tribute to women who are unapologetic: women who make no excuses for their size and shapes, no excuses for their curves, and no excuses for the weight, the height, and the color of their bodies. I remember when I used to watch entertainers on television or movies and a woman would appear who wasn’t a size 4 and I’d think to myself “she needs to lose a few pounds”. We all did it, and didn’t think twice about it, and this coming from a woman who has never been small.… ...Read more

New year, new beginnings…. or so I am hoping. Hope… that is a good way to start the year, and I have consulted my horoscope for glimmers of such hope. Apparently, this is the year of choice for myself and my Scorpio comrades. Does that mean I get to choose a new president, please pretty please? Can I choose not to pay taxes? Can I choose the winning lottery numbers? As for the Scorpio 2019 love life, apparently, it’s all or nothing, and what else is new?… ...Read more
