I’m in sunny southern California for a few days – for both business and pleasure. While here, I had the pleasure of spending a lovely afternoon with boob and bra expert, Elisabeth Dale, author of bOObs- a Guide to your Girls and founder of The Breast Life. We took a lingerie tour of Los Angeles and its environs beginning with the award-winning luxury lingerie boutique, Faire Frou Frou.

Lately I have been spending time visiting a friend on the upper west side of Manhattan. Her apartment is located just around the block from the sophisticated luxury chocolate shop, Jacque Torres. I always stop in for a latte and to feast my fantasies on the rich selection of artful confections offered there. I haven’t splurged yet, out of respect for Jenny Craig, but let’s face it, intent and reality often collide; I am not … Read More

There’s a chill in the air…And I couldn’t be happier! Before we know it, I’ll be donning my “uniform” of boots, button-downs and blazers. Until then, I’m trying to enjoy the last bit of Summer. I’m down the shore for a few days…attempting to get some much needed rest and relaxation in Beach Haven on Long Beach Island, N.J. I much prefer the beach during the “off season.” The weather is still … Read More

Quite often we are actually nourished by our inspirations – we simply eat them. For instance, take a fig fruit, which is in season now, the Black Mission variety. The contrast between purplish, fragile skin and moist, dark pink flesh practically invites you to start designing the concept on the plate.
Incidentally, I once read the guide to selecting a ripe fig, thinking I was reading a passage from the Kamasutra.

I can remember in 5th grade doing our annual weigh-in at school and being 10 pounds heavier and about 2 inches taller than the other girls in my class. That’s when I started noticing my body and my size. My hips were a little wider, my waist a little rounder, and my breasts definitely fuller. It has continued like that my whole life and I am almost 30. But I can … Read More
