Famous Bunnies: ROGER RABBIT. BUGS. EASTER. HARVEY, and PLAYBOY. I’m obsessed with a new website called “MUCKETY” I just discovered. It links rich & famous people … and makes the connections between them. “ASSESSING FAMOUS BUNNIES” in today’s New York Times did the same thing on a smaller scale today… see below. Happy Easter — and…
Ernest Hemingway wrote in Cuba … I think it was a prize-winning novel… but I’ll have to do my research now that my friend CHUCK LARSEN brought me back a picture he took of Hemingway’s Corona. I was speechless when Chuck presented me this photo the other evening. I recognize how immensely thoughtful he is to…
I just got a few “Stella McCartney” pieces of clothing… a new addition to my wardrobe. Soon thereafter, I received an invitation to a fundraiser that designer Stella McCartney supports. Because I can’t get there — but I wanted to begin a positive relationship with the boutique — I wrote this note to explain why…
‘Finding Vivian Maier” was a movie I knew my friend Vivian Chakin would enjoy. We decided spur-of-the- moment the night before to go check it out. Vivian loves beauty and is very talented herself, with hands that can repair snagged sweaters or knit them. (Her needlework on a pillow she made for me is impeccable,…
I worked with Sherry Stern about twenty years ago, and we’d lost touch until she found us at a car museum event down in Orange County. “I’ve inherited my late brother’s Silver Cloud Rolls Royce!” she shared. She’s been lovingly restoring it, but it’s a huge project — literally. Because it’s a mere 19 feet…
Back in the 1990’s, when my daughter Jamie was too young to know what “Playboy” was, I worked on television shows for the Channel. I started out doing a talk show, “Who’s On Top?” It was an innocent time. Everyone was fully clothed. We billed it as a sociological phenomenon. A chance for men &…
In life, there are big problems and there are little ones. Sometimes it’s the little ones that aggravate me the most. The errand I end up doing not once, but twice or more. The things that become a rapid pain-in-the ass that were meant to be pretty and easy. I got a pair of earrings…
I loved this cartoon in this week’s NEW YORKER magazine. The King tells his scribe, “To the peasants: Love you guys, love you all.’ Sign it me.” Even peasants appreciate a note. Please Share
I’m not in my right mind before 8AM, and certainly when I get up in the dark, leave the house having consumed only one cup of coffee and drive to the downtown Courthouse by 7:45AM — you can only imagine my haze. So when the court lady (sorry, I didn’t catch her title, I was…
http://thedesignfiles.net/2013/06/interview-nicholas-andersen-and-julie-ho-of-confettisystem/ Julie Ho has a company called “Confetti System out of Brooklyn. She creates “fantastical decorations” and huge art deco-style chandeliers, trellises for Solange Knowles; custom confetti for Beyonce; a life-size London taxicab & phone booth for J. Crew’s flagship store in the United Kingdom. And more. “Something as simple as an old pile of…
