It may be the dog days of summer but it's cats trending on Twitter. #ifcatsdidntexist is filled with tweets of cats doing cat stuff. What catches the eye is this thought: "Without cats, crazy cat ladies would just be crazy ladies." So where would all that crazy go? Perhaps we'd become sad and listless flailing… Continue reading Cat Days of Summer…

Fall Fashion Is Around The Corner, Non?…
Above 105 degrees, this delicate flower takes to a comfy chair and studies fashion. What else is there to do? Watch my hair expand in the humidity? Risk sweating? On the surface of the sun, even running to the grocery involves underboob sweat and possible mascara melt. It's the search for the perfect bra that… Continue reading Fall Fashion Is Around The Corner, Non?…
Scorched Earth Stomach…
For the first time since dinosaurs roamed the earth, I wore a very small bikini. It was a gift in bravado presented me by Sweetest G who quipped, "You took off twenty years when you took off that coverup." Well then. I was in LaLaLand and full of cocktails and misplaced muster. That is, until… Continue reading Scorched Earth Stomach…
Rub-A-Dub, Don’t Scrub…
Pulling into the underground garage I find another neighbor washing his car. Really. The car washing station in my building is rarely empty. Makes one ponder; Is it better to hand wash? I probably won't, but they say knowledge is power. I consult with our fave car guy, Big Al Heggs of Superstition Springs Chrysler… Continue reading Rub-A-Dub, Don’t Scrub…

Commando Debate…
Duchess Dolls always hunt for interesting fare. What shoots across the desk this morning falls into that file. Chicks on YouTube debating going commando. Disclaimer: The women are young; younger than this old broad. They are squeamish about flying the flag sans panties. Find me a woman of a certain age and she'll school you.… Continue reading Commando Debate…
House of Claire Returns…
Remember when your grandmother admonished, "Who cares what other people think?" Claire Underwood listened. The rest of us, well, we got trapped in the rabbit hole of mean girls, attracting boys and lipstick shades. And Claire? What happened to her? Her dreams came true while rocking the perfect shade of lipstick. And sheath dresses. And… Continue reading House of Claire Returns…
The F-Word…
Yesterday was colonoscopy day. Not mine, good heavens. If ever there comes a time something enters the back way, I assure you it won't be conversation worthy. I escort a dear friend. I will not divulge even her nickname lest you guess her identity and she, then, may feel obliged to spill my secrets. She… Continue reading The F-Word…
Peel The Onion…
Women are onions. All different colors. Tastes from sweet to horrible. But mostly, not what we appear on the outside. It's only peeling back the skin that we find the sweet, or sour, underneath. I meet a new friend to talk marketing, pr and expanding her business. Helping others promote, expand and create makes the… Continue reading Peel The Onion…
Tips For Romping…Just Don’t
Evidently, the man romper is a thing. Really. It's your standard romper, meant for chicks, made with man colors and maybe a little tie belt. Haven't seen one live and in person, but guaranteed, I'll laugh. Women in men's clothing can be super chic. Think a classic tuxedo, double pleated pants, wingtips and some ties--not… Continue reading Tips For Romping…Just Don’t
