Why are we not breakfasting? As in breakfast dates. You know, of the romantic, get-to-know-you type? Don't get me wrong, Dolls. Nothing beats a candlelit dinner at your favorite restaurant--say the one that starts with Royal and ends with Palms--you know the one. Candlelight hides fine lines and creates the perfect glow reflecting from your… Continue reading Why Are We Not Breakfasting?…

All Manner of Words…
Although this girl wakes early, I don't bolt out the door for a bit. No, I'm not that high maintenance. It's just that I read a little, take in the news of the day and drink enough coffee to give an elephant the shakes. And there's the mascara. Imagine the horror when this nugget shows… Continue reading All Manner of Words…
Things We Do In Private…
Yet another thing bored feminists are up in arms about. Pfft. Call it Dorito-Gate. Yes, it's ridiculous. Yes, it's stupid. Yes, it's a marketing gimmick aimed to stir the waters. But is it a reason for twisted panties? Please. Not in the know? What do you mean--your life has deep meaning or you're solving real… Continue reading Things We Do In Private…
Bake Your Face…
I've had a lifelong love affair with makeup. Lately I search for whatever will keep my slather from falling into the little lines and crevices marking the passage of time and too much smiling. A trend somehow slipped through the cracks on my face and left me behind. Perhaps because I didn't think the answer… Continue reading Bake Your Face…
No Jeans After 53…
Women of a certain age took another fashion hit. If we believed the crap spewed by those in the know, we'd never step foot out our front doors all made up, with long hair, powder on our faces and stiletto heels. All those things, btw, are the stuff of which "older" women should not partake.… Continue reading No Jeans After 53…
Holiday Happy…The LBD
Christmas calls for a little black dress and multiple strands of our beloved pearls. Really? For what occasion is the LBD not on call? That's neither here nor there. We're talking Christmas. There's church, parties, dinners, cocktails, office gatherings and more people than we can remember for one season, non? The LBD can be dressed… Continue reading Holiday Happy…The LBD
Again Boys?…
I wasn't going to comment. The news is having a heyday all its own. Is there need for another small time blogger piling on? That is until Matt Lauer dropped his pants and then, really, all hell broke lose and my brain exploded. Right here, on these pages, how many times have we advised the… Continue reading Again Boys?…
PSL…Please Stop
It took me any number of days to figure out that PSL and the surrounding hysteria stands for Pumpkin Spice Latte. Yep, I'm that girl. I don't go to Starbucks. Except for meetings with clients. So somehow I missed whatever this lusciusness is that makes people lose their minds every Fall. But then I think… Continue reading PSL…Please Stop
Criminal Boy…
Lucy and Ethel. Frick and Frack. Batman and Robin. What do these famous duos have in common? They got nothing on The Duchess and Sisterella when out we go on a Friday night. We can't be beat. Until the next day when age, and too much wine, chases us down, pounds upon our heads and… Continue reading Criminal Boy…
And So This Week…
Perhaps it was the eclipse. Perhaps it's just me. Thoughts of the weird circled about this week. I've never seen Game of Thrones. Thoughts are stirred when a dear friend returns from Scotland to show pics where they actually film and their historical importance. Over the next couple of days, I suffer FOMO, a rarity,… Continue reading And So This Week…
