Hoarders makes me sad. Don't know it? It's a reality show that goes inside the homes of messy people. They say it's a real thing. Gathering stuff, until there are only trails through one's home and rats in the kitchen, is the result of some sort of trauma. I figure I must be ahead of… Continue reading How Judgy Are You?…

Does It Reflect You?…
One of the Dolls passing through comments on my little home office. "Ooh is this where the magic happens?" We laugh, but later I consider, what does a Duchess Doll need in her work area? Mine, where my brain comes to explode, is of a personal nature. For instance, always in my sight line is… Continue reading Does It Reflect You?…

The Dolls discuss the perils of online dating, needy beaus and husbands and frustration over constant care of "him" and his needs. Two Dolls relate recent relationship arguments. Pfft. Exhaustive research provides the solution. I'm marrying Batman. The caped crusader is, indeed, my soul mate. He just may be the perfect man. Need proof? When… Continue reading Batman Is My Soulmate…

It’s A Fever of Sorts…
There is the slightest break in morning air. Here in The Dale, that's big. It signals three digits are on the way out. It's Fall, of sorts. Though still stifling in the afternoon, soon we will, again, drink wine on the patio. Some girls lose our minds come Autumn. We believe Labor Day is the… Continue reading It’s A Fever of Sorts…
The Boys Have Questions…
Yes, there are boy Duchess Dolls. Every once in a while they come forward with opinions, questions and sometimes even corrections. They're wrong, but they're guys. You know, so we let them mansplain. I meet some new ones. "What do women want?" They don't like my answer, "Everything." Disclaimer: Every Doll is different. Boys, if… Continue reading The Boys Have Questions…
Do I Smell Football and Fashion?…
Two things make a girl giddy come Fall. Football and fashion. We can toss aside that sundress we've worn all summer. Loved it when we bought it--pre 120 degrees on the surface of the sun. After the 53rd wear, we're over it. Tired of making sure the thin strap stays up, not wearing a bra… Continue reading Do I Smell Football and Fashion?…
Bellas For The Win…
PR and Event girls are usually on the ready for just about anything. Last minute decorating snafus, guest no shows, clothing mishaps--we aren't fazed by much.

Sometimes there is no accounting for taste. The kind in your mouth. Peanut butter and jelly returned to my life this week. I knelt bedside and thanked Mother Mary for guiding me through the darkness. Bread, the true love of my life, was a cancer casualty. After chemo and radiation, it wouldn't go down my… Continue reading The Return of PB & J…
