Some do not look back on the late eighties and nineties with disdain. We have appreciation and respect for big hair, jingling bracelets, gold layered necklaces, and the elevating nature of fur--faux, of course, we're not barbarians. Trousers were black and wide, with cinched, high waists. Versace silk blouses screamed color. Heels were high and… Continue reading Where’s My Fur?…

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?…
Success Without Panties…
Last night was the first big event with the new company. As PR Maven, my job is to make sure we look good, get great media coverage, and ensure our name is front and center. Check, check and check. Thank God no one knew I wasn't wearing panties. At least as far as I know.… Continue reading Success Without Panties…
Conversations With My Ass…
I have a love-hate relationship with my ass. Girls who have an ass with a mind of her own know my pain. No matter what I say or do, I can't get the damn girl to listen to me. She grows without my permission. There was a time my ass was very sweet. Between the… Continue reading Conversations With My Ass…
No Secret is Safe…
The Norwegian kept me in line in many ways; over sharing amongst them. He outlined frequently what is and is not necessary to share with the class; often scolding me like a toddler just learning to speak. He wondered aloud, and often, at my inability to tuck anything away as secret. I was admonished more… Continue reading No Secret is Safe…

Students get a case prompt and then research and argue it, over and over, in rounds, until only two remain fighting to the death for the honor of Moot Court Boss. Middle Chicken finished in the top eight, quite… Continue reading Egads–Pearls Have Been Attacked!
Where’s My Ghost?
When someone loses a spouse--one they like--invariably the subject of an afterlife sprouts. It's natural. It's difficult to think of loved ones, worms crawling in and out their noses for all time, am I right? Thoughts like, where are they now? Do they watch us? Are they with us? We yearn for some sort of… Continue reading Where’s My Ghost?
Serendipity Strikes
This weekend found me trafficking bags at a holiday boutique. Financial success--not so much. Spiritual success--you be the judge. Serendipity struck as two amazing people fell into my life from out of the blue. A welcome respite to the asshats from the IRS lurking in the shadows circling for another piece of nothing. Or the… Continue reading Serendipity Strikes
Amour On Parade…at last
Bonjour Girlfriends! Yes there is a reason for my absence and yes, I have heard the complaints loud and clear! I know we're all busy, but this busy involves handbags. As a slut for any accessory, can you blame me for the lapse? And when those accessories sport my company name, honor The Norwegian and… Continue reading Amour On Parade…at last
Musical Notes
The funniest things happen on the most ordinary days, making them extraordinary. My favorite drummer boy got a gig. He hasn't played in front of an audience in years. He stays mostly on the other side of music but he was invited to play a gig--a big one, at holiday time. I could not be… Continue reading Musical Notes
