RHoA doesn’t disappoint

Published on November 12, 2008

Tweet Dwight is right – again. The gay bff of NeNe says “What is a fashion show with no clothes? Nothing.” This is the Best RH series yet!!! But Sheree went ahead and pretended it was something and her friends came and saw just that – a lot of nothing. I just love it when […]


Let the RHofA take your mind off politics tonight

Published on November 4, 2008

Tweet So the worms are turning. Sheree is still a moody snooty woman who is constantly being reminded by Kim (who is now better dealing her soon to be ex friend NeNe) how absolutely beautiful they are. Kim is also being prepped for a singing career by Dallas Austin, who no doubt owes her sugardaddy […]


TV addiction!

Published on October 23, 2008

Tweet I am loving all the new and returning shows that I am watching this fall. Sunday Nights are ridiculously well stocked with top notch television – Dexter, Californication, and Entourage are the returning champs; True Blood and Mad Men are new on my list. Since the whole gist of this blog is that I […]


F*@k Paris Hilton, Joan Collins is a REAL celebrity!

Published on October 19, 2008

Tweet I’m embarassed to say how excited I am right now – I just stood next to Joan Collins in line at Whole Foods! She’s really lovely, and beautifully dressed, just like one of her characters would be while shopping on a Sunday afternoon with her handsome son? / lover? for supper’s ingredients before being […]


The infuriating picayune of MDL

Published on September 2, 2008

Tweet So I don’t know what makes me more furious – that my camera accidentally went to the beach with the Husband and the Critter, sabotaging my intended post about the new Luau Restaurant on Bedford, (I talked up the contractor and they let me take pics of it while it’s still under construction), OR […]


“Million Dollar Listing” vapid and transfixing at once

Published on August 22, 2008

Tweet I love reality shows. I know, I know, they’re the death of art and all that, but as cultural phenomenon, but I get a huge kick out them. Well, that, and sometimes they show my neighborhood and people I have met. It took me awhile to remember where I met Josh Flagg on MDL, […]


The 2008 Olympics – the designer’s color commentary

Published on August 10, 2008

Tweet “Where is everybody?” I wondered yesterday, as the Critter and I mosied around the triangle on his Kettler yesterday morning. Then, like a V-8 moment, I realized that people are watching the Olympics! It should come as no surprise to my readers that I am no follower of sports. I am often grateful that […]


More fun with puppets and prerecorded music…

Published on August 6, 2008

Tweet I just used this to give the Critter his first lesson in the rap / hip hop genre. I hope The Husband doen’t mind – he would prefer the Critter only learn classical, Sinatra style and Journey. But Critter already has his hands up in the A-yuh!


Abundance of riches – torpor of spirit

Published on August 3, 2008

Tweet Right now I have a couple of hours to do anything I want to do. I have before me: • Beverly Hills Community Services Bulletin – and pore over pages six and seven – I can stress about whether the Critter is properly stimulated prior to entering preschool. • Read I, Rhoda Manning, Go […]


Bocce and Benjamins in Beverly Hills…

Published on May 16, 2008

Tweet On Tuesday the Critter and I strolled to Roxbury Park and then to lunch with The Chef. On the way, we saw these cars being washed. I’m sure The Husband will want me to say what type of cars they are, and I will as soon as he gets home, but aren’t they tres […]
