Elizabeth and Mary Linley — The Linley Sisters /  Oil on canvas by Thomas Gainsborough (1727–1788)

Living in New York,  flanked by some of the best museums of the world we often tend to forget that our city is home to some of the best small collections as well.  Last Sunday I spent some time reacquainting myself with the Frick Collection and I was reminded just how much I enjoy this ...

Paradis

This week, I’d like to feature one of my favorite singers and actresses of the past 20 years- Vanessa Paradis.  If you are only familair with Ms. Paradis as the wife of Johnny Depp, you are sadly missing out.  In France, this woman is a star-and has indeed earned it. Related Posts:No Related Posts

Jeremy Scott Mickey Mouse Glasses

It’s creeping up, you can tell by the rainy days and not-so-freezing weather. There’s also that mixed fashion I so love in Spring and the month of April; half the population is braving the still somewhat crisp temperatures and taking off the layers and boots, while the other is still hiding behind the winter parkas ...

Lady-GaGa-Telephone

It’s no secret that I’m a huge Gaga fan.  But fan or no, I’m not actually writing this post as a person who loves the Lady.  This is a response to the bashing Lady Gaga’s Telephone video has been getting in the media.  Bashing which is so unwarranted that it’s caused me to go on ...
