Wrote a blog post for SFGate.com’s fashion blog, SF Unzipped — wanna hear it? Hear it goes…
William Ivey Long has an impressive track record when it comes to designing costumes for the divas and divos of the musical stage. He’s won Tony Awards for creating the costumes for “The Producers,” “Hairspray,” “Nine,” “Crazy for You,” [...]

August 16 marked the 52nd birthday of pop icon, Madonna. She is still as relevant as ever — even if she does seem to be eclipsed by some of this wacky glam pop madness we are witnessing. If she wasn’t, I wouldn’t be wondering if she prefers Red Lobster or Olive Garden for her birthday [...]

Remember those hideously awesome red boots Ted Mosby wore in the “Everything Must Go” episode of How I Met Your Mother? For all you non-HIMYM fans, here’s a pic:
Well, the other night I saw a really cool guy wearing a similar pair at the Takorea truck!
Pulling. Them. Off.

I have had Kids Inc. on the brain a lot lately. Therefore, I needed to blog about it.
The ultimate children’s musical variety show starring Fergie (before her BEP sabotage days) and the underrated pop princess stylings of Martika was probably one of the highlights of my childhood.

Throughout the whole 4th of July weekend, I kept on referencing chokers and halter tops — mostly in conversation during my brother-in-law’s 40th birthday party. Using my cousin-in-law (is that even the appropriate way to address this type of relative?) Darlene as an example, this how the typical conversation went:
Darlene: What should we bring when [...]

I don’t know if it’s just in the zeitgeist or if it is a glossy trend, but the crotch area of a female has been the it thing as of late. First there was the whole vajazzle thing; then there is that new jam “Woo-hoo” by Christina Aguilera with a rhyme spitting Nicki Minaj talking [...]

Dear Miranda, Carrie, Samantha and Charlotte: I love you, but maybe your lives would be better without a sequel documenting your lives
On Monday, I watched a pre-screening of Sex and the City 2. As I sat there trying to trudge through the less-than-witty writing, unbelievably hollow storyline and gratuitous glitz & glamour, I thought, “I [...]

I am feeling Lost-algic so I decided to repost the following on Lost that was written on January 16, 2007 on Dressed, the blog I used to write when I was at the Bay Area News Group. It was a fashion-centric blog, so that’s why I sound like a 15-year-old girl towards the end.
Please forgive [...]

I was featured in this month’s 7×7 Magazine as the best dressed male at the Ruffian Threads & Heirs Launch Party — which happened couple of months ago (it’s kind of old news but my ego told me to post it on my blog any way), I have to [...]

Considering I did this at the beginning of the month, this is old news — but I am going to share it with you any way.
I did my first blog post for SFGate.com’s (the San Francisco Chronicle’s website) fashion blog, SF Unzipped and was my interview with Richard Press, the director of Bill Cunningham [...]
