I am officially a Blogatorial Board Member on StyleHive.com! Check out my snazzy pic on their blogger page by clicking here!
And for the record, that picture they used is not posed at all. It is TOTALLY candid.
It’s just another gig to add to my grocery list of gigs! How exciting is that?

A couple of weeks ago, I went to Macy’s Passport in San Francisco and I took Steve and Charles as my plus two.
There was lots of food and I didn’t get hit on once. However, Charles and Steve did. I mean, why didn’t I get hit on? I am an angel. I am ethereal. And [...]

I haven’t listed the things on my pop culture menu as of late, so here’s an update! (OMG! That rhymed!)
I’ve been watching…
Hamlet 2: Eh. It was kinda funny. But most of the funny is towards the end of the movie - and Elisabeth Shue is in it!
Vicky Cristina Barcelona: Not as high strung as many [...]

Today was my first day of teaching Fashion Journalism at the Academy of Art University and I think I was a total spazz - okay, maybe not TOTALLY, but perhaps partially.
I was uber-nervous that the students were going to hate me and walk all over me, but they were really cool - and I’m just [...]

I just got back from New York Fashion Week…actually, I just went to one day of shows because I wasn’t cool enough to get invited to many. My reputation within the industry seems to be dwindling. Actually, I don’t think I had a “rep” to begin with…
It is kind of annoying going to shows. You [...]

Ugh. I have to be up at 5 a.m. tomorrow so that I can go to the gym and then make it into the city by 8 a.m. so I can attend an Academy of Art University teaching conference.
With BART acting so slow and annoying lately (and considering I am at the end of the [...]

So I just bought my plane ticket and registered for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York. And I don’t even know if I could afford all of it!
Well, lucky for me, I will not only be covering fashion week, but I will also be staying at the Hotel Le Bleu in Brooklyn and doing a [...]
Yay! Today is the one month anniversary of my official lay-off date from Bay Area News Group East Bay! It was month ago today that I got the ax from the newspaper company! AND! As an added bonus, this is the 201st post on the finer dandy! AND…today was the first day that I really [...]

Well, it hasn’t come to lay-offs yet, but they are having some buyout fun…check it out:
The San Francisco Chronicle will offer at least 125 employees the chance to take a buyout before the end of the year, the company said Friday.
“Obviously, we’re not the first newspaper to be affected by the continuing downturn in [...]

This is so wrong. A couple of weeks ago, my friend Jen sent and article I wrote years ago when I worked for The Battalion at Texas A&M University titled, “Fall Fashion: What’s HOT & What’s NOT”.
Yes, I went to one of the most conservative universities in the nation and no, I don’t know [...]
