(Warning – Spoiler Alert! Do not proceed if you haven’t yet experienced Fifty Shades of Grey or Magic Mike and wish to do so) Last week I remember sitting in my living room telling my sister we women have come a long way, baby. That we’re CEOs, we as bloggers are defining preferences for all… Continue Reading Women, We Deserve Better
{via} While hearing the passing of MCA last week was heartbreaking, and finding out that Donna Summer died today was awful, for me the most painful recent passing of a musician is Chuck Brown. For those who are unfamiliar with Chuck Brown, he is known as The Godfather of Go-Go, a DC legend, an icon… Continue Reading The Passing of a DC Legend – Chuck Brown
To some, music is a religious experience. While many houses of worship these days encourage a “come as you are” dress code, I don’t recommend doing so either for church or a concert. While I doubt neither a god nor a rock god would question your devotion based upon your attire, what you choose to… Continue Reading What to Wear to a Concert
Well, I didn’t get the R&R I desired this weekend, but I still had a great time! Friday night my husband had an event, so I stayed home and watched Emerson.

Clothing is fun, clothing is pretty, but clothing also has history. When I think about this (or share my opinions on the importance of fashion to those who find it superficial) I always think of this scene from The Devil Wears Prada: If you love fashion, it is smart to know the story behind it.… Continue Reading Required Reading: Fashion Books
One feature of my job I adore is the community library. It’s in the 9th floor kitchen (which is conveniently located across from my office). Two bookcases chock full of the most random assortment of books. People donate books they no longer want, we employees grab one to peruse while our Lean Cuisine is heating… Continue Reading Not Fashion Related – The Hunger Games
