At last … Had my third meeting with the wonderful Raymond Davi today where we completed an elevator pitch/positioning statement that I actually love. I cannot tell you the sense of relief this provides me with — SERIOUSLY. For one thing, it relieves me of the burden of having to define myself a...

A while ago I’d discussed a possible promotion with Donna Karan’s people — they gave me all the clothes for the YOGA FOR SUITS DVD which we haven’t released yet — and then all parties got busy and the promotional ideas more or less faded to the back burner. Given my passion fo...

I watched a wonderful documentary today, BETWEEN THE FOLDS, about origami which won a Peabody award and is totally great. I’ve never thought that much about origami beyond that it seems rather interesting, but the world of these artist is AMAZING.  Just look at what they can do with a single piece of...

OK — that doesn’t exist — at least not yet, but Sally Hershberger is now charging $800 for a trim. [May I remind my faithful readers that I got the best haircut of my life for $5 at a local, non-descript Chinese place recommended by my friend Brian?] The reason I bring it up is because I&...

This season on 30 ROCK Jenna — while using leaches to reduce blood weight and tone under her eyes —  says memorably: “You’re nobody unless PETA loves you or hates you.” Well, PETA loves me and Belle — the President and Founder Ingrid Newkirk has enthusiastically endorsed...
