The Glamourous New York City Gals' DO's and DONT'S
for Not Getting Away this Summer.
Staycation. (Stay - ka'- shun) generally means a
vacation
spent close to home. It doesn't mean you stay right in your home, but it
means you stay close to home. (in fact, pretty darn close to home).
As my dear friend Donald Trump used to say repeatedly, even running a
full-page ad in New York Times one year in the late 80's stating, "New
York City is for the people who pay to live here. So, if you can't
afford to live here.. LEAVE."

I strongly suggest you trust no
monkey. My name is Michelle and this is my story...
When I was growing up, the Sanyour's, a family who lived about a half mile down the street and around the
corner, kept a cute 'ol Spider Monkey named Cookie in the laundry room.
Gosh, did we ever love her...
We dressed her up like Buffy from A Family Affair, looping her flyaway
hair into two high ponytails with polka dot silk print bows on either side.
We would make curly cues out of her wiry monkey hair, thinking she resembled
Cindy from the Brady Bunch (...I'm showing a little of my age here, I
apologize). ..(READ

Marianna takes
a fashion risk... after Halloween.
It's always depressing to fold that Halloween costume
up, smooshing it back into the plastic bag. Sometimes my impulse is to
throw it out (heavens no !!), or to relegate it to the back of the laundry
basket or whatever ... having only worn it once, for a few hours.
So imagine my sheer pleasure while watching today's
New York Marathon, when I ran into Marianna, still wearing her Wonder Woman
costume two days later and seriously grooving to the beats of her boyfriend's
band
Superman's Guest List.

After having carefully combed a
number of the costume stores around the city earlier this week looking for just
the right get up, something dawned on me... How come there are no Hillary
Clinton Halloween Costumes? Strange?
Yes, there were plenty of Sarah Palin
ones. Like there was one with a star spangled bikini coupled with a cheap
cardboard crown and a Miss Alaska banner that goes across the body.

and I was sooo hoping to make his
"Best Dressed List" this year...
Well, folks, a long and fully fashionable
life came to an end earlier this week, with the passing of Mr. Blackwell.
He was 86.
His legacy of who was "Best Dressed"
and who was "Worst Dressed" has an iconic ring to those of us who obsess about
what the truly fabulous do with their fabulous-ness. Consequently,
the serious notion of actually compiling a list of people, based solely around
the hollow principle of how they dress, in a cumulative way, or at a given
event, was made popular by Mr. Blackwell. What followed? :
