There comes a point in life when you have to put aside some of your dreams. And I hereby officially relinquish my secret, long-held dream of being the "Lucky Girl." More »

It seems we're not the only ones obsessed with professional oversharer, food-phobic, American-and-child-hater Liz Jones. Begins a tart profile in the Guardian, "Is Liz Jones mad? I'm not sure. She certainly looks a bit mad." But that's just for starters: More »

In an interesting essay in the Sydney Morning Herald, Emily Maguire argues that not only have we lost our capacity for discretion, we resent it. Is oversharing the new etiquette? More »

Peggy Noonan. Two words I type and think: is there a smart way to say I like this woman? Kurt Andersen praises her "fair mindedness," Stephanopoulos her "tremendous insight," for which Brian Williams blogs that she deserves a Pulitzer — and probably a Peace Prize for getting none other than The Nation's William Greider to dub an antiabortion former Reagan speechwriter and Republican mystic "terrific." Of course, as my esteemed colleagues have pointed out, she's a fruitcake. She and her "TV-perfect auburn mane" get called to appear on news shows, as her WWD profiler Jacob Bernstein points out, because she's "reliably theatrical and can be counted on to flatter the host." To quoth Peggy herself, she can come off as "silly." And hang on a second, is there a chick other than Peggy quoted in this piece? Oh there, yeah one, a thousand words down, longtime friend and colleague Lisa Schwarzbaum, a liberal who says of Peggy: "Still we love her, because she can be so warm, so silly, so charming, so compassionate." Italics — wait for it — mine. More »

So, earlier today when I added the item about Viktor & Rolf making two-foot dolls to wear miniature replicas of their best designs, I played it down. I tried to pretend it was just another fashion item. I even called the dolls "sinister" because I know many people find doll-life as creepy as clown-life. But in my heart, I was singing. And I think it's time to admit something I've kept a closely-guarded secret for the past twenty years: I am obsessed with dolls. More »

Remember Leo Keliher? He's that virgin I made fun of last week after the New York Times Magazine published his musings on why he felt it important to deny his ever-present lust. It was a really cheap shot, not that it isn't always a cheap shot with me, but it was a cheap shot because some of the things he said made me think about actually thinking about the whole thing — lust, desire, need, self-sacrifice, blah blah — for a few minutes before I took the whole "God grant me the wisdom/empathy/attention span to resist the overpowering urge to turn this whole story into an explicit doggy style church pew fantasy, but not just yet" route. Leo, the son of a child molester whose mom's second husband had left her for a woman 20 years younger, who had seen a lot of shit for someone barely born in the Reagan administration, seemed like an extraordinarily thoughtful person. I emailed to tell him that, and he emailed me back and I thought I'd share. More »
