I had a very important revelation last night. Serge Gainsbourg and Pepe le Pew are one and the same. If you don't know what I'm talking about, watch THIS.

Been spending some time getting to know Iris Apfel lately (via the internet, of course) and she is a teddy bear nut. She might go in for these sartorially-inclined little Mr. and Miss. They are so damned sweet- I smile whenever I catch their eye.

Modern Alchemy solid perfumes, $40
It's particularly nice out today, and I don't mean to be a Cassandra, but a little beast called winter is brewing. I find fragrance to be one of the easiest ways to beat the dirty winter blues. These little lockets fit in a pocket and avoid the uncouthness that is spraying yourself and your neighbor on the subway. Nobody likes that, even if its some Chanel no 5 you're spraying. I'm partial to the jasmine sambac- we've also got lily of the valley and tuberose.

A huge hats off to The Village Voice for A - not just looking at my outdated website and writing about the same old same olds and B - knowin' what's what for, like, ever. Seriously. I'm honored.

Do you have a cat and a dog who insist on drinking out of your bedside water glass? I sure know I do. Here is the solution to my shared water glass situation!

The first of the Christmas cards arrived the other day. They are all fantastically awesome, though sadly none feature the head-as-bell motif.

I win this weekend's prize for the laziest, and I couldn't be happier. I'd like to thank my couch, my lounge-wear...

I inherited a strong love of pens from my dear dad. I have many many. They are all over my house and in every bag I own. But where are they when I most need them? Full of betrayal, those pens. No more. Hanging around my neck on a nice long chain, it is close to my heart (to remind me of my dad), as well as at my finger tips, to meet all my pen-related needs, which are great. (Great in quantity, not so much in quality.)
Soooooon they will be available on line as well. The world needs to know about this.

It's a fine day when a stationer is induced to buy stationery from another stationer. Austin Press, today is that fine day. I want one of everything we just got in the shop.

State INSECTS!

Assuming the very talented Amy Ruppel has done her research, the people in charge of state insects could use a little help in the imagination department. Why do New York, Ohio and Delaware (DELAWARE??) all have the ladybug representing them in this extremely important category? And no less than 14 of our 50 states have the honeybee as their state insect. Pretty much every other state has a variety of butterfly, with a few praying mantises scattered in there. Come on people. Maybe you actually do need some six year olds to help you out.
Personally, I would like to offer the mosquito as New York's state insect.
