A Trendinista Turned Politico

Jill S. posted an article on - Nov 18, 2011, 10:58 am
For the past five years -- through illness and divorce, cross-country moves and failed business start-ups -- the one thing that kept me sane was trend watching. I know, sounds ridiculous.

Style Inspiration: Bill Murray

Jill S. posted an article on - Sep 22, 2011, 11:04 am
Bill Murray, the comedic genius and salt-and-pepper love of my life, turns 61 today. Okay. So maybe he's not THE "love of my life." But I've been hooked since first seeing a re-run of his 'Nick the lounge singer' skit on SNL at the ripe old age of 10. I was supposed to be asleep. But instead, I was...

I recently came across this Johnny Quist tee by Grover (below) which reminded me of an episode of HBO's Cathouse (when Chibbles the clown -- dressed head-to-toe in his yuck yucks -- requested clown kink with one of the working girls, and got it!)
