Monica Arnold….A Breath of Fresh Air
Thursday, November 19th, 2009
the many faces of monica
I learned of this inspiring woman by accident. 28 year old R&B singer Monica Arnold handles 2 kids, a music career and is true to her ethics and close to her family. No stories of drugs, rehab, parties or missed engagements, and she’s devoted to her fans. Imagine that in Hollywood today. She’s survived many tragedies and keeps on going , just a real girl doing her thing without much ado. The girl’s got it going and (the best part) she has great taste in sunglasses! She has been spotted several times wearing one of my favorite brands, Sospiri.
Who is styling Brad Pitt these days?
Wednesday, November 18th, 2009
I guess he’s tired of being “hot”. Somehow, this mountain man look just doesn’t work for me. He grew the tangled beard for a role in his new movie The Lost City of Z, but just doesn’t seem to have done the best job of maintaining it. And as if the beautiful actor could make matters worse:
he has added silver beads to it. What is he thinking…or is he?
Brad and Angelina Designing Jewelry at Asprey
Tuesday, November 17th, 2009
Being the self proclaimed grande dame of all things fashion related, I usually get great pleasure dissing celebs who think they can design ( i.e.Lindsay Lohan for Ungaro). However, I have to say in this case the dynamic Hollywood duo of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie is doing a fab job designing jewelry for Asprey. From a PR perspective, it was pure genius on Asprey’s part to align themselves with the notorious couple. Best of all a percentage of the proceeds goes to Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, …of course.

Shocked At The Surcharge
Monday, November 16th, 2009
I always feel so cosmopolitan in a great pair of sunglasses hailing a taxicab in New York. This weekend however, my shades hit the floor when I discovered the 50 cent surcharge hike, raising my evening cab surcharge a whopping $1.50! This may not seem like too much, but when you read that this 50 cent increase is projected to piggybank $80-85 million for the transit budget (barely 1% of the overall MTA budget), it makes you see how that increase really adds up. How do you think this will effect the already suffering taxi business, let alone bite into tips for our hard working NYC drivers?
