My Gender Bending Quotes for the Telegraph

My hysterical and witty friend and journalist Melissa Whitworth asked me to give my 2 cents for her article on the new trend of gender bending models.

Check out what I had to say here.

Treats from Sips & Bites

I was about to head to Duane Rizzle to get some crap food to bring on the plane to Atlanta tomorrow when my buzzer rang and a glittery box arrived at my door.

Molly Quirk, who everyone knows from her ridonkulous catering she provides for my annual birthday bash (mini Hot Browns?!) has started her own catering company and sent these delicious boxes to friedns and family.

Mine was filled with:
Mexican hot chocolate brownies

Mini apple loaf with oatmeal streusel

Mini cranberry loaf with pecan streusel

Candied spiced nuts

Cocktail napkins

Liquor chocolates (just a little ghetto thrown in!)


Now I have the perfect group of treats for the plane and for my car ride to Charleston.
Thanks Molly!
Y'all email her if you need some vittels in your life!

It was a caftan-mosphere in Art Basel

This year when pondering what the hell I was going to wear for five days in the heat of Miami at the kookiest art/fashion event of the year I just figured- LETS DO IT!
All caftans.
So I rolled up the following:

• My first caftan I bought in Egypt in navy with red and white embroidery which apparently is a woman's wedding gown

• The black djellaba Rod and PHJ brought me from Morrocco

• The African one I had made for Chloe's wedding in Botswana

• My newest one from John Bartlett with a camo print of his late and wonderful three legged dog, Tiny Tim

The result? The best idea ever! All I had to do is roll out of bed, throw one on and head out, bathing suit underneath. At night I would add a turban and voila.

Laure, one of the owners of The Webster informed me that they are called Boubou's in West Africa.
YAY a new name!
Djellaba
Caftan
Boubou


Now I have to find four new ones for next year. I'm not too worried, John and I are already talking new prints and there are a load of spots on 125th Street that can whip some up.



Now if only I could get one lines in cashmere for this frost freeze. Pringle of Scotland are you listening?
