Top & Bottom Monday's

My Three Top Picks of the Week are:

Thefashiondaddy.com is a relatively new fashion and style blog and since its launch last January readers have responded positively and have had great things to say about it. The blog is fun and funny, casual, sweet as candy, loaded with great fashion stories since its founder was a fashion student and a fashion model too—readers get a behind the scene kind of experience. Every Monday the “Top & Bottom Monday’s” post is funny, clever and very real. On Wednesday the “Tales & Dreams” entry is sometimes intimate, personal but also imaginative and filled with frankness and a playful truth. This blogger takes his fashion seriously and he’s now trying to draft a huge set of followers. His mission is to trigger a feeling or a reaction with his writing and his experiences. Check it out and you’ll like it! Follow The Fashion Daddy.

Marc Jacobs Spring RTW collection draws direct inspiration from the 70's.

I love the 70’s look for Spring/Summer. The Studio 54 look is fizzy and bouncy. Get a slinky dress in a color that is grown up and screams the 70’s. For those young gals who are too young to remember colors such as emerald green, a rich purple, cobalt blue and sapphire can surely make you feel like dancing-sans the disco ball and the whole muddled party scene. Marc Jacobs did the 70’s so great (in more ways than one) this Spring. Look for this trend to be the big hit of the season.



The Elizabeth Taylor Memorial Brunch will be frantically glamorous, entertaining, wild and extravagant.

The Elizabeth Taylor Memorial Brunch this coming Sunday at Gertrude’s in the beautiful BMA. Renowned event planner Jay Day organized, planned, conceptualized, advertised and I think he’s cooking, bartending and serving the food too; this event will pay tribute to Dame Elizabeth Taylor one of our last iconic figures of cinema, style and fashion. She was probably our last true movie star. I’m looking forward to this extravagant, pompous, flamboyant and emotional affair.  

My Three Bottom Picks of the Week Are:

Charlie Sheen the self-described “giant and leaky bag of mayhem” and his less than favorable reviews of his comedy stage show last weekend in Detroit and Chicago. It’s time for him to go away and rescue his reputation. Adieu!



Grumpy negative people can really do a lot of damage to your day and to your health.

People who are very unfashionably negative and grumpy. I can’t tolerate people who despite their good health, having a somewhat miserable job, a roof over their head, loving an unattractive someone and perhaps having a good group of friends and family, still prefer to be angry debbie downers. I know a woman who despite her good life she’s the most negative, bitter, angry, cynical, sarcastic, not funny and oversexed human being. Okay, maybe she’s very angry because she doesn’t have the best hair or the most attractive wardrobe, but that’s not my fault. I have decided that negative people are not for me; it takes too much energy to handle a negative someone—besides, life is too short to spend it with gloomy folks.



One of my heroes--Uncle Bud. Optimistic as ever, loving like no other and funny too



Cancer. Cancer is at the bottom of my list this week for so many reasons, mostly because it has affected me personally. I have lost two beautiful family members to cancer and currently my Uncle Bud is fighting a huge battle with this demonic disease. I encourage you to help fight this disease that affects millions worldwide. Follow this link and donate today. Thank you.
