  • Spoke no evil

    I sat on the plane trying to watch the movie. As Speak No Evil continued to play on my Delta seatback screen, I became more and more irritated with the protagonists. There were so many times they should have left the situation, fled the grasps of the mad man, but they didn’t. Instead, they just…

  • Eggs, man

    If you are based in the U.S., you probably already know about the huge spike in egg prices. From $1.98 per dozen all the way up to a whopping $8, the price increase has made the once economical breakfast a luxury good. As hard hit as the breakfast table is, there is an impact on…

  • I have more thoughts on Sabato de Sarno leaving Gucci

    As I did my digging to learn more about Sabato de Sarno’s entrance to and exit from Gucci, I questioned whether two years were enough time. Is it reasonable to expect a designer to turn around a brand in a mere 24 months? If you think about what Gucci came to represent, you have to…

  • Sabato de Sarno is out

    I still have the video Gucci put out, “Who is Sabato de Sarno?” on my watch later list. Now it would be pointless to watch. After entering the brand through the hole left by Alessandro Michele, Sarno had high expectations thrust upon him. Presumably, he didn’t meet those expectations, and that is why he is…

  • Missed opportunity

    I had a clear shot, but I didn’t take it. Served on a platter was an opportunity to displease someone, to finally face head on my tendency to people please. And yet, I stuttered. I stammered something instead of answering the question head on. Rather than being direct and done with it, I choice to…

  • First impression: The Skin Reset Serum by Emma Lewisham

    Today I am going to give you my first impression of the Emma Lewisham Skin Reset Serum. This will not be a thorough review at all, because I only used the product for two days. Here is the first thing that I noticed. On day one I put it on after washing my face. It…

  • Quick review: Chris Collins Lost in Paradise

    It is winter, so I need a bit of an escape. Lost in Paradise by Chris Collins takes me away to a tropical paradise. It smells of coconut without leaning too far in to the “sunscreen” territory. As it dries down on my skin, it becomes much more floral forward. If you like fragrances like…

  • Vacation window shopping

    I am sitting here, Google stalking the area around a hotel I have never been to, never booked a stay at, and barely know about. I had only learned about it and now have a desire to learn even more. So here I am, planning out the details for possible journey from the airport, any…

  • And now on to Bianca Cesori’s outfit, if we can call it that

    Bianca Cesori showed up to the 2025 Grammy Awards, arm in arm with Kanye West. As she stood for photos, I am sure photographers thought it was a retelling of the Emperor’s New Clothes. Cesori wore a dress so shear, she might as well have been wearing nothing at all. Perhaps she was able to…
