ACL Afterparties

But Lyssa, I thought couldn’t handle ACL? According to last year’s ACL post, where, BTW, I share some tips to live by ifidosaysomyself, I have retired from ACL. But friends, as evidenced by my frantic tweeting to score a 3-day pass (done! love you, twitter), I am back on the wagon. I am a journalist,…

SXSW 2009: Saturday’s Schedule

I’m in Houston for Beer Bike, our biggest, weirdest event where people start boozing at 6am. But here I am at a Keggs ‘n Eggs party, making sure the good people in Austin know what to do today. I would recommend a Venti Starbucks coffee with whisky, but that’s just me. Anyway, the top 5…

Oscar Fashion = the fishtail is in

Fishtail? When a dress is a tight column until it poofs out at the bottom, it’s a fishtail. Also called a mermaid. Because, well, mermaids are women with fishtails. Last night’s Oscars, which were marked by the fishtail, a number of red, white, and black gowns (white?!), some shimmery gowns, and a lot of updos…

Let’s talk accessories …

Since life has apparently shut down excepting New Year’s Eve promotions, I have to find something else to blog about. So I’m thinking about accessories. Mainly because I a) don’t have any to go with my stunning vintage dress that I will wear on said NYE, and b) I’m thinking of cute things to get…
