Stakeouts and Skinny Ties

Dear Digidiary, Today I am sad. Would you like to know why? Well, for starters, my computer is spazzing out. Problem number one. And for two, I tried to meet Karl Lagerfeld today, but alas, no dice. A couple weeks back, I called up the lovely and talented Nancy Walsh at Chanel and asked if [...]

Release the Flipping Hounds!

For a few years after college, I worked at a tony girls’ boarding school in Northern England. The students ranged from 10 to 19 years-old and just about all of them were fox hunters, except the kids whose parents worked at the school. They were way too “common” (read- poor) to hunt.

Nudies and gnar

The villagers are fuming and they’re storming towards Burton with pitchforks and stakes! They demand justice! Head for the hills! That’s pretty much what it feels like here with all the angry e-mails and calls I’ve gotten about Burton’s new Love line of snowboards that have naked Playboy bunnies splayed across the top sheet.

Mud, Sweat and Tears

I’m going to tell you all a little story about a small personal triumph. I know that makes most of you want to stop reading and go barf somewhere, but I promise it’ll be mildly entertaining. But before we begin, I need to introduce you to the cast of characters: Lea- the pro Becca- the [...]
