Transport Thursday!

No animals in the photo today except unicorns. This is Lynn who does the same job I do for our rescue. Completely independent of each other, we ended up wearing identical sweaters on Ugly Christmas Sweater Thursday. We take the word “team” to new levels depths.

She keeps me sane EVERY day, and I’m pretty sure we are the two tiredest people in Houston.

Tiny Tuesday!

Not too long ago I shared this book on here, saying I wanted my own copy. It arrived, and sometimes I may use it, sometimes not, to start a new weekly feature on the blog, “Tiny Tuesdays!” This is for the little things that make me happy, and I’d love it if you used the theme on your own blog or Instagram (I mean, you could Facebook it, but I’d never see it, because I don’t Facebook). But I’d enjoy seeing the tiny good things of your world.

I wish I had a Barbie doll in my house right now to show you the scale of this. It’s too big to be a Barbie briefcase, and maybe a little too slender to be a Barbie suitcase, but I’ve long wanted to use it in a Model Muse photoshoot.


It was a gift from my mother many, many years ago. What is it?


Tiny but practical.

What’s tiny in your Tuesday?

Transport Thursday!

Longtime readers may remember the days when I was a fashion designer for dolls. I often used socks as dress material. If I had more time, I’d link to some of those creations. But mostly I wanted to show you that one of our great foster moms Mary Jean had the same idea for chihuahua sweaters.

Fashion forward Caliope.

I think this is a fabulous idea. I haven’t pitched it to Just Jack just yet…

I’m reluctant to post the photo below because it shows my fashion queen Anna Wintour with Harvey Weinstein at a Marchesa (fashion line of Weinstein’s estranged wife, Georgina Chapman) runway show. So I’ll say up front that it sounds like Weinstein is a pig who enjoyed a lot of success in the entertainment industry because his company has made some amazing movies with stellar talent. But he apparently used his success and power in a piglike way to sexually harass, belittle, assault, demean, and torment women. This is not new behavior, nor is it confined to the so-called Hollywood “casting couch.” It’s just that his are the accusers who have begun stepping forward–and that takes real courage–and now everyone who was ever in the same city as him feels that they must denounce him even as they say they were unaware of his piglike behavior, because boy, do humans flee the flames when a star begins his fiery descent to the pit of publicity hell to be finished off on a spit.

(Also, I’m sorry to insult pigs, who I happen to admire in a way I could never admire Weinstein, and I don’t like to see them on spits.)

All that being said, observe Miss Wintour, below. Do you like her dress?

Did you like its reverse colors in November 2009 when it was designed by Becks?

Looks like we are both crafty women. But she accessorizes better. My Anna Wintour needed those boots.
