OT/Marilyn aka Moonchiming
We haven't heard from Marilyn lately and was just wondering if she is okay. Last we had heard, she had just been in the hospital. Does anyone talk to her?

OT/The Snobs Among Us, Part II
Interesting commentary from a local magazine. http://www.coastmagazine.com/commentary.html Some of you will recall that Coast ran a column about 18 months ago regarding the differences among the denizens of Old Newport (ON), New Newport (NN) and New N

$300 Cofarbucks in My Pocket
Thanks to a kindly behind-the-scene enabler, bought an exquisite bright pink Italian leather portfolio at Filene's Basement today. Saw it from a distance in a bin. Curbed my temptation to knock over a few grannies in mad dash to lay claim. Was $40

Pink Uggs Revisited
If I am not mistaken, on The Bachelor the other night, they provided all of the girls going on a snow outing with Pink Uggs. Anyone else notice that?

Leggings/Tights for men
Personally, I LOVE wearing form fitting tights/leggings. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that today's workplace is ready for a guy to wear this sort of garment. How do women feel about a guy wearing opaque tights or leegings in the workplace? Secondly,

Removing poison ivy from clothing
My question is simple: can I just wash the clothes or do I need to treat them with something first? If I just wash the clothes, will I hopelessly contaminate the washing machine, which I share with a number of other tenants so that would be quite u

Nail Repair?
Asking for help again. I'm a biologist who just took a new job which requres me to wear latex gloves about six hours a day, sometimes more. My nails have become a peeling, soft mess due to the fact that I'm handling hot products and wearing the gloves

Bed Head Manipulator Shampoo/Conditioner
Has anyone tried this product? Is it new? I have used the Manipulator hair goop, but was interested in trying the shampoo and conditioner. Is it a volumizing/texturizing shampoo, or just a regular shampoo with the yummy Manipulator scent? Thanks!

QVC fans
Today is Diamonique Day on QVC. Quite a few items on sale, I ordered a sterling silver multi chain necklace with a diamonique heart. I think Laurie is a Diamonique fan...thought I would let you all know about this theme day. Carol

May Town & Country
This is a very good issue. The theme is look and live your best. There is an excellent article about Katharine Hepburn and the Sotheby's auction of her personal items that is expected to net in excess of over one million dollars for her estate to bene

Doyle Vintage Fashion Auction Preview
If you're in or near New York this week-end and looking for something to do -- you might want to stop in at Doyle Galleries. It's on 87th (I think between 1st & 2nd). You'll be able to preview the Doylae Vintage Fashion Auction. These are phenomenal

OT: Bead Bazaar Denver
Hi All, Don't know how many are in the Denver area, but I do know there is quite a core group of beaders on here. Saw an ad in the paper this morning for a Bead Bazaar, sponsored by the Rocky Mountain Bead Society. 50 Classes & 100 Vendors. The Baza

L'Oreal True Match Foundation
Has anyone tried L'Oreal True Match Foundation? I used to be a firm believer that unless it came from a department store, foundation wouldn't be any good. I thought I would buy something cheap for my gym bag, so I picked up a bottle of the true match

What lipstick are you wearing today?
Francesca Guerrera beige di rosa, Kanebo LL0, which I think is misty rose, and L'Oreal juicy tube gloss in golden splash. Audrey

La Dolce Vita--Shopping Italian Style
Just got back from my Easter holiday in Rome, Castle Gandolfo and Devon (a quick visit to my mother-in-law) I only had two days in each place but I made some "insider" discoveries... First of all, I know I've said this in the past but hopefully thi

Buying leather jacket in Italy
One of my friends is going to Italy next month (various cities) and wants to find the perfect soft buttery leather jacket. Do you have any recommendations of places to look? She would not likely be looking to spend a huge amount of money, but not look
