being on the receiving end of a break up never feels groovy, but having it advertised all over town gives "getting kicked to the curb" a whole new meaning.

therefore, imagine how the city of los angeles felt when artist jon jackson dumped her for her east coast rival -- new york.  after years of tinseltown cohabitation, not only did jackson give LA the boot, but he put up five graphic billboards throughout her beloved neighborhoods to remind her.

from santa monica to west hollywood, jackson publicly declared his need to see other cities.

sorry, los angeles.  we know it stings.  pity party invitations are in the mail.

darlings, i'm feeling under the weather today.  i can barely get dressed without the assistance of my robot, jean paul.  (ugh, and he's making me wear those damn sensible shoes...again!)

i'll be back tomorrow or monday.  miss you already!

stay pretty,
xoxo

kittens, if you're like me, you spent last night eating candy and watching the golden globes.  the fashion spanned from breathtaking to bridesmaid and street-walker to stunner -- and i loved it all.

as i always say, "when in doubt, make it sparkle."  luckily, a few of the gals over the years have heeded my fashion philosophy, and to them i'd like to say...

"you're welcome."
