Anyone out there have an extra invitation to a fancy Christmas ball? Because I'm dying for an excuse to wear a gown like the ones in British Vogue.

It's been so cold lately – I wish I had a little fur vest to keep me warm.

If you could only drink one beverage for the rest of your life (not including water), which one would you choose?

Oddly enough, this is a question people love to ask me. I don't drink alcohol, so people ask what I drink at parties (answer: water) and what constitutes a "fun" drink for me (answer: cranberry or pineapple juice). My new favorite juice is Snapple Lemonade Iced Tea, and my old favorite drink is a skim latte (seasonal favorite: pumpkin spice latte). But if I had the option of any beverage in the world, I'd probably still pick water.

These ex-Domino staffers are so creative (example: Lonny Mag)...

The Tim Burton retrospective at the MoMA starts November 22. And in anticipation of this sure-to-be-excellent show, photos from a Tim Burton-styled shoot for Harper's Bazaar.

It's no secret that Tyra favors the black models on ANTM (seriously, Sundai is still in the running?!). But we didn't know she secretly wished all the girls were a little more "ethnic" – until this week's photoshoot.

After reading a lengthy but interesting article about the Obamas' marriage in the NYT yesterday, I was happy to see Glamour's December cover today on The Cut. Those quippy Cut writers weren't as complementary, but I think the First Lady looks very cute.

Everyone is rocking the red lips lately – even backstage at the Prada show in Milan. I just might have to use this look with my killer Halloween costume this year.

If you had to be trapped in a TV show for a month, which show would you choose?

I would join the faculty of Glee and get Mr. Schuester to teach me some of his AMAZING dance moves.

The other day, roommate Judy sent me this blog – Advanced Style – about the wonderful and wacky looks of old people. I have a major soft spot for octogenarians, so of course I loved it and thought of my own grandparents. Since I've already written about my grandmother (Nonie), I thought I would share a couple pictures of my grandfather. He's the one with the impeccable style and black-rimmed glasses.
