Marc Jacobs gave us looks reminiscent of a 1980’s snooty saleswoman from the film, “Pretty Woman”. And if you’re too young to remember that film, just picture an insufferable Lady Gaga judging a prostitute hoowah relentlessly. Anywho (wa), these looks all spoke to me! It was pink! It was poufy! …

It was the usual gaudy Dolce & Gabbana show, except this time they laid on the gaudiness real thick. There were lots of gilded, gold embroidery upon black for a most dramatic impact. Seriously, it was like Liberace going to a Transylvanian funeral. In other words, I liked it. Anywho, …

Check out these Victorian-style necklaces from Mama’s Little Babies. My fave is, of course, the fishing kitty and kitty trio and the ‘pussy white’- awww, heck, I love them ALL! I have to say the reason why I love the Victorian era is the profuse use of BOWS! Seriously, even straight …
