Posted on August 31, 2010 by Kari Lucin

Of course, what I love about the Emmys is the clothes. Sometimes I love to hate them. Feathers seem to be featured this year, but I can never see them without  thinking one of two things: 1. Which Las Vegas … Continue reading →

Shop Til You Drop

Posted on April 22, 2010 by Kari Lucin

I’m not one of those girls who likes shopping. I don’t relish picking out clothes from a rack, I don’t enjoy bringing everything to the try-on rooms and I especially don’t enjoy actually trying everything on. Part of it is that I’m … Continue reading →

GaGa for Lady GaGa?

Posted on November 25, 2009 by Kari Lucin

I bought Lady GaGa’s 2008 CD because 1. It has annoyingly catchy tunes and 2. It perfectly embodied Soren Kierkegaard’s aesthetic mode as detailed in "Either/Or" (no, I’m not kidding). When I listened to it, though, I noticed she is … Continue reading →

Beauty Is Only Skin Deep… Without Botox.

Posted on November 21, 2009 by Kari Lucin
