Molly just turned in her final line at the Apparel Arts school where she’s been studying the last two years to be a pattern maker. In the world of high fashion there is the designer who dreams up the clothing, the pattern maker who turns the sketches into replicable blueprints, sewers who actually fabricate the [...]

Earlier this month Michael David Murphy, a great photographer that should be in everyone’s flickr contact list, as an aside, pointed out the americangothic tag was worth a look. Until I met Molly I had presumed American Gothicism died with Faulker. She showed me where to look and who to read and how to see [...]

Last week Molly and I “rented” our first movie from Amazon’s Unbox that connects to most networked Tivo.
We gave it an overall review of lame.
Yes we were able to “rent” a movie from our couch and have it get pushed to our TV, but it took 6 hours to download before it could even [...]

Moxie graduated from Puppy Kindergarten tonight! We got her diploma and everything. I highly recommend Perfect Paws if you live in the Bay Area, for puppy or any type of behavioral training.

It’ll be sad to see her move out, but it’s important for her to get a job and find her own way.

If you are over 50, or share my last name, then you’ll be familiar with Miss Rheingold.

Three years ago today Molly and I got married. It truly has been wonderful to have such a stabilizing partner who loves to explore life as much as I do. She’s my biggest fan and my greatest inspiration.

Thanks Molly, from the bottom of my heart.

Molly, Timmmii and I we’re having a cocktailly dinner when Molly said, I’m such a picky bitch. I thought it would be a great name for a chick band. She thought it would be great for a website. Assuming pickybitch.com would be taken (it is) Molly quickly said “get the .ch” and we did, and [...]

OMB! (Oh Molly’s Boobs) This is too much! Irina Slutsky from GETV, Molly and many other good peeps make a timely spoof on SNL’s D*ck in a Box.

Great work Irina!

Guy Friday entries have been about shoes, outerwear, dressing for sex appeal, chic on the cheap, independent distributors, tucking-in, and [...]
