Ladies and gentlemen, meet the adorable and charming Ricky Minkus-Holmes, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. You'll learn more about him in the future.
He is seriously the cutest dog I've ever laid eyes on. Yes, Mary's incredibly cute and I love her to pieces, but when it comes to so-cute-it-looks-like-a-stuffed-animal type of cuteness, Ricky wins.
Congratulations, Ricky! Man, you're CUTE!!!
The original (and only, if you ask me; stop trying to make perfect stuff better, Hollywood!) Wonder Woman, Lynda muthaf**kin' Carter, celebrates a milestone today: 60 years old. You look fabulous, lady. Go!
This. Video. Clip. Is. AWESOME. You need to watch it. I implore you from the bottom of my happy little heart.

Farewell, Amy. Dead at 27, just like Joplin, Morrison, Hendrix and Cobain, not to mention Robert Johnson and Brian Jones. Let's hope her troubled soul is finally at peace.

P.S. No more close-call divorce situations with Perla. We like her. She's bossy. Thanks in advance.

Dahling, let’s face it: Albuquerque isn’t exactly fashion paradise. Though we’re definitely making progress, there’s still much to be desired. What to do when the shopping bug bites (sadly, I can’t use “when the fashion bug bites,” as the mere thought of Fashion Bug leaves ghastly, retail chain poly-blend scars in my psyche) and we’ve nowhere in town to turn? Get ready to click that mouse like a fiend, because it’s time to hit the Internets, children!
Shopbop.com Ah, Shopbop … how do I love thee? Since its launch in 2000, this site has become a global must-click for web-based women’s apparel and accessories. Shop by designer, trend, boutique or discount (up to 70 percent off!). You’ll find classics from Balmain, Halston, Michael Kors and Yves Saint Laurent, as well as newer faves like William Rast, Winter Kate and Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony. Side note: How much do we love Drew Droege’s Chloe Sevigny parodies?! They totally make me want to take a Bikram yoga class wearing a fitness bra by Imitation of Christ, culottes by Danskin and goldenrod Havaianas. OK, back to shopping. Let’s resume!
Avelle.com Welcome to handbag Nirvana. This site has thousands of high-end designer bags, sunglasses and jewelry by Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Fendi and many other delightful brands. Expensive? Yes, indeed. But here’s the good news: You can rent them all! Rent these perfect-condition items by the week, month or season, then you have the option to buy them or swap them for something else. More good news: free shipping. You can even rent an Hermès Birkin bag. Helloooo?!? Did someone say five-star fabulous? I did! Why? Because it’s a Birkin bag, for crying out loud. Any handbag lover knows if you say the word Birkin three times in front of a mirror, the ghost of Jane Birkin will appear, wave her wand and make all your dreams come true. Yes, I realize Jane’s still alive; minor technicality; don’t steal my urban legend thunder.

Oh, Rufus... dear, dear, sweet, wonderful Rufus Wainwright. God among men. Prodigy of the McGarrigle/Wainwright clan. Extraordinary, unadulterated talent. Happy 38th birthday, genius. Love you so. Thanks for creating one of the greatest songs on the Fabü Top 10. It's also on my funeral list. Hate to be morbid, but we're all gonna go someday, kids. When I do, you'll all hear this...

She's popular in Europe; let's see how she does here. She's like the Cheryl Cole of breast-feeding, I suppose... Ladies and gentlemen, meet Breast Milk Baby, coming soon to a store near you.
Made by Berjuan Toys of Spain, BMB comes with a top for girls featuring two flowers where the nipples should be. When BMB's mouth connects with the flowers, she makes sucking noises.
Um... I'm still trying to decide whether Breast Milk Baby fascinates or frightens me. Thoughts?

Thanks to my dear pal, Joey Abbin, for sharing this gem, Atlas & Saint Patrick.
In the spirit of the Marwencol (2000 documentary about brain-damaged Mark Hogancamp's doll-filled town in his yard), the Beastie Boys have released their new Spike Jonez music video for Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win (feat. Santigold). Absolutely epic!
