Handbags and Gladrags
Here’s something I don’t understand about the nouveau riche “ladies who lunch” in the upper echelon of society. You know, the women who are buffed to a high sheen from weekly manicures and facials and plan their schedules around committee meetings about fundraisers and the like? Why are they so often described as a “socialite and handbag designer” by reporters? Does the world need thousands of people to draw blueprints for purses? …

House Proud – Vive Le Salle de Bain! Toronto Sun
Who would have thought that my trip to Europe would leave me coveting a couple of commercial bathroom gizmos that haven’t been seen in real-life operation in this part of the world? At least, they’ve never been seen by me or any of the envious friends with whom I’ve shared stories of these washroom wonders. There’s real disappointment in knowing I can’t have them for my own home – at least not yet. …
