Sammi Sweetheart, Noose Around Your Neck
Sammi ‘Sweetheart’ Giancola is launching a capsule collection of jewelry on the heels of her signature fragrance, Dangerous. The Jersey Shore cast has marketed themselves to death, case in point, Snooki, who has 50 licensees of products ranging from bunny slippers to pocketbooks. I call Snooki the Pierre Cardin of New Jersey. Anyhoo, the limited edition collection of Sammi Sweetheart crap is priced from $15 to $45.… Read More »
Last season I reviewed Jersey Shore and somehow this season’s review is eerily similar. Could it be because nothing has really changed besides their location?

Paris Fashion Week is under way and there is much ado about nothing…so far, anyway. Love Dries van Noten. As the week goes on we will be slayed with fierceness from the usual suspects. The parties will be amazing, the hipness quotient will be high and the front row will be…well…whatever front rows are these days. A hodge-podge of faces and names that make it all worthwhile. Notably, Balenciaga had a groovy front row with Catherine Deneuve, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Orlando Bloom and Salma Hayek. That’s pretty cool, I’d say. Anyhooo, now onto the far more pressing topic of the day,… Read More »
