Trashy Diva
This store could have been named for the ultimate trashy diva–me!
Incredible retro designs in gorgeous fabrics cut for today’s bodies—I have an entire collection of stunning dresses, skirts, silk slips, velvet coats, shoes, jewels…you get the picture. Love the ultra sparkly brooches and necklaces, and most glamorous vintage purses!! And of course stunning flowers for your hair! They always play glamorous old music for your shopping pleasure and to get you in the mood for their vintage designs. Their designer, Candace Gwynn, is a genius! Her dress designs somehow manage to flatter my gi-normous tatas and my girlfriend’s small B tata’s at the same time! They look amazing on every body type! And the silks!! So luxurious!! And my all-time favorite purchase at Trashy Diva? The stunning and endlessly glamorous Garbo coat. A gorgeous design in luxe black and ivory silk velvet—I get so many comments when I wear it. It keeps you warm, frames your face, and makes you look like you’re about to go have cocktails at Ciro’s with Garbo and Joan Crawford!!
This is me wearing the Garbo coat at my nephew’s wedding at a ski resort in Utah!

I lie here on my pink puffy bed in my pink silky pajamas, or pink flannel depending on my mood (the only thing you can bank on is that there will be chocolate smeared somewhere on my attire), with my pink feathered pen, writing my most delicious daydreams. Funny? Sometimes. Scandalous? Hopefully. Inspiring? Perhaps. Full of love? Always.

Welcome to my World.

    If you want eye-catching one-of-a-kind vintage jewelry, take a jaunt to Twentieth Century Ltd. 73 Charles Street in Beacon Hill. The other day I was taking a walk around Beacon Hill with my dear friend from New Orleans, Cathy, and the kids. We walked to get cupcakes at Sweet, an excellent destination for a walk, when we walked by a window I had never seen filled with crazy vintage hats and sparkles. I stopped in my tracks even though we…

    Hear Ye! Hear Ye! I am thrilled to announce that my dream is coming true! I will be a Judge for the Stella Shouting Contest at the Tennessee Williams Literary Festival in New Orleans in March 2022. This is a dream for me as I have taken my children to the contest since they were toddlers where they would scream Stella at the top of their lungs. (I was so proud.) I am a huge Tennessee Williams fan, so imagine…

    We had the BEST Easter!! No church for us–we went to the Easter parade in the French Quarter led by an 80-year-old Bourbon Street Stripper! It was a whole lot more fun than church, and more representative of the beginning of Spring–beauty, fertility, life, fun, babies, treasures, joy…  Let’s back up a bit. The weather has been so perfectly gorgeous that we ran very late yesterday and our egg dying turned into a bit of a frenzy. That didn’t stop George…

    Stella is arguably the best restaurant in New Orleans (and that’s saying something!). Stella is fancy and super fabulous with that attention to detail that takes it a step ahead of all others. Peanut allergy? They’ll note it in their computer so every time you reserve a table, they know what you can’t eat! The sommelier, John, is the best we’ve ever had. So affable, knowledgeable, and lovely–it’s worth it to go just to meet him. Stella is on Chartres…

    Fifi Mahoney’s! A showgirl’s dream on Royal Street in the French Quarter, Fifi Mahoney’s is beyond fabulous! When I was a showgirl in Los Angeles, I had to get my wigs and makeup at skanky smelly dives on Hollywood Boulevard. I thought I had stepped into Showgirl Heaven when I entered Fifi’s. A red velvet couch shaped like lips, three rooms full of anything a showgirl could desire! A front room full of fabulous makeup, sparkly jewels and hairbands with…
