ANNOUNCEMENT

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 my delight when I learned about the Stella Shouting contest in the French Quarter! One of the many reasons I love New Orleans.

If you happen to be in NOLA in March, come scream at me!

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.

  • New Orleans Easter

    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…

  • St. Louis Cathedral in the French Quarter

    Hours

    For sheer pomp and glamour, you can’t beat this stunning cathedral. Standing sentry over the French Quarter for hundreds of years, this is one building I really wish could talk! It is surrounded by the first apartment buildings every built in this country, the Pontalba buildings, and overlooks the Quarter and the Mississippi. It’s beautiful, and I saw Ellis Marsalis perform a Christmas concert there a while back. (We left when my 2-year-old started splashing in the holy water.) The…

  • Fleur De Paris

    The storefront window alone is worth the trip, with its carousel horse,  glamorous, sparkling clothing, evening gloves, 1920’s style speakeasy coats trimmed in chinchilla (I’ll only buy faux!), but their main claim to fame?One-of-a-kind Hats!Fleur De Paris has the most incredible array of hats—from 1920’s diamond flapper hats to English riding hats to Kentucky Derby stunners. If you are a high roller and in the mood to buy something stunning and frivolous, this is the place for you! If you’re…

  • A Pirate in the Park

    Hours

    Ok, technically he wasn’t REALLY a pirate…he was a commodore. Or so he said. We were playing on the playground in Audubon Park when I spied out of the corner of my eye, a man striding across the park wearing a long pirate coat, pirate pants, tall boots, a sword in his scabbard, and a huge three-cornered hat complete with dancing feathers on his head.  His long black hair was tied back in a ponytail. “Annabelle! Look! A pirate!” I…

    My Beautiful Barbarians

    Hours

    This blog post is a combination of one I wrote in 2007, continued in 2013 and finished in 2019, although maybe I’ll add to it in another 6 years.         My three-year-old daughter just took a parasol out of her baby brother’s hand. I say, “Miss Annabelle, you can not take toys from Henry.” She glares at me, stomping one bare foot and growling. She’s standing in her Curious George underwear, so small and delicate, her hair in wild toddler curls…

  • The Super Deluxe Vintage Shop: Decades

    Hours

    So I adore Decades. It is a shop on Melrose in Los Angeles that has the most fabulous new and vintage collection EVER. Imagine if you’re Catherine Deneuve or Angelica Huston and you are interested in passing along a few pieces from your closet to people who will appreciate them properly: both of them did this through Decades. Have a few Birkins you’re tired of seeing unused in your closet? Send them to Decades. If you’re Julia Roberts or Angelina…
