Back to the Garden

Steffie Nelson
Money may not buy you love, but $2.4 million can buy you prime real estate on “Love Street” — as in the song Jim Morrison wrote about living in Laurel Canyon in the ’60s. The Doors’ singer and his girlfriend rented a house near “the store where the creatures meet”......

Memorial Daze

Steffie Nelson
My legs hurt. My arms and torso ache. I never excercise, ever. But on Sunday, Steffie, Caroline, and about 10 of our friends played a full-on game of rounders (see Caroline's post below). I pitched a British inning, which takes 9 outs and has no balls (kind of like some......

Material Girl Returns

Steffie Nelson
First, she suspiciously played at a indie festival, now I get an email about Madonna Gallerie, a store set up in the lobby of W hotel, selling Madonna art, Madonna clothing, Madonna wines, and no doubt, her latest CD.

Style from the Pile

Steffie Nelson
Remember when going thrift shopping was like shooting fish in a barrel? Some frilly, funky or fabulous thing would just leap into your arms, and you couldn’t wait to debut it, bragging that it only cost $3.99? Well, those days didn’t go the way of permed hair; they just flew......

In Defense of Da Vinci Hair

Steffie Nelson
Let me first say, I have always loved Tom Hanks. We both stuffed our bras, though for him, that was during a spell as Buffy on Bosom Buddies, and not before homeroom in 7th grade. I saw Big 24 times one summer. I even own Joe Versus the Volcano and......

What is Not Sexy

Steffie Nelson
Victoria's Secret launched its first "What is Sexy" list. (why? your guess is as good as mine) But it leaves me seriously wondering if Victoria has any real secrets at all. I won't argue with their choice to make St. Tropez the sexiest international city, I've never been there, but......

Smeared

Steffie Nelson
Doug Aitken’s celebration of his new book, Broken Screen, at the Schindler House/MAK Center this past Saturday — described as a ’60s-style happening in announcements for the party — was a very elegant, civilized affair .?.?. that is, until special guest performer Ariel Pink started humping and possibly maiming a......
