Happy Thanksgiving

Headed upstate to spend Thanksgiving weekend eating my weight in food and reading/watching old movies next to the fireplace.

Hope you all have a beautiful weekend - see you on Monday!

A Single Man

Very excited for Tom Ford's directorial debut, 'A Single Man'. It looks gorgeous, and it just so happens that he successfully cast every one of my major crushes (Colin Firth, Matthew Goode, Lee Pace, and of course Julianne Moore) in this film. Bravo.

Check out the trailer here.

2012

Speaking of Palin, I did get a laugh out of SNL's '2012' spoof:

Totem Mugs

Lately I've been reminded of home a little too often by seeing all things 'GOING ROGUE' in the news every day. Love these stack-able porcelain mugs for reminding me of the non-Palin-related aspects of Alaska.

Epic Beard+Mustache Competition

There is a 99% chance that this is a fake video, but who cares. It's amazing. (And totally appropriate, considering our own mustache-growing experiment).

Hermes + Leica

GOOD GOD.

I can barely handle the sublime beauty that is the super-limited edition Leica M7 Hermes; I honestly think my heart skipped several beats when I saw this gorgeousness. If any of you feel like dropping $14,000 (totally absurd, I know) - I mean, Christmas is coming up...

The Red Shoes

'La Danse' on Sunday, 'The Red Shoes' yesterday - I think it's safe to say that I'm in a ballerina haze this week.

Day 19: BEARD OFF! MUSTACHE ON!

We're just past the halfway mark in our epic 'Deb and Stu Grow a Mustache' series, folks! We've been faithfully chronicling our day to day mustache-growing, and as you can see, Stu's is coming along nicely. Sure, he may look super creepy, but that's part of the fun, no? And it's for a good cause!

Stay tuned!

The Ancient Book of Hip

Check it: I have a very talented friend. His name is Dan Lichtenberg. He is a poet. A collection of his poems are being released in the form of a shiny, beautiful book titled The Ancient Book of Hip, TODAY! Congrats, Dan! (Noweveryonegobuyacopy.)

SUDDENLY

Suddenly
he lit a cigarette.
Suddenly he
lit a cigarette.
Suddenly he lit
a cigarette.
Suddenly he lit a
cigarette.

But in all that time she'd all but lost him.

Heneedsme, heneedsme, heneedsme, she says.

Oh, he responds.
So it's that
kind of poem.

New Years in Paris!

Sounds like a dream, doesn't it? Well, YSL Parisienne is giving a few lucky women the chance to ring in the new year in good ol' Paree. And what do you know - an 'Oh?' reader, Sarah Ikegami, is one of the finalists! She's so so close to winning the trip for herself and her husband; all she needs is some votes. And how could you not want to vote for her, after reading this:

My husband and I, both from Southern California, fell in love with Paris culture on our honeymoon four years ago. We swooned over people picnicking at parks, walking their well-groomed dogs down cobblestone roads and kissing their lover near the river. Our jaws dropped when we saw the famous Eiffel Tower glitter at evening time. Everything about Paris was beautiful, we couldn’t get enough. Four years later and even more in love than when our marriage begun, we try to keep the Paris culture strong. We walk our dinner down to the park and admire locals. We kiss each other first thing in the morning and last thing at night. We also celebrate every new day with a pot of delicious French press coffee. Our special time have been called cafe parties because they are nothing short of a time to be happy, thankful and grateful for a new day together to work, to play, to live…to love.

So hop to it! Let's help Sarah win the Parisienne trip of her dreams. You can vote here.

Good luck, Sarah!
