Dear Martha,

Are you looking for a man? I can help you!

It's been years since we were girlfriends, but I really know how to find men and it's so simple, as they are everywhere!
    
I've been explaining, "How to get a man,"...

Artists see the world differently than ordinary humans. Artists can have all the money in the world, or no money or some money, but no amount of money can buy their happiness, nor can fame, nor can glory, as no amount of these human pleasures get the artist's joystick going!...

I arrived in Paris just after a rare snow storm left to find FLUO PINK clothes in all the windows, especially in the men's stores.
         
Men's ties went pink and lavender in America last year (as seen by all the straight...

Kidnapping my mother was going to be harder than I first imagined. I needed to harness all my power. The kidnap needed a brilliant plan, a coordinated effort between myself, my son Rex, and my parents' silver Cadillac. After a terrible fall, my mother was a patient in an exclusive...

A visit to Paris is always full of wonder. You can eat everything you desire all day long and never gain a pound. How? Why? Let me explain. It's simply because God loves Paris, too, and rewards all of us who visit Paris. Those of us who have the joy...

Elizabeth Taylor's New Year's Eve at home during our "fun years" in the sixties consisted of family, fashion, and food.

Family consisted of her four kids, Michael, Chris, Liza and Maria; a few of Richard Burton's Welsh Jenkins brothers and their wives; his daughter Kate; the dogs, Richard's orange Peekenese,...

How many pairs of shoes does a woman need? Ten pair, a hundred pair or a thousand pair?

I have been collecting shoes since I was 12 and went to my first dance with Jimmy Rowe at Kensington, Maryland Junior High School in an Audrey Hepburn style black suede pump...

If you want to be a top dress designer today, you have to go to a great fashion school, and NYC offers two of the world's best fashion schools: FIT and Parsons.

Fashion students today at FIT, which is located at 27th and 7th Avenue in NYC, have a much...

The human form is back in art in Paris. It is the leading trend this fall for galleristas -- from nude Marilyn Monroe to nude tribal Africans -- the body beautiful is in center stage in all the top gallery windows.

"Art is whatever the artist has to say," is a quote given to me personally by Tom Sachs at his Space Program: Mars exhibit at the Park Avenue Armory last spring.

Graffiti art, or "whatever art," has become the foremost art of our times, made world-famous by Keith Haring's subway...

Elizabeth Taylor was no snob. She truly felt all humans had the same value in society. She preferred to befriend cooks, housekeepers and secretaries rather than their bosses. My husband, Ron Berkeley, had been her makeup man since their youth,...

Years ago if you came across ladies dressed like this in Paris on the Rue De Temple, they would be after your money and you would run.

Today they will get your money and more as this is the latest Paris fashion look,...

"Art is a struggle with the struggle erased" was the definition of art taught at Parsons School of Design, class of 1964. The teacher was painter Paul Brach (later dean of California Institute of the Arts) and the class was Art History. Mr. Brach also taught us that art affected everything....

It's about time women rule in the art world. We are half the sky and only 23 percent of the art on display in galleries in New York, but that will soon change as 40 percent of working-women now earn more money than their husbands in America, and...

I must tell all you ladies how I lost 10 pounds in two weeks by giving up eating everything white! Here is how it happened.

I returned from a Paris trip (where I did my fashion-art-food blog with Sue Bloomberg), and I...

Fashion designers must cover the art world; it's our job. My latest trip to Paris, the "City of Love," was all about art, and I met my blog partner, Sue Bloomberg, who came prepared with a list of must see galleries. I would keep my eye out for fashion.

The discussion of Having It All for women is the most important intimate conversation of our times. Marissa Meyer, the pregnant CEO of Yahoo, and Anne-Marie Slaughter, professor and author of the recent Atlantic article, "Why Women Still Can't Have It All," are on opposite sides of the discussion. Women,...

Today's art tour with painter Ed Baynard for The Noodle Blog, was to be the uptown Manhattan galleries. Ed hand picked six shows. The Met was our first destination as the Gertrude Stein family collection was the highlight of the year, or perhaps of the decade. Ed wanted to see...
