Introducing the Inimitable

Shorty McCormick, the dog of queens, or at least one queen. Elizabeth has 18 corgis.
This one was born in Mt. Vernon about eight weeks ago and delivered by the Puppy Santa yesterday. She is sort of paper trained, sometimes remembers to ask to go out, all of which I think is pretty good for a baby.

Quote O' Teh (Last) Century

In this world of sin and sorrow there is always something to be thankful for; as for me, I rejoice that I am not a Republican." - H. L. Mencken

Frivolity

Nothing plays as well as style and wit, hence the Sartorialist and other eye candy.
THE STREET: Seeking men and women fully dressed? The joyful street-style blogs are for the traveler who likes the sit-in-a-cafe-and-observe part and can be brought around — in the recession, anyhow — to the from-the-comfort-of-your-home part. My favorites are the pristine ones that don’t have muddy, trashy party pictures that really belong on MySpace. I like a point of view, lucid pictures, some analysis and lots of air in the design. That means: Face Hunter (London and beyond), The Sartorialist (New York and beyond), Garance DorĂ© (Paris), Copenhagen Street Style, Stockholm Street Style, Altamira NYC, Stil in Berlin, The Style Scout (London), Style-Arena (Tokyo by neighborhood; see especially Harajuku, which first defined street style), The Streetswalker (Tel Aviv), Toronto Street Fashion, Styleclicker (Munich), On the Corner (Buenos Aires), Austin Style Watch, 2 Threads (Australia), The MidWasteland (Chicago), Miss at the Playa (miscellaneous), Hel-Looks (Helsinki), Look at Me (Moscow), Shanghai Viva, Glam Canyon (London), ReykjavikLooks

I may start shooting street style in Port Townsed someday, the youngsters here are really good at it, not to mention the olders, artists all.

NORAD Tracks Santa

Last time I checked, he had just arrived in Mumbai via Sri Lanka.

The Shibas Will Grow Up Someday

and while everyone's owner has been offered a live cam, and there may be more litters, you can't count on anything.
But thanks to Andrew Sullivan, there is always cutethingsfallingasleep.org.
