Hey Y'all

I've decided to put MV:TB on ice for a while. This started as a personal blog, mostly about my life, and it seems superfluous these days.  My friends and family can catch up with vacation pictures on Facebook, and as for the other stuff - this may sound fogeyish, but it's not stuff I want living online.  My personal life isn't just mine anymore; it's also Dan's.  I'm not going to snark about my job, because it's not a temp situation that I'm leaving next week.  You know?

Anyway, I'm still writing about TV and whatnot over at Oh Keyboard My Keyboard (surprise! I have two blogs), with the occasional cat picture thrown in.  And who knows, maybe I'll return here next week.  But until then... it's been real, Blogger.  Bye!

PS

This is the $270 GOOP tray in action. GP is writing a note to her dear friend Mario Batali, probably about how she carted home all the centerpieces from her niece's wedding.

GOOP: The Collaborations

My mother, a champion shopper and possessor of impeccable style, recently purchased this killer knit blazer at the Gap:

Isn’t it great? The manufacturer’s suggested retail price is $88. With various coupons and potions she paid $58.

Coincidentally, GOOP just announced their most recent “collaboration,” this time with rag & bone. The GOOP shop, building on its existing product line of a single $90 t-shirt, jeans and a bikini, a $270 etched tray designed by Diane Von Furstenberg’s ex-daughter-in-law, and a set of four towels, has decided to add two more pairs of pants (GOOP: empire of bottoms) and a blazer.

The blazer looks… familiar. It’s $495. My mom should take over as GOOP’s buying director, no?
