    Despite the fact that I’m a magazine editor and a long time fashion bible fan, it was my sister who turned me on to Helen Gurley Brown less than 10 years ago. I subsequently went out and found a perfectly preserved copy of her best seller Sex and the Single Girl, with get…

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS-R7SM_-M4&feature=youtube_gdata_player Gabby Douglas and Michael Phelps and all of our American athletes deserve the ultimate patriotic tribute, and Whitney Houston singing the Star Spangled Banner delivers. I’ve seen this a million times, and I never get tired of it.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkcAKx-jD4k Racey asks: “Why is my blackness too much for the people upstairs and not enough for the people downstairs? A girl just can’t win in this place.” Preach!

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GxpC-zDywQ&feature=relmfu This web series kills me. It’s sad that misunderstandings and disrespect this ridiculous are still common, but this truthful portrayal is frickin’ hilarious. Creator Kim Williams is seriously talented. Complicated and talented.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPAmDULCVrU Adore this version of a classic. How amazing as a singer to duet with Tony Bennett. The equivalent for me would be to have Maya Angelou or Tony Morrison write a forward for my book…when I write it…

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9ss_pLYmIs This video is shaky, but just close your eyes and listen. Gaga’s voice is amazing. This songwriting reminds me of the FAME album. Sadly some silly young person will probably use this song’s subject matter as an excuse to do something unfortunate. But knowing Gaga she’s not the least…

    I saw a WSJ interview where the interviewer commented that Usher’s voice seemed to have gotten bigger on his new album Looking for Myself. I finally listened to the whole thing, and I have to agree. E’rybody knows I love me some Usher. Not for the looks – though I…
