In one of the most entertaining reader questions I have ever gotten, Dennis writes: Good Morning Charlotte, I was just noticing some of the ladies on my office and thought you would be the one to answer my question – Do real women, the kind that work out and sweat like ditch diggers, have time …
He forgot one: “These headphones aren’t on.” “U have a bedazzler?” Turbo Jennie texted me the other day. You know you’re addicted to the shiny stuff when you are the go-to girl for kitchy 90’s era sparklifying gadgets. Regrettably, due to my abhorrence of clutter, I had to text her back in the negative. But …
Socks and jellybeans. My two favorite things. If my feet are wrapped in the pelts of Muppets and my belly is full of sour simple sugars then I am a happy girl. Unsurprisingly I have a wide assortment of both but today I’m just going to talk about the socks. I have furry socks, loud …

Cindy Crawford: A modern Dorian Gray? Photo Credit.
