Summer Movie Review: House of Gucci
SPOILER ALERT! “House of Gucci” is about the family behind the famous, high end fashion brand. It was released in November of 2021. It’s long and a bit slow in parts but overall I enjoyed it. The story spans the 70s to 90s. I enjoyed the wardrobe and soundtrack. I thought it was a story […]

Film Review: White Hot, the Rise and Fall of Abercrombie and Fitch
White Hot, the Rise and Fall of Abercrombie and Fitch is a documentary running on Netflix that tells the story about the retailer whose popularity peaked in the early 2000s.

I donated several items to Goodwill or gave them away to acquaintances. I learned that it’s pretty expensive to replace a lot […]

Pandemic Winter Book Review: The Cobbler
I recently finished The Cobbler: How I Disrupted an Industry, Fell From Grace, and Came Back Stronger Than Ever by Steve Madden. I ran across this book on a library shelf. I was familiar with the brand and owned some of the product but I had never thought of Steve Madden as a person. This […]

The Early 2000s: The Worst Decade for Fashion in the History of Mankind
We are a few months away from a new year and decade. There’s an old adage that says that hindsight is 20/20. It’s a little ironic that I came to the conclusion that the early 2000s was the absolute worst decade for fashion in the history of mankind just before the year 2020. Sometimes it […]
