F___ Friday Dance Party: Diva Edition!

Goddess Worship: Eartha Kitt

This week's Goddess Worship is in honor of the late Eartha Kitt. I was lucky enough to catch her act several years ago at the Cafe Carlyle. It was, as you would expect, a glamourina's dream come true. She even engaged me in a little banter from the stage and delivered one of her patented purrs. Check out this article on Miss Kitt from The New York Times.

And while we're at it, here's another purrfect video.

Holiday Weekend Dance Party: Memorial Edition

Well, we've lost one of Geeky Splendor's all-time favorite bad girls, Eartha Kitt. But how fitting that she went to that big cabaret in the sky on Christmas.

Recession be damned. I finally got a manicure. Had to be done. I was sporting a look that could best be described as "runaway slave." If you're feeling like you'd like to just don a beret, sit in a Parisian bistro and groove to Josephine Baker and Edith Piaf, have I got some news for you. OPI's fall/winter line is the La Collection De France, featuring all types of Jerry Lewis-approved shades. I'm wearing Tickle My France-y, which is a nude tone and it's simply, ahem, mauvelous.

Tipping Point: If your nails are brittle, try soaking them for 20 minutes in a little warm olive oil for a week and see if you notice a difference. Popping a biotin every day helps, too.
