By Patricia Calhoun
Sep 2, 2008

I have not been one with my new purse. At Cheyenne Frontier Days in late July, I searched through every booth and shop, looking for a replacement for the tooled leather number I'd picked up a few years before at the National Western Stock Show -- a bag now held...
Michelle Obama is the Bomb-a

By Aubrey Shoe
Aug 29, 2008

It makes not a whit of difference to me whether or not Michelle Obama wears pantyhose. She is beautiful and poised, looks good in those jewel tones, and I love her. And I’m especially fond of this political pin-up girl’s collection of Erickson Beamon flower brooches, which she’s been seen...

Aug 4, 2008

Slide show With these oppressing temperatures it’s hard to leave home, let alone put on heels and clop down to Santa Fe. But that’s exactly what I did on Saturday night, and despite the heavy air and clammy conditions, I did it happily. Why? Because I love supporting local designers...
KitchenAid Pear = Bad '70s Flashback

By Aubrey Shoe
Jul 30, 2008

A few weeks back we received a press release introducing us to the wonders of the "fresh, new color from KitchenAid." This color, while called "pear," looks decidedly more like the pukey green avocado color that was all the rage in the '70s. Even if this new green shade is...

As an honorary deputy of the Global Grammar Police, I’ve always taken issue with the “Buy Local Bitches” sign displayed on the front door of the Fabric Lab (3105 East Colfax Avenue) and in the windows of other Bluebird Beat businesses. “Where are all these local bitches for sale?” I...

Click here for a slide show of the event. Photo by Jim J. Narcy The ominous rain clouds and wind couldn’t deter the crowd at last night’s Riverfront Fashion show. The theme of the event, Yellow Sun, was evident in the clothes worn by the guests. There was so much,...
Hats Off To Summer

By Aubrey Shoe
Jul 16, 2008

Sometimes wearing a hat makes me feel like I'm channeling a Southern Belle or an old-school diva or -- worst of all -- Blossom, but with the mercury rising and our ozone thinning, the benefits of wearing a wide brimmed hat starts to outweight those concerns. Therefore, my favorite fashion...

One week ago, tonight, the “who’s who” of Denver’s many, many stages gathered at Littleton Town Hall to celebrate and recognize outstanding work in the theatrical community. Last Monday’s award ceremony sparked a little buzz amongst the Colorado Theater Guild members when 18 of the 20 Henry Awards went to...

Jul 11, 2008

Slide Show Fame/ Celebrity/ Renown: The state or quality of being widely honored and acclaimed. In the days of reality TV programming and YouTube mania, I’m not really sure what makes a celebrity, a “celebrity” anymore. It seems that any schmoe with a decent head of hair can be catapulted...

By Joel Warner
Jul 9, 2008

It’s hard enough getting thrown into the heady world of international high fashion when you’re still a teenager. It’s even tougher when the dominant language of the fashion house where you’re working isn’t your native language but instead, say, Hungarian. Though 16-year-old Mercina Grace Tillemann-Dick, one of the many players...

What's In A Name?

By Aubrey Shoe
Jul 8, 2008

I have always judged places by certain things. A doctor’s office gets kudos if they have good fashion magazines. I won’t go to a nightclub if the name is a one-syllable noun. And I have never had my hair cut at a salon with a title I didn’t approve of...

If your group of friends is at all like mine, you might recall a familiar conversation: “Dude, I love A,” “I know, man. A is pretty great. On a totally unrelated note, B is awesome too.” “Agreed! Now that I think about it, B is as rad as A.” “You’re...
