Lost and Found




The new owners of David Webb have unveiled thousands, actually tens of thousands, of  jewelry sketches found in David Webb's personal archives.  Most of the sketches  found were never produced before the death of the famed jewelry designer in 1975.  Webb was best known for his  iconic, bold colored, animal themed, enamel jewelry and his art deco style that remains modern to this day.


Movie stars like Ava Gardner and Lana Turner wore their David Webb jewelry  on and off the big screen while style icons like Princess Grace of Monaco and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis were loyal customers. Elizabeth Taylor featured 4 pages of David Webb jewelry in  "My Love Affair with Jewelry" the photo book of her legendary jewelry collection. 


The company will be creating new pieces based on the found sketches. If you are going to purchase one start saving now.  The price tag for the emerald, enamel and coral cuff shown above is a mere $95,000.00.  There is a bonus,  besides a beautiful piece of wearable art each new piece will be accompanied by a copy of it's original sketch.

Adam Levine's Girlfriend Takes Matters Into Her Own Hands.


Photos by Ben Riggot
Front man of Maroon Five, Adam Levine and his girlfriend, Victoria's Secret model, Anne Vyalitsyna posed for these racy photos to promote testicular and prostate cancer awareness.


Well, they certainly have my my attention and I will do my part to make sure the men I love get checked.




According to the American Cancer Society, "Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer found in American men, other than skin cancer. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in men. (Lung cancer is the first.) One man in 6 will get prostate cancer during his lifetime. And one man in 35 will die of this disease. More than 2 million men in the United States who have had prostate cancer at some point are still alive today.


And in a man's lifetime his chance of having testicular cancer is about 1 in 300. When detected, testicular cancer is one of the most curable forms of cancer. There are nearly 170,000 men who have survived testicular cancer in the United States.

Happy Hour For Your Wardrobe

Forget those fabric odor removers for your clothes. Vodka is the way to go to remove odors from clothing. Not only does it do the job, it does it well. 

Vodka is safe to use on almost all fabric, removes most oder including sweat and smoke, dries super fast and clean, leaving no water marks or fragrance behind.

We love it and it keeps us from dry-cleaning too often, not only saving us money but extending the life of our clothes.
