Cover boy, Will Ferrell

Will Ferrell has a technological wish list that includes edible beards. He talks about them in the August issue of Wired magazine.

A father and daughter in Hollywood

My brain is full of random, meaningless clutter. A few weeks ago the fleeting thought ran through my head that no one hears about actor Stephen Dorff anymore. Then poof, Sofia Coppola released a trailer for her new movie, Somewhere, starring STEPHEN DORFF. The trailer's been out for a while, but I feel like posting it now. There are moments in it that tug at my heartstrings.

Kudos on the felt nipples

If you haven't visited Regretsy, you have not lived. This doggie boob scarf is but the tip of the iceberg.

Pillow talk

After years of patiently searching for pillows that are just right for my sofa, I've finally found them. Behold the handpainted linen pillows with down alternative inserts (no nasty feathers) by Angela Adams.

Unfortunately, my sofa is now covered by a bedsheet and tons of dog hair. I'm contemplating still buying the pillows and putting them out for kicks when the bedsheet is being washed.

Wonbin: Mollusks and wool

Wonbin is like a Korean Johnny Depp. Both actors have been around forever, but barely age. Wonbin actually looks younger now than he did ten years ago. He's had a variety of hairstyles and fashion images, many of them unflattering. But one thing is for sure, he constantly revinvents himself (unlike Jennifer Aniston who won't even cut her hair) and the guy keeps ticking. Here's Wonbin at a press conference for his new film, A Man from Nowhere, earlier this month in Seoul. I dig his short, black hair but his crustacean-encrusted sweater not so much.

Best blog on the web: Call of the Small

Call of the Small is WHY we have the internet! This fab-o blog follows a miniature master as she pieces together a variety of midcentury settings on a tiny scale. Fascinating and addictive.

Sweets Bakeshop brings it (and then some)

Sweets Bakeshop in St. Paul, Minnesota puts gourmet cupcake bakeries in L.A. to absolute shame. Today I purchased a Triple Chocolate, a Snowball, and was so nicely given a free Smores cupcake from a Sweets Bakeshop employee, though the flavor wasn't on Saturday's menu. He explained it was on-the-house since the cupcake was a day old. How generous of him since cupcakes often taste best one day old!

The Sweets Bakeshop cupcakes I tasted were moist, flavorful throughout but did not taste artificial, delightfully pretty, possessed pleasant and fun textures, had good consistency and didn't slay me with heavy sugary frosting. (These qualities continually trip up L.A. cupcake shops.)

Biting into the chocolate ganache center of my Sweets Smores graham cupcake seriously made me feel like I had scored a home run. My husband, who is generally dismissive of cupcakes, proclaimed his Snowball "delicious" and enjoyed the frosting the best of all. If Sweets Bakeshop can please a picky cupcake connoisseur and a bored spouse, they're headed to the top of the gourmet bakery scene.

Wong Fu Productions: Picture day

Hot day. Cold noodles.

Ajumma had bibim naeng myun. Jet opted for mool naeng myun. Mmm!

Si, there is joy!

I gave this card to my friend today who is newly engaged. I want to kiss whoever created it for Hallmark. My friend was particularly excited about the glitter.
