November 21 2009 Rihanna ’s violent assault at the hands of pop star boyfriend Chris Brown in February hangs over her fourth album like a dark cloud. The Barbadian pop princess of “Umbrella” is startlingly replaced by the angry 21-year-old who declares “revenge is sweet” on the guns ‘n’ gangstas anthem “G4L” and who claims to be “the hottest bitch in heels right here” over menacing synths on “Hard”. “Rockstar 101”, all attitude and no tune, finds her with “my middle finger up” over a brooding guitar line played by Guns ‘n’ Roses’ Slash.

An updo with attitude! We love this full-bodied, unabashedly dramatic style. Photo courtesy of Marie Simone .

Poor Thanksgiving, sandwiched in between Halloween and Christmas, gets less attention than most any other holiday. If we didn't have turkey and pumpkin pie to look forward to, we'd probably skip right over it. And this is true when it comes to collectibles, too. My Shameful Confession Why am I aware of this? Because of the serious lack of Thanksgiving collectibles adorning my home from year to year. I have a potpourri burner from the ‘80s shaped like a bear wearing a pilgrim hat, a pair of really cheesy turkey salt and pepper shakers of the same vintage, and a brand new cornucopia filled with pretty, albeit fake, leaves and berries. The pilgrim potpourri bear, although out of style functionally, is just too cute to get rid of. And, I’m predicting that unusual potpourri burners will be collectible at some point in the future, so I might be happy I like it so much one of these days. I also have a vintage plate decorated with a very regal looking turkey, which I finally manag...

Remember the old Dunkin' Donuts commercial where the tired-yet-dedicated baker says, “It's time to make the donuts?” Each time he faces that same tedious task, he grows a little more weary. For some folks, the Yuletide chore of decorating the Christmas tree can be just as tiring, and let's face it, downright dull. Sure, you've got lots of holiday memories wrapped up in the mish-mash of Christmas ornaments you've collected over time, but you're still yearning for something a little bit different and lots more exciting. It might be time to think outside of the gift-wrapped box folks often get stuck in this time of year and come up with a Christmas tree filled with collectible treasures to express your personality and interests. And no, a tree of this variety doesn't have to be ultra expensive to be impressive. Read on for a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing. Collectible Cups on the Tree One neat idea, as shown in the photos here, came from my ...
