Kesha wows in Vegas bathrobe chic

My chums and I have started a new tradition: Sidecar Sunday. It follows Black Friday and Small Business Saturday, and gives us a chance to do some retro sipping while we swap stories of bargains well hunted.

I suspect our cave-dwelling ancestors did the same after taking down a woolly mammoth, though I suspect Cro Magnon swizzle sticks left much to be desired.

Tipsy van Keister was taking an awfully long time to come downstairs in the ballgown she snagged for a song, and the reason was soon obvious.

A small woman had a death grip on the taffeta hem and wouldn’t let go, not even during the bumpy descent of my marble staircase.

“She said she saw it first,” sighed Tipsy.

On the bright side, Tipsy’s got her plus-one for holiday parties lined up.

Speaking of burdens, the celebs caught in this week’s red-carpet stakeout bore the brunt of style slipups.

Let me ward off the flu with this Sinus Clearer, and I’ll file my report:

SINUS CLEARER

1 part pepper vodka

1 part Tabasco sauce

1 pinch black pepper

Mix vodka and Tabasco in a shot glass. Sprinkle pepper on top.
