When I met one of my stylish fellow-bloggers for the first time a few months ago, I was mesmerized by her gorgeous blown-glass bubble necklace - although the thought of klutzy me in such a necklace is a little scary. (Shards of glass + carotid artery = euw!)

Anyway, I was charmed to see a similar necklace in the Anthropologie holiday catalog - under the name "ephemera necklace," no less! BubbleEphemera!

Here's the first of this year's series of pictures proving that our Christmas tree is all about SCIENCE!!! (which, for the record, needs to be said like it's in a Thomas Dolby song). Some of these will eventually get kind of obscure, but we'll start with an easy one: This little guy, obviously,…

If your loved ones are at a loss this holiday season as to what shiny objects might most set your cardiac muscle aflutter, quick! You're running out of time. But you are not alone! It's tougher to shop for science nerds than might be imagined. After all, a Sagan lover is not a Kevin J. Anderson…
Eight months ago, I asked the question: Did chiropractic manipulation of her neck cause Katie May’s stroke? Now, it appears, I know the answer, and the answer is yes: Katie May, a model who posed for Playboy and gained a massive following on Snapchat, suffered a “catastrophic” stroke in early…

I'd also think twice about having all those bubbles so close to my carotid artery. I wear glass bead necklaces often, but those beads are a whole lot less fragile. You can get a similar effect from large wooden or plastic beads covered in fabric; my favorite online bead supply store has started carrying them, which means you ought to be able to find finished work (since my favorite supplier tends to be a bit behind the cutting edge of fashion). I just bought some wonderful ones and will make myself a new, bold, lightweight necklace to wear for the family Christmas party.

There's also some truth to the argument that while fabric-covered beads only live as long as the outer coating of sealant lives, fragile blown-glass beads may have an even shorter lifespan.

Absolutely lovely. I bought a white crepe skirt there last summer that has become an absolute staple. I can't wait for warm weather so that I can break it out again.

Get 'em in bright red and you can look like a turkey....

Jessica, do you have a theme going here? I see a blog after this one which starts, "Leonardo...", and recently you blogged on evolving the Mona Lisa, and now, looking at the necklace model, I see she actually does have a Mona Lisa smile.

And they said it could never be duplicated!

You might be right, Ian (about the theme, at least - your turkey comment makes me think of bubbles of blood. I think I saw that Sarah Palin turkey video too many times. . . )
