The Fashionista, in honor of the upcoming Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in NYC.

I have 22 points left to eat today, according to Brad.

Having joined Weight Watchers on Tuesday night, I got the WW (pronounced "DUB-ya DUB-ya") iPhone app on Brad, and I've been tracking my points. Gotta admit, I LOVE Dubya-Dubya, especially because I get 49 points. Considering fruits are 0 points, along with most veggies, I'm quite thrilled. My usual turkey sandwich? A mere 6.

What's trying, though, is eating out, especially at places not in the handy-dandy Dubya-Dubya dining-out guide. PB and I went to Wolfgang Puck's in Brookside earlier this week, and I ordered the Chinois Chicken Salad -- LOVED it! But I have no idea how to tabulate points, so I guesstimated the point values based on the ingredients. Does anyone have Dubya Dubya scores for locally owned establishments? That would rock the Casbah/Kazbah.

OK, time to get truthy. I weighed in Tuesday night at -- I can't believe I'm about to tell y'all this -- 230. That's five pounds more than the scales at the gym, but that's the tonnage I'm gonna stick with. I'll weigh in again next week, so keep your fingers crossed.

Glass Slipper at Utica Square is having its "Blow-Out Sale" now through Saturday, with up to 50 percent off shoes, boots and other items.

For example, a pair of shoes that was originally $328, then marked down to $196.80 is now $98.40. Another was originally $160, marked down to $120, now $60. Originally $89, then $53.40? Now, $26.70.

For more, call Glass Slipper, 712.7463.

In tribute to the upcoming fall 2011 collections during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York (Feb. 10-17), Little Black Wines offers two

Living Wright

While other kids were watching "The Smurfs," Scene Writer Jason Ashley Wright was tuned in to "Style with Elsa Klensch." By fourth grade, he knew he wanted to write, and spent almost three years publishing a weekly teen-oriented magazine, Teen-Zine -- circulation: 2. After earning a degree in journalism from the University of Southern Mississippi, he became the medical reporter and teen board coordinator for the Hattiesburg (Miss.) American, a Gannett newspaper. Eight months later, with visions of Elsa dancing in his head, he applied for the fashion writer position at the Tulsa World, where he began working on Aug. 3, 1998. He is now a general assignment reporter for Scene.
