When I saw eclectic designer/artist/DJ Virgil Abloh’s name trending on Twitter yesterday, I expected that he was sharing more big plans for next week’s Art Basel Miami Beach, for which he had already announced a Louis Vuitton menswear show and the debut of an electric Maybach that he collaborated on with Mercedes-Benz. But instead of…
Flashback: The Best Day of 2020
One year ago today, I posed at the fence that the former guy had built around the White House to keep protestors at a distance. I was still feeling the pure joy of the previous day, when the 2020 presidential election was called for Joe Biden. At the moment that news broke on Nov. 7,…
Jewel of the Month: Wear Wolves
Right in time for Halloween, I’ve got something for werewolf lovers … or anyone who wants to wear wolves. These Isabella wolf-fang earrings are actually one of my “vintage” pieces, but I haven’t had an 18K yellow gold pair available for quite some time. Now they’re available both on my website and 1stdibs.com. My gorgeous…
What Wendy Wore: Met Gala Fashion Statement
I haven’t dressed up since New Year’s Eve 2020, so it felt great to squeeze into a vintage Arnold Scaasi dress and go to tonight’s celebrity-packed Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Okay, I wasn’t actually inside the Met Gala, but protesting in front of the Met with the tireless activists of…
20 Years After 9/11, Part I
“The days are long, but the years are short.” I think of that saying every September 11. On that date in 2001, in the wake of the deadliest foreign terrorist attack on U.S. soil, it felt like time stopped, or, at least, that it should have, because how could life ever be the same? Instead,…
September 12 and the Wall Street Journal
The 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks is practically upon us. I’m working on a post about that, of course. In the meantime, I wanted to share a couple of things related to the Wall Street Journal and MrB (aka Paul Steiger, aka the managing editor of the WSJ from 1991 through 2007). The…
Get NASTY About Abortion Rights
Once again, my famous sterling-silver NASTY necklace is raising funds for abortion rights! From now through September 18 (or until inventory runs out), I will donate $100 of the $300 purchase price of each necklace sold to the group of 10 Texas abortion funds that I mentioned in last week’s post. (As always, I will…
Join Me for Truth Tuesday, Abortion-Rights Edition
I’m part of a group of activists holding a weekly Truth Tuesdays protest at the Fox News building in New York City, in order to push back against Fox’s constant lies. We’re there every Tuesday at 9 a.m. and tomorrow we’re focusing on abortion rights, due to the oppressive Texas legislation and Fox’s Tucker Carlson…
How to Fight for Reproductive Rights
I assume you’re up-to-date on the Christofascist ban on abortion that’s been legalized in Texas, but maybe you’re still wondering what to do about it. First, here’s a tiny bit of good news: Thanks to public outcry, hosting company GoDaddy is forcing an abortion vigilante site — one that encouraged people to anonymously send in…
Happy August!
Looking for a birthday gift … for yourself, maybe? My customers and I are all about self-gifting! For August birthday wimmins, I’ve got a stunning example of the month’s birthstone, peridot, in the form of diamond chandelier earrings on sale on 1stdibs. And let’s not forget birth signs. What Leo wouldn’t love this lion pendant?…
