Here is more info on the “other” Wendy Brandes situation I was bemused by in this post. The following product photo has appeared on two forums:
The text was the same in both cases: “Money Clothing released a ‘Waist of Money’ belt made of 3.3 pounds of 18 carat gold designed and made by Wendy Brandes Jewelry in London. Also available is the ‘Swag Bag’ duffle lined with fifty actual dollar bills made with Italian leather detailed with 18 carat gold hardware. Now that’s Money!”
Obviously, I’m curious about Wendy Brandes of London, but when I asked about it on the first forum, the thread was deleted and I received an email accusing me of being spam! So now I’m going to ask Money Clothing what’s what. There certainly could be a Wendy Brandes designing jewelry in London but I’m amazed that I haven’t heard of her till now!
You’re like the Nancy Drew of blogging!
I always identified with her dyke-y friend George!
Oh, the Irony!
I shall hunt the halls from the Houses of Parliament to Oxford Street in search of your London twin.
Shall I serve them a medieval punishment via the Tower of London’s torture archives if any hint of conspiracy is present?
What a bizarre picture (not to mention bizarre products). I had to look at it and read your description at least four times before I could tell what it was! Maybe I’m just going blind 🙂
Do you have a Google alert on your name? How do you find all these things?
Give them the full Hugh le Despenser treatment, Craig!
JDBSusanna, I can’t even remember how I found that weird thing. I think I was just searching to see if the whole blog freeze thing affected my page rankings and then I saw it.
OMG – Wendy!
You so OWE me forever!!!!

PS What will you do if you win? Will your life’s quest be fulfilled?
Well, I suppose my next goals would be to (a) meet Coco and (b) get a picture of Anna Wintour looking horrified at my fish feet.
Can’t help with Coco, but I’m sure Anna W. is somewhere in NYC looking horrified, so the odds are good.
