Suzanne Vega Wears My Lotus Necklace

August 27, 2008 by WendyB

Look very, very closely at this picture of gorgeous singer/songwriter Suzanne Vega. She’s wearing my ruby Lotus Flower Necklace. I swear! It’s at the bottom of the bunch of little charms she’s wearing.

Click to enlarge, then get very close to the screen.
A magnifying glass might be necessary.

Suzanne was performing in Brooklyn last week. Here she is on stage, wearing my Lotus Flower Necklace. I swear it’s there!


Suzanne attended Barnard College at Columbia University. A neighborhood restaurant was the setting of her hit song, Tom’s Diner (the name of the place is actually Tom’s Restaurant). The same diner went on to appear as Monk’s on Seinfeld.

Recognize this place?

I went to Columbia College, right across the street from Barnard. I had many late-night plates of French fries at Tom’s.

Check out Suzanne’s website here, and her blog here.

    Um, I love Suzanne Vega. I saw her when I was 15 in Cardiff (I was living in Somerset at the time) and I was just listening to Gypsy last night. I think she’s awesome. So it doesn’t surprise me she has your necklace…

    “Suzanne Vega wears my Lotus Necklace” is definitely on the short list of phrases I will probably never say in my life.

    I can definitely tell it’s your necklace!

    Congratulations, that’s VERY cool!

    I hope she paid full price—those celebrities can be cheeky with wanting the five finger discount.

    Really, the necklace is one of my favorites and it looks lovely on her.

    wonder what time it is where you are… as I happen to be the first one to comment here and you happen to be the first one to comment on mine!

    🙂

    oh I’m glad I did okay with those pop pants. I was a little worried that I went too crazy with those pants. 🙂

    I used to live on the same block as Tom’s Restaurant and would always kind of hum “do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do” when I walked by. I know, cheesy!

    As it happens, MIss J has a magnifying glass at her desk. Fortunately, it wasn’t needed. The Lotus necklace looks fabulous, darling.

    I’m with songy ref beign able to buy but I think you should phone SV’s PR and ask if she is wearing it – I peered really really hard. The neckalce looked beautiful as does all your jewellery.

    August 27, 2008 at 4:02 pm

    Aaaaah seeeeez it. Woooooooowza. Sorry about the ridiculous number of vowels in that.

    It’s purty. When I get a job, I am going to gift myself something from your line. Yeah.

  25. miss cavendish says

    August 27, 2008 at 4:06 pm

    I see it! And I think that that’s a pretty way to wear it, as a group of charms (preferably WendyB charms).

    August 27, 2008 at 4:08 pm

    I love that necklace 😀 But I’ve never seen the sidewalk outside Tom’s look that clean!

    August 27, 2008 at 4:16 pm

    ROCK. I adore that woman. She can do no wrong, if you ask me. And clearly, she has fabulous taste in adornments!

  29. Prunella Jones says

    August 27, 2008 at 5:25 pm

    Oooooo I love that necklace. I need one of those to get that sensitive, poetic, folky, rock girl look. Well, so I can fake that look anyway.

    Hey what’s the deal with Wendy Brandes having photos of our hangout on her blog?

  39. pistols at dawn says

    August 28, 2008 at 10:38 pm

    That “left of center” is a hell of a tune, which makes me wonder why I never picked up an album of hers. Probably because she wasn’t in the Dead Milkmen, and my childhood was already devoted to them.

    August 29, 2008 at 1:18 am

    Congrats! The necklace is gorgeous! Oh and the restaurant…how I miss those days!!!
