In February, gorgeous blogger Jill of Trend de la Creme did a funny post on the evolution of the mud flap girl. Another gorgeous blogger named Jill, who had already purchased two pairs of cufflinks from me for her lucky husband, was inspired. She emailed me to ask if I could make special mud flap…

The Matrix Is Everywhere
I went to the New York Women In Communications Matrix Awards on Monday to see MrB present an award to the lovely and talented Monica Langley of the Wall Street Journal. The awards honor “extraordinary achievements of outstanding women in the communications industry,” and they’re quite a big deal. Another one of the honorees was…
Crack Dude Thinks I’m a Slacker
Whenever my friendly neighborhood crack dude sees me near my apartment in the late afternoon, he says, “Worked a half-day, huh?” But who is he to criticize? Last year, he promised that he’d meet me at my office and take me to lunch. I’m still waiting for my free lunch, crack dude.
Zang Toi, Now in Cartoon Form
I previously mentioned that my designing friend Zang Toi made a guest appearance on The Real Housewives of New York City. Thanks to that, he’s now in cartoon form in this Real Housewives parody. I want all my friends to have cartoon alter-egos!
I Think Sartre Would Agree
Stepson to WendyB, last night: “Hell is a DVD, a DVD player and ten remotes that don’t work.” We never did get to watch the movie.
Oh, the Shame!
Yesterday I neglected to celebrate the 500-year anniversary of the day that my dear friend, Henry VIII (also known on the internets as Henry teh 8), acceded to the English throne. Handsome!

Hannah Montana Wears WendyB
If you look VERY closely, you can sorta see my Victoria Buckle Ring on Miley Cyrus’s index finger. Woot!
I’ve Seen a Ghost (Tailor)
I’ve mentioned Jean, the proprietress of Ghost Tailor, quite a few times on this blog. I found Jean when I was desperately looking for someone to alter some sweaters for me. No one wants to alter sweaters, which baffles me. It’s not like the sweaters grow on the sheep in ready-to-wear condition. (Designer to sheep:…
Question of the Day
What’s the appropriate reaction when someone’s personal story is weirdly similar to a scene from a movie? Do I assume it’s a genuine case of life imitating art? Or do I give in to my urge for a small popcorn and a medium Diet Coke? It wasn’t this scene; I just like this picture.
Designer and Muse?
Gala Mitchell was one of designer Ossie Clark‘s favorite models. I’m not sure it’s accurate to describe her as his muse — or one of his muses — but she’s definitely striking the right pose in this great picture. Ossie Clark fits a dress on Gala Mitchell.Click to enlarge. Gala’s hair and eyebrows make her…
