I’ve Got Heart

July 23, 2009 by WendyB

Gorgeous ex-blogger ENC did a little Photoshop work on Tuesday’s sequined pants photo so you can see it without the ugly carpeting.

Better, right?

Better, right?

Last night, I decided to go with a tough biker chick look for our eighth wedding anniversary dinner at Balthazar. Here I am in my leather vest, hanging around with some graffiti and garbage.

Hanging out on Spring Street.

Tough, right?

Okay…maybe this look wasn’t so tough after all. Here’s the back view.

Not so tough, right?

Not so tough, right?

I’m currently working on a guest post for gorgeous blogger Cherie at Shrimpton Couture that might explain why I end up wearing things like a black leather vest with a big white heart on the back. In the meantime, I’d like to thank photographer Mark Fisher who just happened to be coming down the street during our photo shoot and helped pose me correctly. I have to remember to drop my left shoulder! You can check out Mark’s work here.

In case you didn’t get enough heart from my vintage Gemma Kahng vest, here’s some Heart.


I’d also like to give my heartfelt thanks to you readers … today is my two-year blogversary. I’ve enjoyed the 26,000 comments y’all have left in that time. Except for this comment, of course, but I deleted that bitch!

    Wendy – you are anything but a wrinkly old slut – though the drink sounds good. You are way more dirty chic in your leather and sequins

    Congratulations on 26,000 comments, two years of blogging, and eight years of marriage.

    I hope I can come up with an anniversary outfit that good when my eighth comes up, and I hope I run into a pro photog on the day.

    You look beautiful!
