Lick It Up, Baby. Lick. It. Up.

September 18, 2009 by WendyB

Darlings, it’s after 2 AM and I have to get up before noon for a change, so I don’t have time to tell you all that happened to me last night. Here’s the short version:

I got an awesome new Francis by Christian Francis Roth piece that I’m calling the “Erica Jong dress.” (Christian’s name suggestion is “The Zipless Frock.”)

Naturally, I accessorized with the swear rings.

Naturally, I accessorized with the swear rings.

I met designer Phillip Lim.

WendyB and PhilipL

WendyB and PhillipL

I saw a crazy drunk girl throw up on a nice blogger in the front row of a fashion show. (No pictures. You should thank me for that.)

I saw a model faint on the runway in the same show. At first we thought she was just falling out of her shoe, but she kept wobbling and the model next to her had to half-carry her backstage.

Down she goes.

Down she goes.

I met a bunch of cool people.

I read Market Publique’s blog post on the IFB party and a bunch of lies my stylist, Prunella Jones, made up about me.

That’s it!

    You’re the only person that makes me sad that I missed going to NYFW. LOL

    Hi wendy,

    I love the you capture all the wacko side of the fashion show! I’m sure the model only had a teaspoon of water for breakfast that’s why she fainted. Poor girl. Your stylist is…errmmm..hmmm…very interesting. The parrot can be the next big thing in fashion!

    Someone threw up at a show????? Back in my days of NYFW they wouldn’t let you in if you were drunk. That’s what the door bitches are there for.

    Sounds like an eventful evening… I’m anxious to hear the rest as well! 😀

    I’m just glad it’s the Erica Jong dress but you’re wearing it instead of her! Your wonderful adventures continue. That poor model must have forgotten to eat her dinner of one blueberry and water with lemon! I’m off to read the lies about you and make up some of my own.

    Looks good and thanks for sparing us!

    Wow, barf and fainting models? Good times!!

    LOL @ the Erica J. reference!!! Very cool dress and looks fabulous on you as always. Did Phillip L. fall at your feet and beg you to take over his website?

  12. miss sophie says

    September 18, 2009 at 9:17 am

    ok the fainting model makes me sad. as much as people like to gawk at the spectacle of models falling on the runway and snarking at how skinny they all are, it IS a disturbingly *dangerous* industry. sigh.

    but your erica jong dress looks specatcular! jealous you met the esteemed mr lim.

  13. K-Line says

    September 18, 2009 at 9:31 am

    That dress is fantastic and your name for it is HILARIOUS! I followed your tweets last night with amusement.

    What a NIGHT!

  15. Sher says

    September 18, 2009 at 10:27 am

    Prunella is hilarious! Wonder if that model ate today? ummm I mean yesterday.

  16. char C. says

    September 18, 2009 at 10:27 am

    omg i’m so jealous you had a picture taken with Mr. Lim himself!! and wish i could have met you in person at the IFB Dress Up Soiree! next time 🙂

    Hilarious post.
    “Erica Jong dress”…brilliant.

  18. enc says

    September 18, 2009 at 10:35 am

    For once, I’ll say “I’m glad I *wasn’t* there!” Usually I wish I had nights out like yours, but I make it my policy to eschew vomiting.

    You look brilliant in that zipper dress. Jong would be proud.

    Hi there-thats a stunning dress, adore the back detail!! Have a great weekend!

    beautiful dress lady. love the silver dress in the previous post. you look fabulous as usual.

  21. Alice Olive says

    September 18, 2009 at 11:46 am

    You met Phillip Lim?!! OMG, may I touch you?! (Meant in a totally appropriate female gushing about a fav designer way, naturally.)

  22. prunella.jones says

    September 18, 2009 at 11:49 am

    I like that dress. Does the zipper really work? If so, I may have to borrow it sometime.

    And lies? Really Wendy, you wound me. After 231 years of friendship this is how you treat me? I mean, I kept my mouth shut about the fact that you have more tattoos than Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox combined which you keep hidden with makeup, didn’t I?

  23. prunella.jones says

    September 18, 2009 at 11:50 am

    Oops.

  24. CFR says

    September 18, 2009 at 11:51 am

    It’s the Zipless Frock!

  25. WendyB says

    September 18, 2009 at 11:52 am

    Prunella, I’ve decided to come out of the closet about my Maori facial tattoos. So WHAT if I look like Harvey Keitel in The Piano? I think he’s a very attractive gentleman.

  26. Midtown Girl says

    September 18, 2009 at 12:11 pm

    Spamword – MadQueen. Of which best describes that blinged out pic courtesy of Prunella. LOVE IT.

    What a crazy time you had last night – only in NY darling. XOXO

  27. Kat says

    September 18, 2009 at 12:12 pm

    Hi Wendy! What a back…yours and the dress’s zip print!

  28. TheShoeGirl says

    September 18, 2009 at 12:22 pm

    You are high-larious!
    1. Lick it up= a reference to the barf? I HOPE not.
    2. That bitch needs to eat a damn cracker. Fainting comes from not eating
    3. Did you know that Philip was Paul Frank’s first sportswear designer? My hubby casually mentioned it one day like, “oh ya. I worked with that guy- he was our designer” haha

  29. TheShoeGirl says

    September 18, 2009 at 12:23 pm

    OH CRAP! AND

    4. Loooove your dress!

  30. Marta says

    September 18, 2009 at 12:38 pm

    Sounds like a wonderful and quite eventful time 😛 …. you look STUNNING!!!!!

  31. GoodLookingCorgi says

    September 18, 2009 at 12:41 pm

    You liar! You told me you had button desire and I see you are wearing a zipper themed dress. Zipper fever is entirely different!!one!!

    Also I am glad to know that college parties and fashion runways aren’t too much different. Lots of photos, people fainting, some chick vomiting onto someone respectable.

  32. DrZibbs says

    September 18, 2009 at 1:20 pm

    I’m working on a similar dress design but the back is a huge Pilgrim shoe buckle.

  33. hanako66 says

    September 18, 2009 at 1:53 pm

    I was dying over your tweets last night!

    I knew that dress was made for you the moment I first saw it!

  34. stilettolover91 says

    And talk about a fabulous exposed zipper!

    You are such a rockstar 🙂

    September 18, 2009 at 3:23 pm

    If that is the abbreviated version of the night, I’d love to hear the whole story!

  42. Market Publique says

    September 18, 2009 at 3:23 pm

    LOVE the dress!! And thank you for the shout out, had so much fun with you on Monday!!

  43. Miss Janey says

    September 18, 2009 at 5:39 pm

    Evidently WendyB has two right hands… No wonder she’s such a fierce bitch. She can make a bitch a necklace, den choke a bitch wid it.

    Miss J remembers when she was a model and fainted on the runway. She hadn’t eaten in fourteen weeks… No nice model helped her off-stage though. Some skinny bitch just rolled her off the stage and on went the show. Hey, that’s showbiz.

  44. brandi says

    September 18, 2009 at 6:18 pm

    you look beautiful!! your dress is amazing!!
    sounds like you had a great time!!

    xoxo

    Wendy B!! you have a beyond fabulousssss life!! lets see last night I ironed my teenagers shirt for back to school pictures, got my four olds clothes ready for first day of school…oh sorry I just dozed off from boredom.. 🙂 btw. I wore the skirt to an appt. today and even though it was big it looked great, made me look thinner because it was hanging on me!!
    keep me updated on whats new with francis

  46. MG says

    September 18, 2009 at 7:53 pm

    She probably fainted from not eating enough! Those girls are about 15-20 pounds underweight.
    I like that dress! You look zippy in it. Sorry that was dumb!

  47. Winnie says

    September 18, 2009 at 9:05 pm

    Sounds like a hell of a day! Love that dress on you and I love Philip Lim!
