Gorgeous Clients Looking Gorgeous

June 1, 2010 by WendyB

My post about Sex and the City 2 was such an epic endeavor that I’m too exhausted to write much. Luckily, I have beautiful client photos to share.

Gorgeous client/blogger Jill from Stella’s Roar sent this photo of herself lounging poolside in her just-arrived-by-mail silver Cleopatra earrings.

You’ve met Jill on this blog before because she is the inspiration for my Mud Flap Jill design.

Those are ruby nipples. Click to buy.

Jill is not always in a bathing suit — it just seems that way from the photos she sends me.

Bodacious Jill in her Mud Flap Jill necklace. Hot damn!

Moving from bikinis to boots, here is gorgeous client/vintage queen Ellen wearing a spectacular pair of boots while being naughty with my swear rings. About her pose, she said to me, “What’s the most provocative thing a person can do these days? Seriously, a sex tape isn’t even risque anymore. Light a smoke!”

Oh, you naughty girl! Photo by Austin Trayser.

I immediately recognized those embroidered boots as being by Golo. I have always dreamed of having a pair of those! What shoe size are you, Ellen? I guess I have to keep an eye on her vintage website, Kakkoii Mono, and see if Golos in my size turn up in her spectacular shoe collection.

In keeping with her vintage theme, Ellen also took some black-and-white photos. Do any of you remember the days when we had to choose between black-and-white film and color film? Price was the deciding factor. (When I did a post on Joy Division, I learned that the primarily black-and-white photos of the band didn’t represent an aesthetic choice, but budget constraints.) Personally, I remember figuring out how many exposures I could afford — 24 or 36? — and then carefully planning my photo-taking so I wouldn’t run out of film too soon. After the film was developed, I never threw out a photo no matter how bad it was, because I had so few. How things have changed! In some ways, it was easier to take a picture in the pre-digital era because we only had that one precious shot. Now we have to peer at screens and snap away until we get a photo that’s just right.

Perfection by Austin Trayser, starring Ellen and the swear rings. Click to buy your own rings.

Finally, gorgeous client/author/lawyer Elizabeth Wurtzel isn’t showing her face, but she took a nice close-up of her silver Juana necklace layered with another, non-WendyB necklace. I think the combination looks great.

I only claim credit for the silver skull necklace.

For more client photos, go to my Facebook fan page and check out the Jewelry in Action album. Don’t forget to “like” my page while you’re there. And, if you should be in the Jewelry in Action album but aren’t, send your WendyB jewelry photos to me at wbjewelry at hotmail dot com.

UPDATED TO ADD: For reasons that I can’t understand, a server upgrade on GoDaddy caused about 15 comments left here to vanish. And apparently I can’t get them back. Rest assured you weren’t deleted on purpose!

    I think I was a lot more careful with the photos I took back on film, each photo had to be lined up as perfect as possible because I only had 24 shots

    Ah these are happy clients for sure. I don’t remember the pre-digital era very well as I was never allowed my hands on the camera when I was younger-for good reason too, I’ve never thought about how pricey it must have been!

      I would go for diamonds, just in case I ever needed to cut glass.

    I’m not always by the pool…I ran inside to my computer so that I could comment here. For some reason my iPhone won’t let me type in the verification word!

    As you know, I’m planning on wearing my new Cleopatra’s with the white Halson Heritage dress SJP wears to our vow renewal at the beginning of Fall in Key West. I’m going to be a Wendy Brandes bride!
