Year in Review: What Wendy Wore in 2020, Part 1
For the Year in Review post for my What Wendy Wore blog category, I was going to write “Nothing noteworthy” and be like … Hahaha Thats All Folks GIF from Hahaha GIFs But, looking back, there was more style in this hell-fire year than I remembered — and every bit of it reflects political, social,…
What Wendy Wore: Art by These Pink Lips, Part 2
In September, which was either last month or a thousand years ago, I introduced you to Iris Barbee Bonner, who creates wearable art — the best kind of art! — under the name These Pink Lips. You’ve seen Iris’s custom work on Cardi B … and me. View this post on Instagram Here’s a solo…
What Wendy Wore: Art by These Pink Lips, Part 1
Last year, I asked artist Andrew Lyko to paint my old motorcycle jacket so that it would be appropriate for cold-weather protesting. I requested a tribute to Never Again Action, a grass-roots collaboration between Jewish and immigrant-rights activists that started protesting U.S. concentration camps last summer. I wear the jacket to other protests too, so…

No one had gotten a photo of me being arrested a week earlier on the Capitol steps either, and I was like, “Dang,…

Year in Review: What Wendy Wore in 2019
I started out 2019 with a fashion choice that was simultaneously rare for me … yet typical. What was rare that I wore a dress that I’d never worn before. What was typical for me is that I’d owned the dress for four years before wearing it once. And this wasn’t even the longest I’ve…
