For the second time in a week, a building in Washington, D.C., was shut down by people protesting inhumane conditions in immigrant detention camps. #CatholicsAgainstICE took over the Russell Senate Building today, carrying photos of migrant children who have died in U.S. custody. A group of activists formed a human cross with their bodies on…

Throwback Thursday: Be Like 1993 WendyB in Mesh
I was searching teh Interwebs for a black bodysuit, when I came across one that made me think, “Didn’t I wear that in 1993?” The answer is: Not exactly, but close enough. Bodysuits (or “bodies,” as the great fashion editor Polly Mellon called them) have made a big comeback that is a bit baffling to…

Throwback Thursday: London Bloggers, 10 Years Ago
Ten years ago today, I was in London, drinking Pimm’s with my London blogger friends for FIVE HOURS at Harvey Nicks. via GIPHY This has been my year of feeling nostalgic for the “original gangster” fashion bloggers. My subconscious must have become aware of the 10th anniversary of blogging’s heyday before I ever looked at…
Wednesday’s Video: The Gold Lamé Toga Met Its Match
My newest YouTube video is a sequel. Part I came out in April, when I confessed that a vintage gold lamé toga by designer Stephen Burrows was a fashion mistake. I don’t make too many of those with vintage, but when I do, it’s a disco doozy. OG blogger Sheila from Ephemera — an expert…
Mood: Megan Rapinoe
I am inspired by the triumph of the USA women’s soccer team in the World Cup and the athletes’ fight for equal pay. I am especially inspired by Megan Rapinoe. “behold the field in which I grow my fucks and see that it is barren” -megan rapinoe pic.twitter.com/cEjuHzOmEz — lady (@LadyLovesTaft) June 28, 2019 Big…
Throwback Thursday: July 4, Past and Present
I love an excuse for a themed outfit. Accordingly, on many 4th of July holidays, I’ve worn the Castelbajac sailor outfit I got in 2010. This year, I don’t feel costume-y. Instead, I’ve acknowledged the day by texting the word RESIST to 50409 and using Resistbot to tell Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney and New York senators…
Wednesday’s Video: I Couldn’t Fool Eryn a 4th Time!
Well, this is awkward! In today’s video, I brag about about my ability to plan a surprise for someone, and then I fail to surprise my target. I’m going to put the blame on my right-hand woman Eryn, who was also my would-be victim. She didn’t give me much time to work with. Planning a…
What Wendy Wore: Ossie Clark at the Loebs Again
MrB almost always attends the annual Gerald Loeb Awards for business and financial journalism. He got the Loeb lifetime achievement award himlsef in 2002, and I don’t think a year’s gone by when someone hasn’t thanked him in an acceptance speech. I often go to the Loebs with him to catch up with people I’ve…
