In yesterday’s post about this week’s Fleetwood Mac concert at Madison Square Garden, I mentioned that gorgeous Instagrammer Carrie Courogen was soooo front-row that she played Lindsey Buckingham’s guitar. Twice. Because I already posted the guitar picture, here’s a nice shot Carrie got of Stevie Nicks. The perfect halo of gold hair and lightning. A…

Musical Interlude: Fleetwood Mac Is Back
I saw Fleetwood Mac at Madison Square Garden in October. It was a great show, but I wasn’t thrilled with my seats. I was too far away from the stage. Over the past couple of years, I’ve gotten very passionate about being up close and personal with performers. When I realized Fleetwood Mac was performing…
Throwback Thursday: Versace Houndstooth in 2006
I wore a houndstooth Versace dress, purchased before 2005, to a wedding in this December. I had previously shown it on the blog in 2010 and 2008, but I just found a photo from 2006 that I’d forgotten about. This isn’t a full-length picture, but it gives you a good look at the mesh cutouts…
What Wendy Wore: Zang Toi and “Garters” to Cabaret
Cabaret is one of my favorite musicals, but somehow I’d never managed to see the live theater version starring Alan Cumming as the Emcee. Not in 1993, when he did it in London, nor in 1998 on Broadway. Well, he’s back in his star-making role — only through March — at Studio 54 and I…
Throwback Thursday: The Late, Great Mr. Chubbs
For Throwback Thursday, here’s a May June 1996 photo of my first Pekingese, Mr. Chubbs, shortly after I brought him home from the pound and cut his long matted hair off. There was a cute dog under there! I think Chubbs looks a little bewildered by the recent changes in his life, not to mention…

My Best Dressed at the Golden Globes: Melissa McCarthy
It was a close race this year, but my highly coveted Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award for this year’s Golden Globes goes to … Melissa McCarthy, in a menswear-influenced ensemble that she pulled together from her own closet. View image | gettyimages.com Second place goes to Emma Stone, who wore a Lanvin jumpsuit…
Throwback Thursday: Wavy Hair, Then and Now
I normally wear my hair as straight as I can get it, but I will wear it wavy/curly for a special occasion. I just came across this photo, taken on New Year’s Eve 2004. It would have been nice of my photographer, MrB, to tell me that one of the little satin loops sewn inside…

What Wendy Wore: Versace Dress From 2004 New Year’s Eve
If you read this post about what I wore for New Year’s Eve in 1994 and 2004, you must have figured out that I was going to wear the red Versace dress from 2004 again. I can’t resist a 10-year fashion anniversary. What Wendy Wore for New Year’s Eve Dress: Versace (2004) Shoes: Prada (pre-2005)…
