Buy Keith Richards a Birthday Card

December 13, 2022 by WendyB

I was sorting some laundry today and the date on the back of a t-shirt jumped out at me. I thought, “OMG! Did I see the Rolling Stones exactly 10 years ago today?!” I quickly turned to my #1 source for personal memories — this blog — only to discover that I went to the…

Coachella 2018, Day 2: Lion Babe, Cardi B, Eminem

April 24, 2018 by WendyB

I could have squeezed my full Coachella 2018 story into yesterday’s post, but I wanted to give some extra love to Lion Babe, which was the first act I saw on Sunday. Lion Babe is a duo consisting of singer Jillian Hervey (Vanessa Williams’s daughter!) and producer Lucas Goodman, but during a live performance it’s…

Coachella 2018, Day 1: A “Short” Wait for Beyoncé

April 23, 2018 by WendyB

Good news! As you could tell from yesterday’s post, I survived my third Coachella … and, once again, I did it without using alcohol, drugs, or face paint. It’s possible, so don’t believe anyone who tells you otherwise. My Day 1 was actually Day 2 of the festival’s first weekend. I missed Friday, when The…

The Waiting Is the Hardest Part of Coachella

April 22, 2018 by WendyB

My thoughts and prayers go out to the people currently nearing the end of their long wait at the front-stage barricades during Coachella’s second weekend. Last Sunday, I spent over 12 hours doing that — with no choice but to stand for about 10 of those hours — so I could be front row for…

Back to the ’80s With Jessie’s Girl

December 26, 2017 by WendyB

I surprised my family by asking to celebrate my big birthday on Saturday with a glamorous 5 p.m. dinner at Bareburger. What can I say? There were two little kids attending, and I enjoy The Standard burger, medium well. In reality, I was just getting warmed up for a midnight show by ’80s cover band…

Throwback Thursday: My Anthony Kiedis Hair

October 5, 2017 by WendyB

A couple of weeks ago, I went to the last day of the Meadows Music and Arts Festival at Citi Field. (Shout out to my girl Gangsta Boo, who was like, “You know you want to go” even though I missed her performance on another day with Run the Jewels.) I saw Nas, who got…

Music and Beauty

June 5, 2017 by WendyB

As a great philosopher (Madonna) once said, “Music makes the people come together,” and the truth of that statement was on display at the “One Love Manchester” benefit concert yesterday. Ariana Grande — accompanied by performers including Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Coldplay, Liam Gallagher, Marcus Mumford, and Pharrell Williams — entertained a crowd…

Who Wendy Saw: Coachella 2017

April 25, 2017 by WendyB

The stunning Brittany Siminitz of JCK included me in yesterday’s roundup of jewelry peeps at Coachella, saying that I gave her a “front row seat to the festival” on Instagram. Thanks, Brittany! CLICK HERE FOR JEWELRY PEOPLE AT COACHELLA VIA JCK. Her article has given me the incentive I needed to get to this post…

What Wendy Wore: Coachella 2017

April 20, 2017 by WendyB

Coachella kicked off the music-festival season last weekend, which means its time for dozens — or possibly hundreds — of music-festival-fashion stories. I was out there in Indio, Calif., and, as I mentioned on my personal Instagram, I enjoyed checking out what other people were wearing, even though I didn’t emulate the sex-ay looks. Commentary…

Throwback Thursday: Adele in Concert

February 23, 2017 by WendyB

When I was writing about Beyoncé, Adele, and the Grammys on Monday, I wanted to link to my post about Adele’s concert at Madison Square Garden last September. However, such a post was nowhere to be found! Adele wasn’t even mentioned in my year-end list of all the 2016 concerts I hadn’t written about earlier….
