As I’ve mentioned many times, I’ve seen Madonna on every tour she’s done since 1985, when I skipped my high-school prom to see her at Radio City. For quite a while, I’ve seen her twice on each tour. She usually plays a string of dates in New York and I realized that whenever I went…

Yelawolf and WendyB, the Goddess of Rap
I’m starting to think I might be some kind of rap goddess … or maybe just a prophet, leading nonbelievers to the promised land of hip-hop. Last year, I got my non-rap-fan sister to stand 9 1/2 hours with me to see Eminem at Lollapalooza. This summer, I took MrB to his first rap concert…
Adam Ant: From Halloween Costume to Concert Attire
Between Hurricane Sandy and work, I didn’t get around to making Halloween plans. I had a great costume in mind too. My favorite part about dressing up is the hair and makeup, so I’m definitely not going to stick a pair of cat ears on my head, draw on some eyeliner whiskers and call it…
What Wendy Wore (and Lost): Madonna at Yankee Stadium
I’ve seen Madonna on every tour she’s done since 1985, when I skipped my high-school prom to see her at Radio City. Naturally, I saw her earlier this month when she became the first female performer to headline at Yankee Stadium. A few days later, I put on my new concert t-shirt and went to…
What We Wore: On the Town With Gangsta Boo
My gorgeous Atlanta-based rapper friend Lola Mitchell, aka Gangsta Boo, came to New York City this weekend to perform with Mach Five on their Ratchet Shit tour. (Best name evah for a tour because you can do any gross thing and blame it on the theme.) The show wasn’t until Sunday, so MrB took me,…
Recent Paris Memories for Bastille Day
I feel like I should be in Paris today because, for the past three years, MrB and I spent Bastille Day (aka quatorze julliet) there. Here’s a little video of last year’s fireworks. The twinkling in the beginning is the Eiffel Tower. This year, our travel plans got pushed up and we went to Paris…
On the Town: Seth MacFarlane, Common, Slaughterhouse
Due to holiday mayhem, I never blogged about the three nights I spent at Highline Ballroom last month, and I’ve got a picture you just have to see, so let’s catch up. The photo is not one of Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane. I’m a Family Guy fanatic, and when I read that MacFarlane would…
What Wendy Wore: Kid Rock at the Beacon Theatre
Ever since I dressed to the teeth for two Lady Gaga concerts last year, I feel kind of naked going to musical events in my everyday jeans and black t-shirt. At a recent Kanye West/Jay-Z concert, Kanye totally outdressed me by wearing a leather skirt over pants, so I was happy to see that Kid…
