My extremely prestigious Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award demands a certain je ne sais quoi in addition to fashion flair. As I’ve written before, a look doesn’t have to be “beautiful,” or “flattering,” or in any way acceptable to the vast majority of people to win my approval. “Eye-catching” is more important to…

My Best Dressed at the 2018 Grammys Is …
While there were many 2018 Grammys fashion statements worthy of honorable mentions, there was one clear winner of my prestigious Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award. That winner is not Andra Day, but she came so close in her candy-colored, custom-made Victoria Hayes tuxedo gown. Embed from Getty Images This dress was my personal…

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!

Lady Gaga’s Super Bowl Show Reminds Me of Someone
Lady Gaga slayed last night’s Super Bowl halftime show in a GIF-worthy way. via GIPHY Wrestling memes quickly followed her breath-taking entrance — a plunge from the stadium roof.

Vintage Moschino That Could Free the Nipple
Once again, I missed something great on 1stdibs.com. Check out this topless jacket by Moschino! If I had this, I’d wear my 2010 Lady Gaga concert t-shirt under it. This reminds me that I’ve been meaning to make some platinum nipple jewelry. Note to self! UPDATED TO ADD: I can’t BELIEVE I wrote about this…
Applause for Soufjan Ibrahim
I don’t know why this video from 2014 popped up in my Twitter timeline recently, but I’m glad it did. We’ve got The Voice television talent show here — where judges initially face away from the would-be stars in order to focus on the voices — but other countries have The Voice Kids, for 8-…
What Wendy Wore: Head-to-Toe Zang Toi
I was in Chicago over the weekend to visit family and attend the Ravinia Festival in Highland Park, Ill. The festival’s website says Ravinia (named for the Ravinia Park grounds where it is held) is the oldest outdoor music festival in North America. Who knew?! Ravinia isn’t a stand-all-day-to-see-Eminem, Lollapalooza-like event. It’s very civilized. You…
Fashion Repeats Itself: Gaga Has Noli Braids!
E! Online has compared Lady Gaga’s latest hairstyle to Pippi Longstocking‘s braids. But when I saw E!’s tweet, I didn’t think Pippi at all. What I thought was, “Been there, seen that, got the t-shirt.” The braided lady on that t-shirt is gorgeous Wall Street Journal artist Noli Novak. When I worked at the Journal…
My Best Dressed at the Oscars: It’s Split Down the Middle!
Damn! Where was Moonstruck-era Cher when I needed her on Oscar night? For that matter, where was Rihanna? Bad Gal RiRi’s puffy, pink Giambattista Valli gown made a huge impression at the Grammys earlier this month, but it would have been the obvious winner of my coveted Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award on…
Having a Jeff Koons Moment
About two weeks ago, gorgeous Josette Patterson, who, with her husband Mark, designs the Mark Patterson line of jewelry, emailed to ask if she could interview me for her blog. When she sent me her questions, she began by saying, “I noticed that everyone who interviewed you asked you the same questions about your past…
