Throwback Thursday: Sharing Earrings With Madonna Again

January 21, 2016 by WendyB

I was so excited to see this 1980s photo of Madonna. Not only is she wearing her famous Maripolitan rubber bangles, but she’s wearing matching rubber earrings. SCROLL TO THE THIRD PHOTO. Here’s a 1986 photo of me wearing the same earrings. Woot! You can also glimpse one of them in this picture. I’m sure…

Year in Review: Concert Adventures in 2015

December 30, 2015 by WendyB

I usually blog about the concerts I go to, but I never wrote about the four shows I saw in November. My concert friend Jessie and I saw Marina and the Diamonds for the third time this year at Terminal 5 on November 10. As you can see from this video, we didn’t get there…

Musical Interlude: Madonna Part II and the Hole-y Spirit

October 1, 2015 by WendyB

Back in the day, when Madonna would play a series of New York City dates, I’d get tickets to one show and say, “I want to do it again!” as soon as the house lights went up. I finally figured out it was best to always get tickets to two shows, which is why I…

Musical Interlude: Madonna at Madison Square Garden

September 29, 2015 by WendyB

If you had told 1980s me that, in the distant future, I’d see Duran Duran once and Madonna twice in a single week, I would have been mind-blowingly happy … but not totally surprised.  I always promised myself that when I graduated from high school, I’d move to New York, where I would find like-minded…

Marc by Marc Jacobs and My Yellow Rain Boots

March 23, 2015 by WendyB

Marc Jacobs today confirmed that his lower-priced Marc by Marc Jacobs line would be absorbed into the main Marc Jacobs brand. The move was first reported by WWD last week. My main interest in this stems from a Glamour story on the best looks of the Marc by Marc Jacobs line over the years. It…

I Need a Vintage Ozbek Dress … and a Time Machine

March 6, 2015 by WendyB

You never get over your first love. I don’t mean your middle-school crush or high-school boyfriend/girlfriend. Who cares about those people?! Damn, I can’t even remember any names.  The romantic feelings that last are your first music and fashion loves.  Even if you don’t listen to those bands or wear those styles any more, I…

Madonna Is Queen

February 26, 2015 by WendyB

Madonna took a bad fall while performing “Living for Love” at the Brit Awards in London last night. Apparently, an Armani cape that was supposed to open when tugged by a dancer didn’t, so Madonna was yanked down several stairs by her neck. The lyrics of “Living for Love” include: “Took me to heaven and…

My Best Dressed at the Grammys: Sia and Her Child Minion

February 8, 2015 by WendyB

When wig-loving, face-hiding singer Sia hit the Grammy red carpet a short while ago with a supersized hairpiece and a matching child dancer in tow, I knew my search was over. Sia is the winner of my coveted Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award for the 2015 Grammy Awards. View image | gettyimages.com As…

Now, two of my designs are in K-Note, a Turkish magazine that goes to luxury car customers. Hopefully, those readers are luxury jewelry customers too. The pieces are part of…
