The first concert I ever went to was Journey. The show was at what was then called the Brendan Byrne Arena in New Jersey. I’m wondering if it was one of the Journey concerts I see listed for that venue for May 1983, which would have made me 15. Is that an advanced age for a concert…

You know when you’re shopping for clothes or shoes and you see something awesome but then you think, “If I got that, I’d need a whole new wardrobe to go with it”?

In Concert in NYC: Anya Marina, Tristan Prettyman and Pink
Earlier this month, Lindsay Lohan — the once-promising actress and former customer of mine who is now best known as a death-pool perennial — avoided a stint in jail by agreeing to spend 90 days in rehab. When the news came out, I immediately thought of singers Tristan Prettyman and Anya Marina, who have a…
What Wendy Wore: The Weinstein Company Pre-Oscar Party
I’m in Los Angeles for Oscar festivities! I’m not going to the ceremony this time, but that’s okay. I’ve already lurked seductively behind George Clooney on the Oscar red carpet once in my life — who could ask for anything more? Last night was The Weinstein Company’s pre-Oscar part at Soho House. Dorothy Pomerantz, writing…
Wigging Out With Keith Carpenter
As I’ve said before, my hair guru, Keith Carpenter, has been cutting my hair since the early ’90s. We’ve done everything from pixies … … to perms … … to mullets together. Tonight, Keith decided we’d go through everything at once, so he got out his wigs. He’d chopped up some of the shorter ones…
Post-Super-Bowl Post: Jewelry for Beyonce, a Bet on Eminem
Like more than 108 million other people, I was glued to the television on Sunday, watching the Beyonce concert. You know, the big performance that was preceded by football, and followed by quiet naptime and then more football. I agree with Beyonce that the show was “Gone With the Wind fabulous!” I was thrilled by…
Favorite Tweets and the Week in Review
Recently, I’ve gotten some heartwarming tweets. On Friday, I met with Jennifer Heebner, a senior editor at jewelry industry publication JCK Magazine. JCK was so supportive of me in 2012, choosing me to be its “JCK Asks…” interviewee in the November issue. (Melissa Rose Bernardo‘s introduction to my interview made me laugh out loud.) My…
Now Playing: Emeli Sandé. Plus, the Week in Review
I saw gorgeous singer Emeli Sandé perform at Webster Hall on Thursday. Last year, I swore I wouldn’t go back to Webster Hall, ever, after experiencing a Theophilus London rap concert there. Webster Hall has been around in its current incarnation as a dance club and concert venue for 20 years. I used to go…
Sainte-Chapelle-Inspired Nail Art by Tracylee Percival
Since last summer, I’ve been very open-minded to the beauty and fashion suggestions from all the experts in my life. I figure I trust their taste and I work in a creative industry, so why not go a little wild? Shave a lock of hair off? Count me in. Frizzy ’70s curls and pink eyeshadow?…
Happy New Year!
