What Wendy Wore: Short Sprouse Skirt on a Cold Day

April 16, 2014 by WendyB

I braved yesterday’s late spring chill in an age-inappropriate Stephen Sprouse mini. This is what happens when one hasn’t done the laundry OR the dry cleaning in a very long time. What Wendy Wore “Pillow sweater”: Dsquared (purchased at Chalk, 2012) Skirt: Vintage Stephen Sprouse (possibly purchased in 2006) Boots: Prada (2008) Lipstick: Pleasure Bomb…

Lupita Wins My “Dress I Want Award” for the MTV Movie Awards

April 15, 2014 by WendyB

I watched Game of Thrones Sunday night (OMG, right?!!) then switched to the MTV Movie Awards right on time to see Eminem and Rihanna perform “The Monster.” Having seen the only part of the awards I was interested in, I then turned the television off and went out for some non-poisonous wine. I definitely didn’t…

From Gloria Steinem to Miley Cyrus in One Day

April 7, 2014 by WendyB

It wasn’t on my bucket list but, in hindsight, it feels like it should have been: “I want to irk Gloria Steinem and cheer Miley Cyrus in one day!” Imagine telling someone that! I’m sure the response would be “Not a chance.” Despite the odds, on Saturday, I managed to achieve both of these things….

Just David Letterman, Retiring.

April 4, 2014 by WendyB

I’m very sad about David Letterman retiring! Even when it comes to television hosts, I’m like Stewie on Family Guy. Dave was so different and shocking when he first got on the air. The parents kept watching Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show and the kids all switched to Letterman. People forget how revolutionary Letterman…

Noah, MrB, and the Weather

March 31, 2014 by WendyB

It rained all weekend in New York City. During the deluge on Saturday, we were inspired to see the movie Noah, starring Russell Crowe. I’m still recovering from that. I don’t know if I liked the movie or hated it. It was … an experience. I supposed my best description is Game of Thrones/original Star…

What Wendy Wore: Lady Gaga Concert at Roseland

March 29, 2014 by WendyB

Yesterday was Lady Gaga’s 28th birthday, and my designing friend Stacy Lomman and I celebrated by going to the first of seven Gaga concerts at Roseland Ballroom. Gaga’s shows are Roseland’s swan song: The venue, which has been on West 52nd Street since 1958, will be razed and replaced with a residential tower. Roseland has…

What Wendy Wore: Gangsta Boo’s Sunglasses

March 19, 2014 by WendyB

My gorgeous rapper friend Gangsta Boo was in town last night to perform at Webster Hall with her group Da Mafia 6ix. Before the show, some fabulous sunglasses from Her Tiny Teeth arrived for Boo at my apartment. I was amused that the frames were made from “door knocker” earrings. Boo received one gold pair…
