A lot of people will be watching Breaking Bad tonight and I’ll be avoiding their tweets to the best of my ability, because I just started catching up on the show this week. I got through the first season and about four episodes into the second. I’m watching as fast as I can! I was…

The Model for My Middle Finger Earring Struts His Stuff
Eminem is gearing up to release a new album this fall and, yesterday, a stark teaser image appeared on his website. This image gave me a thrill because my middle finger emoji stud earring is very similar to Eminem’s middle finger technique. While my earring’s thumb isn’t in quite the same position as the thumbs…
New York Style Icon: Nightclub Legend Haoui Montaug
Every so often, I wind up scouring the Internet for information on the New York City club people whom I worshiped from afar in the 1970s and 1980s — people like Anya Phillips, Sally Randall, Dianne Brill and Dean Johnson of Dean and the Weenies. Recently, I stumbled across the name Haoui “Howie” Montaug. It’s…
What Wendy Wore: Coney Island Adventure
Gorgeous designer Stacy Lomman and I have talked about going back to Coney Island since our last visit in 2010. Yesterday, we finally did it! We spent a couple of hours on the beach. Stacy worked on her tan and I worked on maintaining my pallor. Then we went to the boardwalk so I could…
What Wendy Wore: Business Algorithms and Birthday Math
I was reading music magazine The Fader’s cover story on rapper Mac Miller and the first anecdote resonated with me. The story starts with Miller hunting for copies of his second album, Watching Movies with the Sound Off, in Target, the day after the album’s release. The store nearest his home in Los Angeles had…
Why Ke$ha Does Penis-Shaped Jewelry and I Don’t
Let me say right off the bat that I like the singer Ke$ha. Think you don’t know her? You probably do; you couldn’t escape “Tik Tok” a few years ago. I’m entertained by Ke$ha’s dirty-girl image. I was into it when she wore a trash bag to the 2010 MTV VMAs, a la Debbie Harry….

One More G-Shock Photo: Eminem in the Air
I’m inordinately proud of this picture of Eminem in mid-air at G-Shock’s “Shock the World” concert on Wednesday. It’s not like my mad camera skillz made it possible; it was pure luck. But it’s still a nice shot, right? I feel like a sports photographer! Other links: There’s a selection of my other top Eminem…
Musical Interlude: Eminem at G-Shock 30th Anniversary Party
MrB keeps asking me, “Who’s your hero?” So far, he’s refrained from answering his own question by indicating himself with both thumbs and saying, “This guy!” That shows how nice he is because he is entitled to do the thumb thing after getting us tickets to attend watch-company G-Shock’s 30th anniversary party in New York…
Dina Rae Is Wearing Wendy Brandes Jewelry
Gorgeous singer Dina Rae is letting her fingers do the talking with the sterling-silver “D RAE” ring set that I custom-made for her. I’m looking forward to getting some pictures that include her fabulous face from her next photoshoot! Maybe the rings will make it into something like this sultry shot. If you don’t know…
