A Devastating Day for Eyebrow Lovers
I am calling for a national day of mourning because the original Law & Order has been canceled after a mere 20 years on the air. Do you realize what this means? SAM WATERSTON’S EYEBROWS WILL BE UNEMPLOYED. Sam and his brows have been a major obsession of mine. I don’t know how I’ll go…

“Things Are Easy When You’re Big in Japan”
I’ve got the 1984 song “Big in Japan” by Alphaville stuck in my head.

The Japanese fans were considered a poor consolation prize. Personally, I’d…
Book Club: A Distant Mirror, the Finale
For this post, the fourth and final one on my favorite history book, A Distant Mirror: The Calamitious 14th Century by Barbara Tuchman, I wish I had a deep-voiced television announcer to say, “Previously on Wendy Brandes Jewelry …” and give a summary of the three preceding posts. Since I don’t have that guy, I’ll…
“As Usual, I Have Lots of Crazy Crap in My Hair”
I adore Lady Gaga, but I think The Key of Awesome’s parody of the Gaga-Beyonce Telephone video is better than the real thing. I can’t stop singing it. If Gaga and Beyonce answered the parody video with a parody of their own — including Wendy Brandes jewelry p-p-p-p-p-p-p-product placement, of course — they would be…
Where to Buy the SATC2 Earrings

Wendy Brandes Earrings in Sex and the City 2
Oh happy day! I’ve just seen my shoulder-brushing Cleopatra earrings on Samantha (Kim Cattrall) in a trailer for Sex and the City 2. Gorgeous blogger Marian Kihogo reminds me that I mentioned on her blog that SATC2 had borrowed the Cleopatra earrings when I did a guest post for her in February. Samantha is wearing…
