Paris, Day 1: Fiends, Food, Friends

July 12, 2009 by WendyB

We took the Eurostar to Paris, in the company of five fiendishly loud children. Their parents seemed unperturbed by the constant uproar. I didn’t share their apathy, and spent the whole time wishing gorgeous blogger Kate were there to get the situation under control. I noticed yesterday that she doesn’t brook any nonsense from chair…

London, Day 2: More Naughty Art

July 8, 2009 by WendyB

I first went to London when I was 15. During that trip, I bleached my bangs blonde and got my left ear pierced for a second time. When I arrived home, my mother was very upset about these things. Good thing I didn’t tell her that I smooched a 20-something guy during the whole flight…

London, Day 1: An Interesting Ladies’ Room

July 7, 2009 by WendyB

MrB and I arrived in London this morning in time for a day full of thunderstorms, redeemed by dinner with our gorgeous friends Bruce, Michele and Dave at Hix Oyster & Chop House. At one point, I excused myself to visit the ladies’ room, where I puzzled over a framed drawing in one of the…

Devilish Times With Gorgeous Friends

May 17, 2009 by WendyB

Gorgeous blogger Princess Poochie came to New York this weekend, and I was delighted to spend quality time with her. We took a mini-jaunt to Riverdale to visit my gorgeous friends Jen and Amanda. I was most entertained by the name of the train stop — Spuyten Duyvil — which is an old Dutch phrase…

Same Time, Next Year?

February 17, 2009 by WendyB

Last year, I wore a vintage Moschino dress to Valentine’s Day dinner at a restaurant called Balthazar. This year, I wore the same vintage Moschino dress to Valentine’s Day dinner at Balthazar. Want to place bets on next year’s outfit?

Not Lovin’ It

January 27, 2009 by WendyB

On Monday, McDonald’s reported fourth-quarter earnings that beat analysts’ expectations. I hope you click the link in the first sentence because I put some effort into finding the right earnings story for you. A lot of the headlines on the McDonald’s stories out there just said earnings fell almost 23%. That’s true, but the fact…

Bloggers Invade the Upper West Side

October 30, 2008 by WendyB

Gorgeous blogger Lisa is visiting the capital of the world, so I decided to shake things up by taking her to the Upper West Side of Manhattan instead of doing the typical downtown/midtown tourism scene. I figured I’d share our itinerary in case any of you want to follow it in the future. First, we…
