May 26, 2010 by WendyB

Here are a few thoughts I had while watching Hair on Broadway with gorgeous blogger La Belette Rouge last week. Oh, young people, you are so annoying with your crazy outfits, personal hedonism disguised as political activism, and constant requests for parental money! Did hippies really wear lace-front wigs? If Prada makes an outrageously expensive…

Jane Austen Is All Like, “That Dress? Bitch, Please!”

March 16, 2010 by WendyB

You Give Me (Nonexistent) Fever

November 18, 2009 by WendyB

In the movie, all the New York City gangs declare a truce and meet to discuss forming a super-gang to take over the city. When the gang leader who called the summit is…
