Happy Birthday to My Two Favorite Guys

June 18, 2008 by WendyB

Well, they were my favorites when I was 15! Paul McCartney is 66 today. Sixty-six is an excellent age for a man, or so MrB tells me. And my beloved John Taylor of Duran Duran will turn 48 on Friday. Hawt! I had good taste as a teenager, didn’t I? UPDATED TO ADD: McGone points…

Oh, Happy Day

February 15, 2008 by WendyB

My husband and I started dating exactly 10 years ago today. I don’t know if this is from 1998, but it’s probably close enough. Also, happy birthday to GeorgeB! GeorgeB

More New Year’s Photos

January 11, 2008 by WendyB

Finally, I have gotten the rest of the photos from my New Year’s Eve/Birthday Party at Butter. I will share a few. First, a couple of additional looks at my vintage Versace/Little Bo Peep dress. (And though I usually don’t do this, you can click on the photos to enlarge.) It had a nice circle…

Please, Mr. Postmaster!

January 9, 2008 by WendyB

I got a envelope from the Postmaster today. On the outside it said, “Dear Valued Postal Customer: I want to extend my sincere apology as your Postmaster for the enclosed document that was inadvertently damaged in handling by your Postal Service.” This was the enclosed document: Yes, that is the entire document that I received…

New Year’s Eve With Altamira

January 1, 2008 by WendyB

Gorgeous blogger Altamira joined us for New Year’s with his lovely friend Lola. He’s posted a funny action photo of me dancing my hair off (literally!) to my favorite song, Smells Like Teen Spirit. Check it out! And, yes, Dita Von Teese and I use the same tanning salon. UPDATED TO ADD: I’ve decided that…

Happy New Year, Bitches!

January 1, 2008 by WendyB

My husband threw me a big New Year’s Eve/40th birthday party. My friends Phil and Angeline sent me some flowers and balloons to get me in the mood. Lots more pictures to come! UPDATED TO ADD: My dress code for the party was black tie OR mutton dressed as lamb. As you can see from…

Show Some Respect, Bitches!

December 22, 2007 by WendyB

I’m another year older today and I think I’ve hit the age where I can scream at disrespectful youngsters and say things like “kids these days!” So mind your manners or you will rue the day I was born. Anyway, here’s a photo of Mom, aka BarbaraB, taken just over 40 years ago. I was…

Happy Birthday, Madonna

August 16, 2007 by WendyB

Madonna is 49 today, and I remember listening to her when she was 26. To be exact, I remember listening to her on vinyl, in the basement of my parents’ house, with my friend Brian whom I tutored in Spanish. I also remember going to her show at Radio City instead of my high school…

Happy Birthday, Terri Berry!

August 14, 2007 by WendyB

Happy birthday to my gorgeous sister! Terri changed her last name when she got married. (I did not, but I offered to let my husband change his to mine. He didn’t take me up on that. Silly man!) Anyway, I was hoping she’d marry a guy whose last name was Strawberry. Even I would change…
