Throwback Thursday: Britney Spears and This Blog

June 24, 2021 by WendyB

I started writing this blog close to 14 years ago because of Britney Spears. Seriously. I had set up a free account on Blogspot on July 23, 2007, but that was just a placeholder. I published one post that said I would start blogging “soon” but not quite yet. Two days later, I learned that…

What Wendy Wore: The Blogversary Sweater

July 24, 2017 by WendyB

Ten years ago,  MrB and I visited Hever Castle, the childhood home of Anne Boleyn. I wore my Boleyn initial necklace. A photo we took that day was the first picture of myself on this blog, posted on July 27, 2007. As I wrote yesterday, I didn’t expect to be making a big commitment when…

What Wendy Wore: Big Shoulder Pads for New Year’s Eve

January 4, 2016 by WendyB

MrB and I held our New Year’s Eve dinner for friends at Narcissa, the restaurant at the Standard Hotel in the East Village. As planned, I wore a new-to-me, secondhand dress that I got because of its Klaus Nomi-esque shoulder pads and V-shaped sheer panel in the front. What Wendy Wore Dress: Brian Lichtenberg (purchased…

Throwback Thursday: Eight Years of Blogging

July 23, 2015 by WendyB

Here’s something for Throwback Thursday: I started blogging eight years ago today. It’s my blogversary! My first post, published on July 23, 2007, was called “Just a placeholder” because I thought I was going to be too busy to devote any time to blogging. Two days later, I found out that Britney Spears had left…

Fourth Blogversary

July 23, 2011 by WendyB

On this date in 2007, I published a post called “Just a placeholder,” which said, “I’m going to start this blog soon but right now I’m busy redesigning my regular website.” Two days later, Britney Spears stole one of my rings. That simply had to be blogged and suddenly I was off and running. I…

Forget about the traditional Easter bonnet. Today is the day to try out the Peeptastic pastel eyebrows seen on the Balenciaga runway last month. CLICK FOR BABY-BLUE EYEBROWS.

Stay Away. 150 Yards Away.

January 5, 2008 by WendyB

I need a restraining order, y’all. I’m not just worried about whoever Googled “Wendy Brandes home address.” (By the way, it is 123 Main Street, Noway, Nohow. The zip code is Get The Hell Out Of Here.) I need a restraining order to keep Dr. Phil away from my favorite sticky-fingered client, Britney Spears. I…

Almost the Craziest Celeb Story Ever

September 22, 2007 by WendyB

Over the weekend, I checked People.com and got the fright of my life, or at least the fright of that minute of my life. There was a story saying George Clooney had been injured in a motorcycle accident and directly under it, a story saying Britney Spears was charged in a hit-and-run. I thought, “Holy…

If Messed-Up Britney Makes You Happy…

September 12, 2007 by WendyB

… maybe you’re a bit messed up too. So says this this Salon article (via Jezebel) on Britney Spears’s catastrophe at the VMAs. I appreciated Salon writer Rebecca Traister‘s piece in general, but particularly her comment on the “fat” criticism of Britney. I think that all the heat she’s gotten on her weight has been…
