Beyonce Wins the 2012 Met Gala

May 7, 2012 by WendyB

My invitation to the Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art must have gotten lost in the mail — AGAIN! — and, as a result, I’m sitting at home tonight in the XXL “I Heart New York” t-shirt that I bought at JFK one fiendishly hot July day when my plane was delayed…

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Forgot to Call Me

April 13, 2012 by WendyB

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are engaged! I’ve never met Angelina or Brad — though I did once stand kind of near him when he was still married to Jennifer Aniston. Still, I’m all like, “Brangelina, Y U NO call me to make your engagement ring? Is it because I made fun of Angie’s leg?…

Amber Rose’s Engagement Ring (Plus Whipahol)

March 6, 2012 by WendyB

I’ve been fascinated by celebrity-by-association Amber Rose since she and her blonde Sinead O’Connor hairdo popped up on various red carpets with ex-boyfriend Kanye West. I took notice late last year when she did a sex-ay commercial for Smirnoff‘s Whipped Cream and Fluffed Marshmallow vodkas. Amber Rose PLUS whipped-cream-flavor alcohol? Sign me up. I did…

What Wendy Wore: Watanabe to the Weinstein Party

February 26, 2012 by WendyB

Remember that crazy Junya Watanabe jacket I tried on at Bergdorf Goodman earlier this week? I bought it, of course, and wore it to the Weinstein Company pre-Oscar party in Los Angeles last night. The event was fabulous! Tony Bennett was there and sang “Autumn Leaves” to the Weinstein brothers’ mother. And I spotted Meryl…

Vintage What Wendy Wore: 2003 Grammys Dress

February 12, 2012 by WendyB

Watching the Grammys red carpet — with my eyes peeled for Snooki, whose stylist borrowed my swear rings — I was reminded that I went to the Grammys in 2003, when they were held at Madison Square Garden. I wore a very tight unlabeled vintage dress that might have been by Giorgio di Sant’ Angelo….

Whitney Houston Is Gone

February 11, 2012 by WendyB

There are people who believe that the real Paul McCartney died in a car accident in 1966 and was replaced with a lookalike. I’ve always felt that way about Whitney Houston. I was never able to reconcile this Whitney — — the bubbly, bow-wearing Whitney of 1985’s “How Will I Know” — with what she…

Fashion Repeats Itself: Rihanna Wears Black Mesh

February 8, 2012 by WendyB

Just a week ago, I did a Fashion Repeats Itself post comparing new black, mesh-topped dresses to a bodysuit I wore in 1993. On Sunday, Rihanna outdid the dress-wearing ladies by sporting a bodysuit JUST LIKE ME! Well, maybe not just like me. She forgot the mom jeans. The other thing Rihanna is missing is…
