What Wendy Wore: Rihanna Stole My Dress, Y’all!

June 25, 2010 by WendyB

Okay, Rihanna didn’t literally steal my dress like Britney Spears once stole my ring, but this Dolce & Gabbana dress should still be mine. I am the queen of leopard print and I declare this Dolce is the best leopard dress of all time … OF ALL TIME, as Kanye West would say. I’m in…

Let WendyB Rate Your Shame

June 18, 2010 by WendyB

I’ve been trying to remember which acquaintance told me a story that ended in the words “…so I was embarrassed in front of Eddie Money.” I’ve also been trying to remember what kind of terrible faux pas would put Eddie Money in a position to judge your ass. If you’re the one with the Eddie…

Play “Goldmolar!”

June 17, 2010 by WendyB

The theme song from the 1964 James Bond movie Goldfinger is stuck in my head because I recently saw the Frasier episode in which the Cranes sing the song. Gold body parts are on my mind for another reason. This spring I cracked a molar, which required a root canal and a crown. Because the…

Head-to-Toe Denim for Real Life

March 23, 2010 by WendyB

When I wrote about the head-to-toe denim look last week, I meant it when I said, “Never say never.” I figured most people would pass on the often-unflattering Texas Tuxedo look of jeans and a denim shirt, but that something more wearable would come along. It came along fast! Check out the sophisticated denim looks…

At Least There Were No Cement Shoes

March 8, 2010 by WendyB

Gorgeous blogger Stacy of taffetadarlings came over to watch the Oscars with me last night. I wasn’t excited by the fashion. These days, a red carpet isn’t a red carpet for me if Gaga‘s not on it. I know she’s not an actress, but who cares? The producers recognized Michael Jackson in the memorial video…

Oscars Memory: Red Carpet With George Clooney

March 7, 2010 by WendyB

Okay, I wasn’t really WITH George Clooney, but I was pretty close to him. Here’s a photo of George doing his thing on the Oscar red carpet in 2006 while I lurk seductively in the background. My real date was MrB. I wore the same Zang Toi gown to an Obama inaugural party in 2009,…

My Carnac Moment With Zac Posen

February 4, 2010 by WendyB

Former Tonight Show host Johnny Carson used to do a bit about a psychic named Carnac the Magnificent. Get me a giant turban, people, because I am having a Carnac moment after reading today’s New York Times story on Zac Posen, The Trials of a Former Boy Wonder. It quotes Posen, a pre-crash success story…
