Great Minds Think Alike … About Stripes

January 6, 2009 by WendyB

Rewind! I meant to do a “great minds think alike” post about the vintage Clovis Ruffin dress I wore on New Year’s. The stripes are on the diagonal and so am I! Clearly Gwen Stefani agrees that black-and-white-striped, one-shoulder dresses never go out of style. Embed from Getty Images Gwen wore her dress first, but…

You Know You Want Me

January 4, 2009 by WendyB

It’s like Chicago here — you get to vote early and often for moi. After sweeping the big ego and cussin’ categories in the prestigious Drysdale Awards thanks to you gorgeous bitches, I am now a finalist in the Best Fashion Blog category for the 2008 Weblog Awards*. My competition is tough and it includes…

Having a Wank

January 3, 2009 by WendyB

I took guitar lessons for eight years. I didn’t become proficient because I never practiced. I would get out my candy-apple red Fender Strat exactly once a week when I trudged the ten blocks to see Ed, my good-natured guitar teacher. I kept this up until I left the corporate world and started working for…

It’s All About Me

January 1, 2009 by WendyB

Two wise women have followed my command to kneel before Wendy Brandes and have respectfully offered their written tributes. Gorgeous blogger Sheila of Ephemera has recognized my triumphs in the Drysdale Award categories for big ego and bad language, naming me The Most Foul-Mouthed Self-Promoting Funny Woman Ever. Kathy “Knock the Dicks Out of Your…

All I Want for Christmas Is Hot Coco

December 5, 2008 by WendyB

I don’t know how anyone picked out just 101 sexiest Coco looks for this magazine, when every second of Coco’s life is sexier than the last. There would be so much to choose from! It should be “10 million sexiest looks.”

I Spy With My Little Eye…

November 23, 2008 by WendyB

Fringe sunglasses? Cool! Beyonce wore these while shooting a video. Photo from JustJared UPDATED TO ADD: I love Dlisted’s comment: “All the bitch needs is Kanye’s horizontal blinds sunglasses and she’d have a fucking complete window treatment.” UPDATED AGAIN TO ADD: Susie Bubble knows all! She thinks the sunglasses are by Bless and judging from…

Trunk Show Thanks

November 19, 2008 by WendyB

Thank you to all my gorgeous customers and helpers* who made last night’s trunk show at Pink Elephant so wonderful. No thanks to T-Bags, the makers of a dress that I wore because I liked the colors, not realizing it made me look 10 months pregnant. I thought I only looked six months pregnant in…

Dame Is Two Letters Away From Dumb

November 18, 2008 by WendyB

When my former dream client, actress Helen Mirren, said some shizz about date rape to GQ earlier this year, I didn’t say anything because I never read the original article (of course, neither did the majority of the people who were crapping their pants about it). From what I read about the article, it seemed…

Krazy Katt

November 16, 2008 by WendyB

When my new hero, comedian Katt Williams, forgot to show up for Conan O’Brien and got himself arrested on gun charges all in one week, I assumed the hilarious mofo was hitting the crack pipe a little too hard. Katt Williams says, “Use crack in moderation!” Instead it seems Katt done gone crazy and might…

Someone Fell Down on the Job

November 7, 2008 by WendyB

Who forgot to tell me that my hero, Katt Williams, was playing Carnegie Hall last night? Hmmm? Also, who forgot to tell Katt not to drive around NYC with a bunch of guns? Well, this is a good reason to repost my favorite Katt Williams clip. In other news, I totes agree with this! UPDATED…
