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…

’80s Video Stars Knew How to Share

June 14, 2008 by WendyB

Am I crazy or is the dude in Patty Smyth’s Warrior video wearing the same gray leotard outfit as the chick at the end of Ratt’s Round and Round video? Both songs came out in 1984. Patty “Bang Bang” Smyth Ratt Related trivia: The late Milton Berle appears in the Ratt video as both a…

The News of the Day

June 5, 2008 by WendyB

I was really feeling the love for New York today thanks to a nauseating ride with a horn-honking, cursing cabbie who seemed to be belatedly auditioning for a role in Grand Theft Auto IV. In fact, the experience was so much like Grand Theft Auto that I decided to shoot my driver instead of paying…

Proud as a Peacock

June 2, 2008 by WendyB

When I saw the peacock dress that Eva Longoria recently wore in Cannes, I wondered if it was the same dress I tried on at my friend Zang Toi‘s studio a couple of years ago. It was! Back in the day, MrB loved the teeny-tiny dress on me, but I was more interested in the…

Let Us Pray

May 30, 2008 by WendyB

Some famous twins are starting an “edgy” jewelry line with a famous jeweler. Please God, let them not rip off my shizz. You all know where you saw the Matilda first! I will call on you to testify if I have to. On a happier note, how sweet is this blouse? Buy it for $18.99…

I Thought I Looked Purrfect

May 20, 2008 by WendyB

Well, it turns out WWD didn’t think I was a hot pussy in my vintage Patrick Kelly dress! I never expected the average person to appreciate that drag-a-licious gown, but being on a “Disaster Area” page next to Susan Sarandon exceeded my wildest hopes and dreams. Mee-Wow!(That WAS a very tight dress and not a…

Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda

May 9, 2008 by WendyB

Here are two more dresses that could have been worn to the superheroes-themed Met Costume Institute Gala. Neither of these would have been as fabulous as a full-on Catwoman look, but they would have been better suited to the theme than the very ordinary dresses that were worn by most of the women. (Note to…

Anna, Call Me

May 6, 2008 by WendyB

What happened at the superhero-themed Costume Institute Ball last night? Everyone interpreted “superhero” to mean “pretty strapless dress.” Boring! The only ones who dressed to impress me were Anna Wintour, Amber Valletta, Rachel Bilson and Christina Ricci. Embed from Getty Images Where were the leggings, the masks, the vintage Mugler? And while I’m asking questions,…

Almost Perfect

May 3, 2008 by WendyB

Wouldn’t this photo be perfectly fashionable if only it had Fernando von Bakonstein in it? Marc Jacobs and Rachel Zoe, photographed by Altamira UPDATED TO ADD: Yay for Altamira AKA Craig! His photos were picked up on Oh No They Didn’t. By the way, I think these are some of the best-ever photos of Rachel.
