You Can Kiss Her Ass!

September 4, 2007 by WendyB

Thank you to Black Pearls for linking to a great YouTube video of Jennifer Lopez responding to fashion criticism. I love it! You tell them, J-Lo! Don’t mess with Jenny. She’ll cut you.

Another Picture of the Britney Spears Ring, Y’all!

August 29, 2007 by WendyB

It took me a while, but I’ve scanned the OK! Magazine cover as promised. Click the photo to enlarge and you’ll see that my Borgia ring is taking part in a topless, Sapphic pool romp via Britney Spears’s right hand (and boob). Scan of OK! Magazine cover Here’s the closeup: In case you don’t recall,…

Ahead of My Time, Once Again

August 29, 2007 by WendyB

Ben Widdicombe of the New York Daily News has chimed in on Hogan’s misguided Chrissie Hynde tribute FOUR DAYS after I wrote about it! Better late than never, I guess! Just to refresh your memory, Hogan named a ponyskin bag after Hynde, who is an ardent PETA activist. By the way, I emailed Hogan on…

Hogan’s Misguided Chrissie Hynde Tribute

August 25, 2007 by WendyB

I enjoyed reading the New York Times Style Magazine today, especially the unintentionally hilarious item about Hogan’s limited-edition Guitar bags named for various music icons. The ponyskin Chrissie — which the Times says is a tribute to Chrissie Hynde — looks gorgeous. Too bad the formerly leather-pants-wearing Hynde is now a PETA activist! For those…

BritneyWatch, Continued

August 20, 2007 by WendyB

If you can still get the issue of OK! Magazine with Britney Spears and her assistant on the cover…look closely! I’m 99.9% sure that’s my Borgia ring on her finger. You know, lots of jewelers get their work on the red carpet. But how many get theirs photographed in a topless, Sapphic pool romp? It’s…

The Rules (for Ladies of a Certain Age)

August 16, 2007 by WendyB

Whose rules are better? Ellen Barkin’s or blogger Gala Darling’s? Gala’s by a long shot, I’d say.

Great Minds Think Alike…About Gladiator Sandals

August 16, 2007 by WendyB

Here (on the right) we have Ashley Olsen in Alaia sandals. Below, vintage Herbert Levine. (Levine photo via Enokiworld. Sorry, the Levines are sold.) Speaking of sandals, if you’re a size 37 (and act quickly), you can get the Gucci sandal pictured below at Bergdorf Goodman for $582, down from $895. But if you’re a…

Going Off the Rails on a Crazy Train

August 15, 2007 by WendyB

I love Amy Winehouse’s beehive and exaggerated eyeliner as much as I do her Back to Black album. Embed from Getty Images Obviously, girlfriend has a lot of issues. As intriguing as those issues are, I hope she gets herself together before she joins “that stupid club,” as Kurt Cobain’s mother put it after his…

Who Wore It Best? Don’t Answer!

August 7, 2007 by WendyB

I don’t like those “Who Wore It Best” features about celebrities. I feel sorry for the celebrity who gets only 3% of the vote. I’ve always said to myself, “Self, thank God you’re not famous so you don’t have to deal with that.” However, I have something too funny not to share so I’m going…

The Answer Is No

August 5, 2007 by WendyB

Someone got to my Gigi Caron site by Googling: “I have a broken tooth can I pull it myself.” In case that person did not find the answer s/he wanted on a jewelry site, I will reply here: “Are you insane? Go to a dentist.” I wonder if it was Britney Spears. That kind of…
