Save Britney Spears!

September 9, 2007 by WendyB

Britney swimming with my Borgia ring. Britney Spears, my favorite jewelry thief, had a rough time at the VMAs last night. But America loves a comeback, and I sincerely hope she will get her act together. I know people are saying she’s over but if Richard Nixon can make a comeback, anyone can. Honestly, I…

My Aristocratic Title

August 31, 2007 by WendyB

My Peculiar Aristocratic Title is: Very Lady Wendy the Euphonious of Hardy St Thomas Get your Peculiar Aristocratic Title (I found this on Hopscotch, which normally specializes in cute bunny things. I think I should be a queen, however. Don’t you? Really…just a noblewoman. Unacceptable.)

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…

No Good Fish Goes Anywhere Without a Porpoise

August 28, 2007 by WendyB

Fasshonaburu brought this fishy Tory Burch skirt to my attention. And here we have a fish watch. Great Gear News posted about this fishy design. But alas, I am still unable to procure my life’s true desire: fish feet. As God is my witness, I shall not rest till I have little carp teeth encircling…

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.

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…

What Not to Wear

August 7, 2007 by WendyB

There’s been a bit of excitement over a post at Fashionista.com (When your post is picked up by Jezebel.com, you’re practically the new Robin Givhan, right?) Anyway, this reminded me of a time in my corporate life when several people who worked for me complained about a guy who came in wearing a muscle shirt…
