Keep Your Pants On

February 11, 2009 by WendyB

When I told y’all that I was on Twitter, I warned you that I had a limited number of topics to tweet about, with a favorite being “I can’t sleep.” Not long ago, after I tweeted an insomnia complaint, gorgeous blogger Gnarlitude Jen tweeted back a quote from former Gucci designer Tom Ford: “Bedtime ritual:…

How to Get Out of Jury Duty

February 7, 2009 by WendyB

I must thank gorgeous blogger The Perfect Ratio for finding and sharing this wonderful juror qualification questionnaire. “I want a donut now, you fuck!!” is going to be my new personal motto. Click to enlarge I’ve been called for jury duty more than anyone else I know. This irritates me because I’ve done my time….

Not Lovin’ It

January 27, 2009 by WendyB

On Monday, McDonald’s reported fourth-quarter earnings that beat analysts’ expectations. I hope you click the link in the first sentence because I put some effort into finding the right earnings story for you. A lot of the headlines on the McDonald’s stories out there just said earnings fell almost 23%. That’s true, but the fact…

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

January 10, 2009 by WendyB

I had a great time last night thanks to my gorgeous friend Jen, who invited me to her family’s annual outing to Carnegie Hall to see “1964…The Tribute,” an unbelievably realistic-sounding Beatles tribute band. If you closed your eyes, you’d think it was the real thing. And, if you opened your eyes (which I’d recommend…

Online Shopping Sadness at eLuxury

January 9, 2009 by WendyB

WWD is reporting that eLuxury.com is shutting down the retail part of the site over the next six months and will continue as an online magazine. Oh noes! I love that site. The spokeswoman at LVMH, which owns eLuxury, apparently took a hit off her bong and, while exhaling, claimed that the closure is “not…

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…

I’m Only Anti-Work

December 30, 2008 by WendyB

Reading gorgeous blogger Miss Karen’s I’m Not Anti-Social, Just Short-Sighted blog has caused the Officer Krupke song from West Side Story to become permanently lodged in my head. I sing it to myself every time I read her blog. A clip from the movie version of West Side StoryMiss Karen’s line comes at 4:35 Damn…

Happy Holiday, Jews!

December 27, 2008 by WendyB

Hanukkah isn’t over yet and I figured since I did a holiday post for the goyim, the Jews should get one too. Thanks to La Belette Rouge for pointing out this parody of Light My Candles from Rent. When I watch one of these things, I’m never sure which makes me laugh harder — the…

Happy Holiday, Goyim!

December 24, 2008 by WendyB

Every December 25, I get into the holiday spirit by reminiscing about an idiot I knew in my freshman year of college. This self-described born-again Christian once went into a rant about the secularization of Christmas as symbolized by the use of “Xmas.” She thought that evil secular people had X’d the “Christ” out of…

Photo borrowed from the sexy bitches at The Fashion Time Magazine,who borrowed it from the sexy bitches at Harper’s Bazaar,who didn’t borrow it from anyone. Remind me to avoid shaking his hand.
