Weirdly Specific Search Term of the Day

May 8, 2008 by WendyB

The weirdly specific search term of the day is: “how much does it cost to buy a rose online and have it delivered to your grandmother.” It would be amusing if the cost of flowers depended on the identity of the recipient. You could send a dozen roses to Mom for $29.99, but Grandma would…

Good Photographer, Bad Subject

April 29, 2008 by WendyB

I wasn’t going to share this photo of me and Fernando because I was upset that my face seems to be entirely comprised of giant cheeks alleviated by a dash of squinty eyes. Maybe the iHog and I are starting to look alike? But then I thought about how nice photographer Larry Fink was to…

Quirking Hard or Hardly Quirking?

April 28, 2008 by WendyB

I’ve been tagged by Dress Forms Pins and Needles and Everybody Says Don’t to reveal six unspectacular quirks. There’s a bunch of rules for doing this; pretend I just shared them. Here are the quirks. I don’t like banana peels. I never noticed that I had particularly shiny hair but now that a bunch of…

Going to Hell?

April 28, 2008 by WendyB

If so, you’ll probably meet the financial office employees from M.D. Anderson Cancer Center there. They’ll be the ones charging you a fortune to enter the flames. Once you get in the door, you’ll meet the Blogger folks who decided that captchas needed to be totally illegible. I can barely read any of the captchas…

Living High on the iHog … in Latex

April 27, 2008 by WendyB

It has belatedly occurred to me that not everyone understands what the iHog (aka Fernando von Bakonstein) is about. You people should be ashamed of yourselves. DON’T YOU KNOW WHO HE IS?!? No? Oh. Then click here and here. After a busy Saturday spent sightseeing and hog-nogging with an Oscar nominee, Fernando and I were…

Dr. Melfi, I Presume? Plus iHog New York.

April 26, 2008 by WendyB

When I learned that Lorraine Bracco, beauteous star of one of my favorite movies AND one of my favorite TV shows, was having a tasting of her own line of wines, Fernando and I jumped in a cab and went to Sherry-Lehman. Lorraine Bracco poured me some Chianti with her very own hands and kindly…

iHog Gets a Haircut (Vicariously)

April 25, 2008 by WendyB

Fernando came with me to see hairstylist-to-the-stars Keith Carpenter. Having a pig around made us silly. Voila! An even shaggier ‘do. Does it remind you of Shelly Duvall‘s? Just a bit? Keith kept telling me to stop laughing. Do these Versace pants match the lamp growing out of my head? We went to dinner at…
