I hardly knew what to do with myself last night now that the Starz television show Spartacus is over for the season. Gorgeous blogger/designer/neighbor Stacy Lomman came over every Friday so we could drink pink Champagne while watching Romans and their slaves being killed in ingenious ways. (That guy who got his face cut off?…

New Music: Gangsta Boo, Speakerfoxxx, Dillon Cooper
Visitors to my apartment always seem surprised that I have an extensive collection of city, state and country refrigerator magnets. What?! It’s the touch of elegance that every kitchen needs. Family members often bring me magnets from their travels, but I’ve purchased quite a few myself. I sure wish I could pick up an Austin,…
What Wendy Wore: Valentine’s Day Flashback
NOTE TO YELAWOLF FANS: Scroll to the bottom for the Yelawolf health news. Then scroll up a bit for a cute picture of Gangsta Boo and Speakerfoxxx. I was so busy with my Valentine’s Day jewelry countdown that I never got to post about Valentine’s Day itself! I think it’s worth doing belatedly because I…
Pekingese Power Rules Westminster Dog Show
Henry (my Pekingese), Gigi (my Peke-like Tibetan Spaniel) and I were excited that Malachy the Pekingese won Best in Show at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show yesterday. We considered celebrating like Lakers fans by setting some cars on fire, but we didn’t have the energy. When a Pekingese is in the news — which…
Vintage What Wendy Wore: 2003 Grammys Dress
Watching the Grammys red carpet — with my eyes peeled for Snooki, whose stylist borrowed my swear rings — I was reminded that I went to the Grammys in 2003, when they were held at Madison Square Garden. I wore a very tight unlabeled vintage dress that might have been by Giorgio di Sant’ Angelo….
Be Yo Self … Then Buy Rings for Yo Self
I missed yesterday’s Independent Fashion Bloggers conference for the first time since gorgeous blogger Jennine of The Coveted launched it in September 2009. Luckily, I was able to follow the action on Twitter for a while, and I noticed a lot of people were tweeting this advice from the speakers: “Be authentic.” Sigh. “Authenticity” has…
Wendy Brandes Hashtag Ring on Gangsta Boo
When gorgeous rapper Gangsta Boo tweeted a video tease of her upcoming project, I got a pleasant surprise. There’s a nice clear shot of my hashtag ring at 32 seconds! Many customers send me photos of themselves wearing my jewelry but I’ve only seen a design on video/film once before, when my Cleopatra earrings were…
Meet Gorgeous Rapper Gangsta Boo (and Her Jewelry)
In November, rapper Yelawolf (aka my new favorite dick-grabber) put out a song called “Throw It Up,” featuring Eminem and former Three 6 Mafia member and forever black Marilyn Monroe Gangsta Boo. I took notice because — Hello?! A lady rapper who is NOT Nicki Minaj? I love Nicki but I feel like it’s strange…
Keep That Blue Robe Far Away From Me
Commercials that I love have included Mayhem for Allstate, Eminem for Chrysler and Brisk, Little Richard for Geico, the Android Smartphone crown jewels ad, and the recent Mob Wives promo. Despite my devotion to Family Guy, I wasn’t crazy about the Wheat Thins commercial I just saw that simply copies the show’s famous “Cool Whip”…
On the Town: Seth MacFarlane, Common, Slaughterhouse
Due to holiday mayhem, I never blogged about the three nights I spent at Highline Ballroom last month, and I’ve got a picture you just have to see, so let’s catch up. The photo is not one of Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane. I’m a Family Guy fanatic, and when I read that MacFarlane would…
