Gung hay fat choy! Happy Lunar New Year! It’s the lucky year of the dragon and you should get one of my dragon jewelry designs to celebrate. Sure, it will cost you a pretty penny, but it’s much cheaper in the long run than having a dragon-year child. Eighteen years from now, you won’t be…

What Wendy Wore: Gold Sequins for New Year’s Eve 2012
The color gold was on my mind as I got ready for New Year’s Eve. Much to my delight, it was on other people’s minds too. MrB and I gave gorgeous blogger/designer Stacy Lomman a ride to our dinner at Indochine. When Stacy turned up at our apartment wearing gold sequins that matched mine, I…
What Wendy Wore: Thanksgiving and a Birthday
Thanksgiving is my least favorite holiday. There’s too much food and football, and a dearth of costumes, confetti and candy dioramas. I was happy to shake things up by going to a restaurant instead of having dinner at home. So happy, in fact, that I celebrated by wearing something other than my jeans-and-t-shirt uniform. What…
Giving Thanks for Press Freedom
Yesterday’s post was about what I wore to the annual International Press Freedom Awards Dinner for the Committee to Protect Journalists. As I said, the dinner honors journalists from around the world who risk their lives to report from war zones and in defiance of brutal regimes. It also raises money for CPJ’s activities: denouncing…
Happy Rick-Ross-o-Ween!
I’ve been worried about my latest obsession, rapper Rick Ross, ever since he had two seizures earlier this month. Apparently, he’s doing better. I’m relieved, because the world can’t afford to lose a man with such exquisite taste in jewelry. Embed from Getty Images It made my Halloween to see this photo of a Ross-o-lantern…
Have a Horrifying Audio/Visual Halloween
For audio frights, check out my recently promised murderous playlist at 33 avenue Miquelon. CLICK HERE FOR MY PLAYLIST POST. For visual terror, yesterday’s New York Times had a feature called “When the City Was a House of Horrors.” It’s about John Conn, who photographed the New York City subway system in the late 1970s…
No Need to Be a Sexy Cat This Halloween
Wondering what to do for a Halloween costume? Thinking of going with that old stand-by: the sexy cat? No need! I have found the ultimate sexy costume. Behold! The sexy watermelon dress from Yandy.com. Yandy.com has every sexy Halloween costume option, including the sexy banana; the sexy skunk (that one’s for you, Jennine); the sexy…
Photos From Labor Day in Montauk, N.Y.
A sign at “Lunch” in Montauk. All seagulls make me think of Family Guy. (Of course, everything makes me think of Family Guy.) My friend Carl wears red pants, just like Justin Bieber. Hope your weekend was a good one!
What Wendy Wore: Oops, I Did It Again on Bastille Day
When it comes to holiday-appropriate dressing, I can rarely resist a Same Time, Next Year scenario. A vintage Moschino dress with a big heart on it gets worn nearly every Valentine’s Day. Now I seem to have a Bastille Day-in-Paris favorite: the red, white and blue Alexander McQueen that I wore last year. I wore…
Father’s Day Shopping Suggestion: Cufflinks
Father’s Day is June 21 and, like last year, I’ve got cufflinks for every type of guy. All of these styles are still at 2010 — or even earlier — prices, even though metal prices have been soaring for years. (Silver has doubled in the past 12 months.) Many of my prices will double by…
