Words of Fashion Wisdom From Xtina

May 1, 2008 by WendyB

Christina Aguilera has a good attitude about her life in fashion: “I don’t believe in fashion faux pas. Every look I did was important at the time. When I was in the Lady Marmalade video it was all about being over the top, sexy and playful. The big hair, the make-up, it was so much…

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…

Bizarre Newspaper Error of the Day

April 27, 2008 by WendyB

The Washington Post (registration required) intrigued me with a brief profile of stylish photographer Zaida Ben-Yusuf, whose work is being shown at the National Portrait Gallery. The profile said she lived from 1869 to 1909 and emphasized that she died at the startlingly young age of 40. I went to the National Portrait Gallery’s site…

Does this Antik Batik dress qualify me for the Don’t Show-Cha Your Chocha feature, Winona? Hello! Goodbye! I wore this to a dinner for the Overseas Press Club Awards last night, where I had the pleasure of bumping into glamorous author Tracy Quan. Tracy and her friend Keith.

Nothing to See Here, Heather. Move Along.

April 3, 2008 by WendyB

Jack Nicholson had a great line in the movie As Good As It Gets: “Sell crazy someplace else, we’re all stocked up here.” That was my reaction to reading that professional psychopath Heather Mills is looking for real estate in New York. You know, Heather, Rudy Giuliani violated a lot of people’s rights to make…

Nu Shooz

April 2, 2008 by WendyB

Yesterday, I was annoyed by an anti-flower-feet article in the New York Observer. The article, which is heavy on sarcasm but short on funny, also slammed chunky platform wedges, peep-toe booties and — worst of all — gladiator sandals!

March 10, 2008 by WendyB

Oh, Eliot Spitzer. We are all shaking our heads over you. I have the feeling that at this very moment, Ice-T is kicking back in his La-Z-Boy, reading the Spitzer stories and saying, “Damn! If the dude wanted a ho, I would have hooked him up all discreet-like.” My idol, Coco, is handing her man…
