In the News

October 18, 2007 by WendyB

Andree de Jongh, a member of the Belgian Resistance during World War II, died at the age of 90. Her inspiring obituary in the New York Times begins, “AndrĂ©e de Jongh, whose youth and even younger appearance belied her courage and ingenuity when she became a World War II legend ushering many downed Allied airmen…

All the News That’s Fit to Print

October 15, 2007 by WendyB

The New York Times has a nice story on my husband’s new project. Here are two paragraphs from the story. Paul E. Steiger, who was the top editor of The Wall Street Journal for 16 years, and a pair of wealthy Californians are assembling a group of investigative journalists who will give away their work…

Killer Comedy, Coat and Queen

September 28, 2007 by WendyB

Recently, I was lucky enough to catch part of 9 to 5 on TV. You must see this kick-ass feminist comedy about three assistants (Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, and Dolly Parton) who take revenge on their chauvinist boss (Dabney Coleman). Dolly looks unbelievable in her clingy knit dresses and baby blue trench coat. I was…

I Hope Angelina Jolie Doesn’t Get Nervous

September 18, 2007 by WendyB

Alas, Jezebel got to this before I could, but two days after the New York Times ran a big story on inconclusive/meaningless science, the Wall Street Journal reported that some pregnant women are freaking out over whether their lower-back tattoos make getting an epidural dangerous. Why are they freaking out? Because Pregnancy magazine ran a…

Blogs Are Getting So Much Respect…

September 17, 2007 by WendyB

… that soon they will be considered Old Media and the bloggers will be complaining about a passel of New New Media whippersnappers eating their lunch! Speaking of meals, ParisBreakfasts pointed out a gushy Herald Trib story on fashion bloggers. Congrats to everyone mentioned in it, but I hope this Chris Cholette fella didn’t have…

The Late Marc Jacobs

September 17, 2007 by WendyB

Run, tiny Marc Jacobs, run! The angry villagers are coming with their torches and pitchforks! Yes, that’s him on the left. Last week, I was too outraged by Marc Jacobs’s outrage at our outrage to post about it. Confused? The Marc Jacobs show last Monday started two hours late. Word had gotten out that the…

Teenage Fashion Bloggers Should Skip This

September 16, 2007 by WendyB

I expect this will be very boring for a certain demographic, but I loved the cover story of the New York Times Magazine this weekend (site requires registration). Gary Taubes wrote about the tendency to confuse association with cause-and-effect in large-scale observational studies. In other words, just because you notice two trends occurring simultaneously, it…

If Messed-Up Britney Makes You Happy…

September 12, 2007 by WendyB

… maybe you’re a bit messed up too. So says this this Salon article (via Jezebel) on Britney Spears’s catastrophe at the VMAs. I appreciated Salon writer Rebecca Traister‘s piece in general, but particularly her comment on the “fat” criticism of Britney. I think that all the heat she’s gotten on her weight has been…

September 11, Continued

September 11, 2007 by WendyB

I wasn’t going to share this picture due to embarrassment, but plenty of my co-workers saw it at the time and it IS funny. I’m one of those people who tries to find something to laugh at even in dark times. It might be hysterical and inappropriate laughter, but still. When we went back to…
