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…

September 11 Is Here Again

September 11, 2007 by WendyB

It’s hard to believe it’s been six years. In 2001, both my husband and I worked across from the World Trade Center at the World Financial Center (we were at different companies though). My company had office space in both the WTC and the WFC, and one employee was killed in the Trade Center that…

Feminism Reaches the Tower of London

September 3, 2007 by WendyB

Moira Cameron, a 38-year-old Scottish woman, became the first woman Beefeater today. Embed from Getty Images This makes me happy, not only because I love ground-breaking women, but also because the Yeoman Warders (“Beefeater” is a nickname for the Yeoman Warders) protect the crown jewels. And you know how I feel about jewels! As for…

Ahead of My Time, Once Again

August 29, 2007 by WendyB

Ben Widdicombe of the New York Daily News has chimed in on Hogan’s misguided Chrissie Hynde tribute FOUR DAYS after I wrote about it! Better late than never, I guess! Just to refresh your memory, Hogan named a ponyskin bag after Hynde, who is an ardent PETA activist. By the way, I emailed Hogan on…

Media Alert: The Coveted in the Chronicle

August 20, 2007 by WendyB

Jennine of The Coveted is quoted in the San Francisco Chronicle! Hmmm. I have to say I wish the reporter’s tone was a little nicer. Here’s the passage: “‘I will not be attending S.F. Fashion Week,’ begins a rant on www.thecoveted.blogspot.com, which was later picked up as a link on several other fashion blogs. ‘I…
