A while ago, in a comment, gorgeous client Applevenusian mentioned the Theodoric of York, Medieval Barber skit from Saturday Night Live. Thanks to YouTube, you can all enjoy this skit about the medieval barber who treats every ailment with a good blood-letting. This has nearly all of the best SNL players in it, including frequent…

November 1, 2007 by WendyB

Gorgeous client Shell recently asked me which of my own pieces are my favorites. That’s a tough question! But here are a few things that I like to wear. The Queen of Scots necklace, which you’ve all seen plenty of times (and I haven’t even gotten to my Mary Queen of Scots Book Club post…

Eat It, Huckers!

October 23, 2007 by WendyB

If you’re looking for thinspiration, skip this post. My gorgeous client Tina is the co-author of The Ski House Cookbook, which, as the cover cutely explains, is a collection of “Warm Winter Dishes for Cold Weather Fun.” Even cuter: each recipe has a difficulty rating just like ski runs do. Beware of the black diamond-rated…

Pining for Saipan

Do You Ever Feel Like Something Is Missing?

September 9, 2007 by WendyB

Yet you can’t quite figure out what it is? “I can’t put my finger on it, but something is amiss, ” thought Gwendolyn. “Luckily, a LBD is always appropriate!” Gorgeous future client (ahem!) Jane, noticing my latex fetish, directed me to Syren Latex. Syren has high-end leggings as well as air-conditioned dresses. They also have…

Zang With a Z

September 5, 2007 by WendyB

Tonight my husband and I saw Zang Toi‘s spring line at a fundraiser Zang held for the Lance Armstrong Foundation. We saw both singer Patti LaBelle and DJ drag queen Lady Bunny there. Who is the greater diva? I would have liked to see them wrestle for the title. Maybe next season! The theme for…

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…
