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…

All That Glitters Is Making Me Nervous

September 9, 2007 by WendyB

The price per ounce of gold jumped in the past few days. It’s now at $700 an ounce. If it breaks through last year’s high, I’m going to have to adjust all my prices. For more information on what is driving gold prices, click here. To monitor gold prices, click here. It’s hard to believe…

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…

Trendi Wendy

Trendi likes my Juana ring. Trendi Blog said some really nice things about my work. Go check it out! Thanks, Trendi! The blog is part of Trendi.com, a fashion site that’s launching this fall. Click here for more information. Trendi Wendy isn’t as amusing as Terri Berry, but I still like it.

Keep or Return?

August 31, 2007 by WendyB

I ordered this all-over-argyle sweater from J. Crew. I thought it would be fun to wear with white jeans this winter. But, as I expected, the small is too big and the XS will probably be too small, so I’d have to get this one taken in. Is the sweater worth the effort? Speaking of…

Another Picture of the Britney Spears Ring, Y’all!

August 29, 2007 by WendyB

It took me a while, but I’ve scanned the OK! Magazine cover as promised. Click the photo to enlarge and you’ll see that my Borgia ring is taking part in a topless, Sapphic pool romp via Britney Spears’s right hand (and boob). Scan of OK! Magazine cover Here’s the closeup: In case you don’t recall,…

The San Francisco Treat

August 23, 2007 by WendyB

Continuing my tour of fashion bloggers around the world (“Coming Soon To Your City!”), I hit San Francisco last weekend to meet Jennine of The Coveted. Photos don’t do her justice. She was even more beautiful in person than on the blog, though I didn’t recognize her for a second because of the brand-new bangs….
