Red Lipstick #3: MAC’s Prolong

October 20, 2010 by WendyB

It’s been two years since my last red lipstick post. I’m still devoted to MAC’s Pro Longwear Lipcolor in Lasting Lust. I rarely want to wear another red because I love Lasting Lust’s color and the endurance so much. For me, the product works just like MAC’s website promises: it is smudge-, run-, transfer- and…

Oh, Give Me a Home Where the Buffalo Plaid Roams

October 16, 2010 by WendyB

I still love some of the fashions I wore in the early ’80s: Day-Glo Stephen Sprouse Clogs Skinny jeans Pistol belts Gladiator sandals Anything from Trash & Vaudeville or Fiorucci Lace-up boots Motorcycle jackets But I have no desire for jazz shoes. I’m also over buffalo-plaid shirts, despite my 1983-1984 enthusiasm for one blue and…

Wendy 4’s Amazing Bosom

October 15, 2010 by WendyB

Thanks to Poodle Analytics and Feedjit, I know that I’ve gotten quite a bit of traffic from people searching for “Wendy 4 purple dress.” I imagined that “Wendy 4 Purple” was the name of an inexpensive, teen-oriented clothing line and, because I’ve seen plenty of that schlock, I didn’t investigate further. A few days ago,…

Howdy, Pardners!

September 30, 2010 by WendyB

My gorgeous friend Christine was supposed to attend Zang Toi’s “Lone Star Cowboy & the Texas Rose”-themed show with me on September 16, but something suddenly came up, as Greg Brady would say. So I took Christine to Zang’s showroom a couple of days later, accompanied by gorgeous blogger Jennine of The Coveted. Christine picked…

We Need to Join Diet Snapple Anonymous

Fashion’s Night Out: So Excited I Could Scream

September 11, 2010 by WendyB

I hit the town for Fashion’s Night Out last night wearing my capitalism-promoting dollar dress and accompanied by hawt bloggers Jennine of The Coveted and Alyssa, Kathy and Vyque of Fasshonaburu. We ran away from the teeming masses fighting to get into Bergdorf Goodman, wandered through Astroturf inside Prada’s 5th Avenue store, and wound up…

What Wendy Will Wear: Dress by Zang Toi

September 2, 2010 by WendyB

What timing! Right after my post about how sample sizes, by definition, don’t fit the vast majority of people right off the rack, Tia from The Quest for “it” posted about the sample sale I had with my designing friend Zang Toi last month. Conveniently, she took a picture of Zang personally altering a red-cashmere…

Technicolor Yawn

August 20, 2010 by WendyB

I used to have a tie-dyed cashmere sweater. It made me look like a rainbow had thrown up on me. Only one tiny photo of it exists. I got rid of the sweater long ago, but I thought of it as soon as I saw these shoes by Nicholas Kirkwood for Erdem. If I had…
