Flashback From HuffPost: Kept Outta “Compton”

October 18, 2019 by WendyB

I’ve been republishing all my old Huffington Post pieces on this blog, because they could vanish at any moment from HuffPost. You never know about archives these days. This story is from four years ago, after the N.W.A. movie Straight Outta Compton came out. The movie depicted five group members — Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, Ice…

Throwback Thursday: Nobel Prize Edition

October 6, 2016 by WendyB

The Nobel Prizes are being announced this week, and that always makes me think of my best Huffington Post story. In 2012, I wrote, “A Dress Worthy of a Nobel Prize,” about Jenny Carroll, the daughter-in-law of Ralph M. Steinman, a professor of immunology at Rockefeller University.  Dr. Steinman died of pancreatic cancer on the…

Arabian Prince on the Huffington Post

September 8, 2015 by WendyB

Straight Outta Compton, the authorized biopic of the rap group N.W.A, was the unexpected hit movie of the summer. It tells the story of the five guys — Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, Ice Cube, MC Ren and DJ Yella — who shocked the country with songs like “Fuck tha Police.” Five guys. But wait! Look at…

Miley Cyrus Hosts the MTV VMAs

August 30, 2015 by WendyB

The MTV Video Music Awards are tonight, so I was inspired to dig these out. I went to the #vmas from 1999 through 2003.

Celebrity News: Rihanna’s Green Lipstick, Clooney’s Bio

May 3, 2014 by WendyB

Thanks to gorgeous blogger Vyque of Fasshonaburu for directing my attention to Rihanna’s dark green lipstick at the iHeartRadio Music Awards on Thursday. Vyque knows about my recent passion for crazy-colored lipstick. I loved Rihanna’s look from head to toe. I haven’t read anything yet about what brand the lipstick was, but if you want…

Blue Lipstick #3 by Pretty Zombie Cosmetics

March 26, 2014 by WendyB

After mentioning in my last post that I needed to test my new Blue Moon liquid lipstick by Pretty Zombie Cosmetics, I couldn’t resist doing it immediately, so I wore it yesterday afternoon. The color is electrifying and goes on perfectly opaque. As I expected from a liquid lipstick, it feels very dry once it…

Crazy Lipstick Colors on the Huffington Post

March 25, 2014 by WendyB

I still love my red lipstick, but I got a hankering for a purple lip back in 2010. I tried various purples for years; none of them seemed quite right. By the time MAC made its bright purple Heroine lipstick part of its permanent collection last December, it had been so long that I was…

Huffing and Puffing to Do My Huffington Puffer Story

March 7, 2014 by WendyB

The unusually cold and snowy winter we’ve had in New York City had me eager to do one of my Huffington Post fashion round-ups about stylish puffer (aka puffa) jackets, but it wasn’t meant to be. I didn’t get as many volunteers as I would like. Maybe I’ll try again next year. There should be…

Puffy Down Clothes and a Casting Call for HuffPost

December 12, 2013 by WendyB

While obsessing over the vintage clothes on 1stdibs in recent days, I spotted this down coat/dress by Junya Watanabe. It’s from Watanabe’s Fall/Winter 2009 collection. Sarah Mower of Style.com wrote: “Leave it to Junya Watanabe to take a generic utility garment—in this case, a chill-blocking down jacket—and elevate it to an incredible level of romantic…
