I Had to Call a Psychologist and It’s Miley Cyrus’s Fault!

September 4, 2013 by WendyB

The uproar over Miley Cyrus‘s twerk-tastic MTV Video Music Awards performance caused me to seek psychological help. Not for me, bitches! I was looking for assistance for the many traumatized viewers, including the ones who play it cool(er) by saying it wasn’t the sex-ay-ness of the performance that was a problem for them: Their argument…

Read About Amy Gerhartz on the Huffington Post

July 9, 2013 by WendyB

In my July 30 post, I mentioned that I was hypnotized by an eerie trailer for Lifetime’s movie about Anna Nicole Smith. It was the slowed-down cover of the song “Fame” that did it to me. Well, I kept playing and replaying the trailer while I searched online for the name of the singer: Amy…

The Agony and Ecstasy of a Small Business, Revisited

March 21, 2013 by WendyB

Last year, I wrote a story for the Huffington Post called “The Agony and Ecstasy of a Small Business.” It dealt with economies of scale, which is something I’ve also discussed on this blog here, here and here.

Fall 2013’s Fur-Skirt Mini-Trend; Plus, Phind Me on Pheed!

A High Heel That’s as Comfortable as a Sneaker, Guaranteed

October 4, 2012 by WendyB

The “Big City Pump Silhouette Sneaker” by Be&D is highlarious. You’d definitely get the best of both worlds with that one. I’m normally a big fan of trompe l’oeil fashion, but I prefer real heel height, so I’ve been wearing the hell out of my Thelma wedge sneakers by Ash Shoes. I wore them to,…

What Wendy Wore: Neon-Pink Chris Benz to the Elly Awards

May 18, 2012 by WendyB

As I said in a recent post, I have worn neon-colored clothes since the 1980s. IF YOU MISSED MY HUFFINGTON POST PIECE ON NEON, CLICK HERE. When I saw this neon-pink-and-black Spring 2012 dress by designer Chris Benz last fall, I took a chance and ordered it. I don’t usually go for blousy tops, but…
