Ten years ago, to celebrate Easter, somebunny named John Muggenborg gave his gorgeous girlfriend Olivia an egg-gagement ring. I love the egg-hunt story, which John shared in a comment on an Instagram post I did last year. Happy egg-gagement-versary, John and Olivia! By the way, this the only time I agreed to do a temporary…

What Wendy Wore: Valentine’s Day Fail
Last Valentine’s Day, I was disappointed that I didn’t put more effort into my outfit. I do adore the floofy H&M jacket gifted to me by OG blogger Sheila of Ephemera in 2018. It’s Valentine’s-worthy red and even vaguely heart-shaped thanks to its puffy shoulders. But, as you can see, I lazily wore it with…
What Wendy Wore: Decade to Decade
In the words of Mariah Carey, “Time is not something I acknowledge.” But everyone is posting their “beginning of the decade, end of the decade” photos, so I’ll play along. One of these photos is from New Year’s Eve 2010 and one is from New Year’s Eve 2020. What Wendy Wore Dress: Zang Toi Shoes…
Spend Time With the Obamas on Christmas!
On December 25, I normally wish my readers a “Merry Titmas” and bless them with a photo of vintage pin-up star Bettie Page. However, in light of the persistent right-wing lie about a “war on Christmas,” here’s a Merry Christmas montage from Barack and Michelle Obama. For contrast, here’s the supposed savior talking to a…
What Wendy Wore: Glittering for Tina Turner
I love molten-metal looks in clothes and accessories and even manicures — which makes sense for a jewelry designer, right? — so last month, I was transfixed by this Instagram post from vintage store Baba Yaga. I had to have this platinum look! View this post on Instagram Dripping in silver. 80s St.John Lamé top…
Throwback Thursday: Purrkoy for Meowloween
Happy Halloween! Thank you to Instagrammer and cat-lover Mattie for creating this beautiful pumpkin tribute to the late, great Purrkoy the Kitten. Speaking of pets that have crossed the Rainbow Bridge, Gigi the dog left us exactly two years ago at the impressive age of 16. As I’ve written before: “The ancient Celts believed that…
Happy Taco Tuesday!
As you can see, we’re ready for Meowloween here. If you love cute cats and you’re not already following these kittehs on Instagram, you should rectify that now! FitzRoy is here, and Robin is here.
Hey, New Yorkers! It’s Time to Vote!
History was made today when New York State opened polling sites for early voting for the first time ever! We now have nine days plus Election Day to vote instead of the mere 15 hours on an Election Day Tuesday that were standard. There are plenty of people who work, go to school, and/or care…
A “Dirty Dozen” Blogversary
It’s my 12th blogversary! It’s Dirty Dozen time! I mean, literally, here’s a video from D12. That video starts with OG rapper Ice-T (the husband of my OG obsession, Coco). His lines include direct quotes from The Warriors, an OG movie. That’s appropriate because I’m an OG blogger from the big burst of fashion blogs…
Happy 18th Wedding Anniversary, MrB!
MrB and I are celebrating our 18th wedding anniversary today — not to be confused with a date-a-versary. In February 2018, I wrote a 20th date-a-versary post and a few people have been befuddled by the number of years ever since. Sorry, y’all! Anyway, although I haven’t been able to find the rejection letter that…
