Outfit Post, Almost Starring Jude and Sienna

December 2, 2009 by WendyB

I was amused to read that actors and ex-lovebirds Jude Law and Sienna Miller were spotted last week at the restaurant Emporio, home of my favorite peach sangria. My former employer, People.com, earnestly quotes a restaurant source as saying that couple opted to sit out front rather than in a “private seat in the back…

Vote, Damn You!

November 30, 2009 by WendyB

Last year, after winning both my categories (Blog With the Most Swears and Blog With the Most Pictures of the Blogger) in the “prestigious” Drysdale Awards thanks to an exhausting and exhaustive campaign, I had a Shermanesque attitude about potential future Drysdales. “I will not accept if nominated and will not serve if elected,” I…

“Caption This” Contest Winners

October 15, 2009 by WendyB

I loved all the caption suggestions for the backstage photo from my post on the Francis Spring 2010 look book shoot. I admit I was a bit surprised we got no “The Pet Goat” suggestions, because that’s what Jennine, Christian and I thought of when we first saw the photo. C’mon, people! It’s okay to…

Look, Ma, No Teeth! (Don’t Forget to Vote)

October 5, 2009 by WendyB

I’m amazed that gorgeous blogger Vyque of Fasshonaburu got a picture of us at the Independent Fashion Bloggers Dress Up Soiree in which I’m smiling but not showing teeth. I’m sure I haven’t taken a picture like that in 20 years. Hmmm. My memory is going. Have I mentioned that Independent Fashion Bloggers is having…

Calling All Designing Womyns!

August 9, 2007 by WendyB

Catwalkqueen found this “customize our t-shirt” contest run by Fawcett, a U.K. group campaigning for gender equality. I usually confine slogan t-shirts to the gym, but if someone made me a sex-ay tank out of one of these, I’d wear it all around town! For those who don’t know, Merriam-Webster defines feminism as “the theory…
