Throwback Thursday: Purrkoy for Meowloween

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…

Hey, New Yorkers! It’s Time to Vote!

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…

What We Wore: Halloween 2017

What We Wore: Halloween 2017

I celebrated Halloween on Saturday by going to Videology Bar & Cinema in Brooklyn for a screening of the 1980 movie The Shining. MrB had never seen it before! Now I’m wondering what the hell he was thinking all these years whenever he came across pop culture references to “Redrum.” I dressed as one of…

Wendy Brandes Jewelry in the News

A big thank you to Amy Elliott of JCK for including my hockey mask and chainsaw earrings in her Halloween jewelry round-up. I also enjoyed a visit with Severine Ferrari, the editor-in-chief of Engagement 101. She shared a video on the ‘Gram of the 18K yellow gold and black diamond wedding band I created to…

Happy National Pumpkin Day!

October 26, 2017 by WendyB

Happy National Pumpkin Day!

It’s “National Pumpkin Day,” a very special holiday created by who knows. I suspect this is further evidence of the existence of a pumpkin-growers cabal that has also led to the proliferation of pumpkin products every autumn. Eventually we’ll all be living in pumpkin houses, driving in our pumpkin coaches to see the Pumpkin Spice Girls…

Happy Halloween From Bananarama

Happy Halloween From Bananarama

If my Halloween costumes continue to be predictors of future trends, prepare yourself for the comeback of massively teased hair. I’ve always loved ’80s pop trio Bananarama … Embed from Getty Images … so I recruited my gorgeous friends Kara and Stacy to dress up as the group for an early Halloween celebration on Saturday….

Throwback Thursday: ’80s Pop-Star Halloween Costumes

Throwback Thursday: ’80s Pop-Star Halloween Costumes

I’m so disappointed that 1980s-themed dance club Culture Club has closed (again)! It was a good Halloween party spot for people dressed like 1980s pop stars. In 2013, my designing friend Stacy Lomman and I acquired official Devo “energy domes” (aka upside-down flowerpot hats) and blended into a Devo mural at Culture Club. It’s still…
