On Christmas Day, I like to recycle a post that I did in 2008. Here it is. Why write a new Christmas Day post when I wrote the perfect one in 2008? Here is “Happy Holiday, Goyim!” again, with a new, working version of the video and a couple of other updated links: Every December…

What Wendy Wore: Last Birthday at the Four Seasons
New York’s iconic Four Seasons restaurant — which opened in 1959 and for which the term “power lunch” was invented — is being booted from the Seagram Building next year. I’ve had many birthday dinners there (as well as one dinner with Norman Mailer). Tonight was the final Four Seasons birthday dinner. We sat in…
Photos From Thanksgiving in Costa Rica
My parents, GeorgeB and BarbaraB, will be married for 50 years on December 26. For half a century of marriage, you deserve more than a one-day celebration, so we kicked off the fun early. First, my mother received her Wendy Brandes anniversary ring in October. Then, for Thanksgiving, my parents took the entire family went…
Awards for MrB and Barbaralee
A belated congratulations is due to MrB for being inducted into the Deadline Club’s New York Journalism Hall of Fame on November 19! I attended the celebratory lunch with him at Sardi’s. I forced MrB to do this #deadlineclub #selfie #coupleselfie #journalism #awards #halloffamer #smiles #proud A photo posted by Wendy Brandes (@wendybrandes) on Nov…

Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to my U.S. readers! If you’re not into watching football, you can spend game time dressing up your dog or cat as a turkey. Note: If you decide to do a cat-turkey, don’t forget to have disinfectant and Band-Aids nearby. Enjoy! CATS AND DOGS DRESSED AS TURKEYS.
What Wendy Wore: The Pre-Halloween Ho Stroll
It’s been a long time since I’ve done the Halloween ho stroll, to borrow a phrase from the highlarious Michael K of Dlisted. I’m more likely to dress for the holiday as a non-sexy Anne Boleyn, Adam Ant, member of Devo, or random Mod girl. That said, I figured that for a drinks date on…
Hanging Out With Platinum Guild International
Tonight, the fine folks of Platinum Guild International had a little soirée for designers and press at Parlor. I had designs from my Punk Platinum collection on display. I also brought my one-of-a-kind Luna ring, which is set with 1.90 carats of diamonds and a South Sea pearl. Who knew it would look so good…

Throwback Thursday: Halloween 2005
Ten years ago, for Halloween, I dressed as a Mod in an original 1960s Ossie Clark dress and white vinyl bubble hat. The white go-go boots were reproductions. My hair was shorter then. MrB was … well, I guess he was a guy wearing a mustache. Other favorite Halloween throwbacks: Diamond Doodles’s 2014 doodles with…
