MrB and I had a 4th of July dinner with our designing friend Zang Toi last night. Zang and I made a nice red, white and blue pair. Zang wore one of his trademark, self-designed mini-kilts. (I love those shoes he wears with them; I’m noticing a lot of menswear looks in women’s shoes for…

Happy Mother’s Day, Part II
MrB and I recently started watching Man Men. We finished the first season a few days ago. “Shoot” — episode 9 of season 1 — has really stuck with me. During the last few moments of that one, MrB and I kept looking at each other and saying, “THIS IS GREAT!” I immediately got online…
Flashback: The Costume Institute Galas of the 1990s
The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual Costume Institute Gala takes place tonight, but the event wasn’t always a spring thing — it used to be held in December. I went three times in the 1990s, when regular people could buy reasonably priced tickets for dessert and dancing after the celebrity dinner. I still have the…
What Wendy Wore: Patrick Kelly Opening in Philadelphia
The Philadelphia Museum of Art celebrated its Patrick Kelly “Runway of Love” exhibit with an opening night party on Saturday.

What Wendy Wore: Zang Toi for a Pre-Oscar Party
The last time I wore the mermaid outfit by my designing friend Zang Toi, the weather in New York City was monsoon-like. Now, in Los Angeles, the weather is … monsoon-like. MrB said cheerfully, “At least you’re dressed to swim home!” Indeed I am! What Wendy Wore Halter and skirt: Zang Toi (2013) Shoes: Tom…
What Wendy Wore: Belated Valentine’s Day Report
MrB and I had Valentine’s Day dinner at Balthazar last week. I had surprised him earlier by sending roses to his office. After all, does a bouquet even EXIST if your colleagues don’t see it? I have a Moschino heart dress that I like to wear on Valentine’s Day, but this year, I wasn’t in…
Family Photos
GeorgeB’s big birthday on Saturday was a lot of fun. After the celebratory dinner, Terri Berry and I lined up with Dad for an updated version of our 1989 birthday photo. Then we gave him kisses … … which inspired his sons-in-law to do the same. My mom and nephew got in on the kissing…
