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…

Thanks for Giving, Part I

November 26, 2009 by WendyB

Several gorgeous bloggers have surprised me with thoughtful gifts over the past few months. I’ve thanked them by email, but it’s way past time to thank them publicly. I still need to take photos of several items, so I’ll start out with just one: the Ghostbusters uniform Halloween dress made by Practically Perfect in Every…

“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…

Your Wedding Wish Is My Command. Now Vote!

September 29, 2009 by WendyB

Last week, I mentioned that at my 2001 wedding, I changed out of my Richard Tyler wedding gown and into a custom-made white leather halter top and hip-huggers. A few of you requested pictures. Here they are. I thought I was being pretty edgy with the leather at the time, but the gown is so…

The Post Without Any Fireman Photos

August 14, 2009 by WendyB

It’s my gorgeous sister Terri Berry’s birthday today! I was recently going through some photos from my wedding in July 2001 and would like to share this one of the Berry clowning around in front of me, our parents and the about-to-be-MrB. She had that navy gown already and had only worn it once before,…

I’ve Got Heart

July 23, 2009 by WendyB

Gorgeous ex-blogger ENC did a little Photoshop work on Tuesday’s sequined pants photo so you can see it without the ugly carpeting. Last night, I decided to go with a tough biker chick look for our eighth wedding anniversary dinner at Balthazar. Here I am in my leather vest, hanging around with some graffiti and…

London, Day 2: More Naughty Art

July 8, 2009 by WendyB

I first went to London when I was 15. During that trip, I bleached my bangs blonde and got my left ear pierced for a second time. When I arrived home, my mother was very upset about these things. Good thing I didn’t tell her that I smooched a 20-something guy during the whole flight…
