Taking a Few Days Off

December 27, 2007 by WendyB

I’ve had a lousy week and I’m just not feeling this. I will be back in 2008. Gigi the dog joins me in wishing you health and happiness in the new year. P.S. The gold dress has arrived and the size small IS that short. I’m going to have to take a photo and have…

Show Some Respect, Bitches!

December 22, 2007 by WendyB

I’m another year older today and I think I’ve hit the age where I can scream at disrespectful youngsters and say things like “kids these days!” So mind your manners or you will rue the day I was born. Anyway, here’s a photo of Mom, aka BarbaraB, taken just over 40 years ago. I was…

Life Is Not a Cabaret. Stop Calling Me “Old Chum”!

September 4, 2007 by WendyB

“Pictures lie.” That’s what my hairstylist once told me when I was complaining that I had just discovered I looked craptastic thanks to a photo. I hope this one is lying its ass off. I’m just sharing it to show a different look (though not a different pose) from the Ossie Clark printed dress look….

Happy Birthday, Madonna

August 16, 2007 by WendyB

Madonna is 49 today, and I remember listening to her when she was 26. To be exact, I remember listening to her on vinyl, in the basement of my parents’ house, with my friend Brian whom I tutored in Spanish. I also remember going to her show at Radio City instead of my high school…

Happy Birthday, Husband

August 14, 2007 by WendyB

Wishing a very happy birthday to my wonderful husband! (Yes, I know the photo is of our wedding cake, but no birthday cake pictures were immediately available.)

Happy Birthday, Terri Berry!

August 14, 2007 by WendyB

Happy birthday to my gorgeous sister! Terri changed her last name when she got married. (I did not, but I offered to let my husband change his to mine. He didn’t take me up on that. Silly man!) Anyway, I was hoping she’d marry a guy whose last name was Strawberry. Even I would change…

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…
