Friends and Family Report

June 25, 2008 by WendyB

My gorgeous friend (and jewelry-selling assistant) Shawn Love has written, produced and directed a play! “Raw Love” had its first staged reading tonight. Guess who her costume designer is? Keep guessing till you say “Wendy Brandes.” That is the correct answer. Shawn during rehearsal. “Um, yeah, I don’t see that line in the script.” Shawn…

TV Alert

June 22, 2008 by WendyB

Whatcha doing tonight? Spending quality time with the family, you say? Ha! I knew you weren’t doing anything important. You have no excuse not to watch this ProPublica/60 Minutes report on the U.S.-funded Alhurra television network, which spews anti-American propaganda in the Middle East, with a dash of Holocaust denial to add flava. If you…

Sexism and the City

June 1, 2008 by WendyB

For years, I’ve been irked by certain criticism of Sex and the City, the series. I understand if someone doesn’t think the show was funny, entertaining or moving. But lashing out at the lifestyle of the “self-absorbed” female characters in what is, after all, an escapist comedy, telegraphs a fear of the undomesticated woman. This…

Where the Hell Is This Sonia Rykiel?

March 2, 2008 by WendyB

After all these years, I still pine for Carrie Bradshaw’s Paris outfit. The Sonia Rykiel giant-flower top was fabulous! The skirt was beautiful too, but I can’t find a picture of it. Speaking of Sex and the City, I was very annoyed by this article on the movie’s fashion and all of its idiotic and…

Anne Boleyn for Dummies

February 28, 2008 by WendyB

The Other Boleyn Girl opens in theaters today. I was reading about the movie on some random website and noticed this in the comments: “Why are they using the Ugly Betty necklace in the Boleyn movie?” Why indeed? Allow me to explain. Let’s start with a simple image search for “Anne Boleyn.” It will result…

Patti LuPone Post From Jan. 26*

February 5, 2008 by WendyB

Patti LuPone in Evita back in the day As I mentioned on my wrongly-blocked-by-Google blog, Patti LuPone is one of my obsessions. So today is a happy day, my peeps! I have tickets to see Patti (again) in Gypsy. The show has moved to Broadway! Get your tickets at telecharge.com. If you go, keep an…

Musings on Voting and Football

February 4, 2008 by WendyB

If you live in one of the Super Tuesday states, don’t forget to vote. There’s no excuse not to vote because Buffy the Vampire Slayer is off the air. Some years ago, a woman I worked with went to her disorganized voting place, waited and waited and then left before getting to vote because the…

Unfrozen Caveman Blogger, Back on Display

January 29, 2008 by WendyB

“One hundred thousand years ago, a caveman was out hunting on the frozen wastes when he slipped and fell into a crevasse. In 1988, he was discovered by some scientists and thawed out. He then went to law school and became… Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer.” That was Saturday Night Live’s introduction for a series of skits…

"I Gave It All to Your Cousin Josephine!"

January 13, 2008 by WendyB

I love this scene from The Sopranos. Tony and his murderous mother Livia are fighting about her future, including the dispensation of her good jewelry. My Livia Poison Ring wasn’t inspired by Livia Soprano, though I’m sure she would have found it useful. Livia Poison Ring in 18K yellow gold and diamonds© Wendy Brandes 2007-2008Photo…

Lucy Liu’s Clothes in Cashmere Mafia

January 8, 2008 by WendyB

Dear Googlers of “Lucy Liu and Cashmere Mafia clothes”: I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that you can’t have those clothes because a lot of them are one-of-a-kind vintage pieces. The good news is that if you’re in New York, you can shop for your own one-of-a-kind pieces at the…
