My Worst Dressed at the 2022 Grammys Is …

April 5, 2022 by WendyB

I started my blog in 2007 with the motto “Wear What You Want” and, accordingly, I’ve avoided naming “worst-dressed” people. I’ve decided to draw the line on someone’s look just a few times, and this is one of those moments: My worst-dressed at the 2022 Grammy Awards is the Recording Academy itself, which covered itself…

Drawing the Line at Courtney Love’s Nipples

March 9, 2011 by WendyB

My personal motto is Wear What You Want, but there are exceptions to every rule.  Hillary Clinton’s hair clip was one exception. Here’s another, courtesy of Courtney Love, who nipped out to a party in a dress that was apparently designed by the same guys who made the emperor’s new clothes. At first, I thought…

Drawing the Line at Hillary Clinton’s Hair Clip

September 22, 2010 by WendyB

Hillary Clinton sashayed over to the United Nations on Sunday wearing a cheap-ass-looking hair clip, meaning she’s again in the middle of a fashion-related uproar. CLICK TO SEE A PHOTO. Search online for “Hillary Clinton hair clip” and you’ll see about 700 related articles. Some peeps are saying the clip is a fashion crime. Other…
