Throwback Thursday: Gangsta Boo in NYC

April 23, 2020 by WendyB

Shout out to Gangsta Boo, my gorgeous rapper friend, for reminding me that seven years ago today, I was her entourage as she visited The Fader magazine office, followed by the Shade 45 music station. This might have been the visit where the Shade 45 peeps assumed I was in the music business and asked, “So…

Coachella 2018, Day 1: A “Short” Wait for Beyoncé

April 23, 2018 by WendyB

Good news! As you could tell from yesterday’s post, I survived my third Coachella … and, once again, I did it without using alcohol, drugs, or face paint. It’s possible, so don’t believe anyone who tells you otherwise. My Day 1 was actually Day 2 of the festival’s first weekend. I missed Friday, when The…

The Fader, Trinidad James & Fashion Blogger Gangsta Boo

April 25, 2013 by WendyB

The Fader has a good interview with hot new rapper Trinidad James, aka Trinidad Jame$. James was signed to major label Def Jam due to the success of his independently produced video for “All Gold Everything,” aka the reason I randomly say “Woo!” when I’m hot and sweaty. (The video is NSFW and REALLY not…

A High Heel That’s as Comfortable as a Sneaker, Guaranteed

October 4, 2012 by WendyB

The “Big City Pump Silhouette Sneaker” by Be&D is highlarious. You’d definitely get the best of both worlds with that one. I’m normally a big fan of trompe l’oeil fashion, but I prefer real heel height, so I’ve been wearing the hell out of my Thelma wedge sneakers by Ash Shoes. I wore them to,…

What Wendy Wore: Still Dotty After All These Years

August 30, 2012 by WendyB

I wore “homegrown” vintage when I went out with gorgeous blogger/designer Stacy Lomman on Monday. I got this polka-dot silk top at the Tahari store in New York’s World Financial Center between 1992 and 1995. There was an Ann Taylor store near the Tahari store. I used to go into those two stores every couple…

What Wendy Wore: Betsey Johnson Punk Label for Dog Walking

August 27, 2012 by WendyB

I’m glad I’m not a celebrity. I would hate to dress up for the paparazzi every time I take the dogs out or make an emergency Cadbury Dairy Milk run.  My standard dog-walking look this summer has been unbrushed hair, an oversize concert t-shirt, bike shorts and flip flops. And that’s chic compared to what…

What Wendy Wore: Old Uniform and New Uniform

July 26, 2011 by WendyB

Before I quit the corporate world in February 2005, I wore a lot of suits. They were my weekday uniform. The ones I got between 2000 and 2005 were particularly nice, and I couldn’t bear to part with them. Recently, I’ve been making an effort to wear them. I took an Alexander McQueen skirt suit…
