A great thing about coming in third in the 2008 Weblog Award’s Best Fashion Blog category is that I didn’t have to fulfill my promise to celebrate a first-place finish with one-armed push-ups a la 73-year-old Jack Palance on Oscar night. I’ve attempted a one-armed push-up. I’m pretty sure my effort failed, though the concussion…
Third Place Is as Good as Winning
My peeps, I didn’t win, but I am feeling very good about coming in third in the Best Fashion Blog category in the 2008 Weblog Awards (I guess it’s as official as it’s going to be at this point). I am just a little personal blog, while the winner and the runner-up are big, high-traffic…
Gorgeous Bloggers Wear WendyB
I’m pretty worn out from my intense campaign for Best Fashion Blog. Dang! I’m a weakling. Meanwhile, Obama endured an endless presidential campaign, only to jump immediately into one of the hardest jobs in the world. (The No. 1 hardest job belongs to the person who has to do the body makeup for Marc Jacobs’s…

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
I had a great time last night thanks to my gorgeous friend Jen, who invited me to her family’s annual outing to Carnegie Hall to see “1964…The Tribute,” an unbelievably realistic-sounding Beatles tribute band. If you closed your eyes, you’d think it was the real thing. And, if you opened your eyes (which I’d recommend…
Linda’s Got a Brand New Bag
Elle.com reports that architect-artist dude Ron Arad and Notify artistic director Maurice Ohayon joined together to create a space-age handbag for my favorite model, LindaE. Embed from Getty Images The bag doesn’t interest me nearly as much as the “four-hand” factoid from the story: “What happens when supermodel Linda Evangelista—who at her height in the…

I’m a Pretty Girl (So Vote for Me)
My gorgeous mother, BarbaraB, took me to see Patti Lupone in the musical Gypsy this week. I’d seen the play last March, but after a ceiling vent fell on an audience member, I couldn’t really focus on Patti’s big finale. I wanted to experience an accident-free performance before the play closes on January 11. I…
