As I’ve mentioned many times, I’ve seen Madonna on every tour she’s done since 1985, when I skipped my high-school prom to see her at Radio City. For quite a while, I’ve seen her twice on each tour. She usually plays a string of dates in New York and I realized that whenever I went…

Stacy Lomman Wardrobe Therapy: Outfit #4
The Yelawolf concert/nor’easter on Wednesday kicked my ass. I was knocked out with a bad cold for days. Fortunately, I was able to pull myself together to go to a screening of Silver Linings Playbook last night. Knowing that I had a Stacy Lomman-styled outfit to wear helped me get out of bed. As I…
Stacy Lomman Wardrobe Therapy: Election Night Outfit
Early yesterday morning, I went to vote at my local Mormon church. It was mayhem. The lines weaved in and out of the pews so that confused people were constantly getting on the wrong queue; instead of the voting machines we had in the past, we got SAT-like forms with bubbles to color in with…
Stacy Lomman Wardrobe Therapy: Outfits #1 and #2
When I first graduated from college, I was very practical. My wardrobe was all about the basics: black, black and more black. Then, about 10 years ago, I decided I had enough basics and I started to collect “statement” items. Especially funny ones. I do like to laugh. Crazy dresses, like the vintage Moschino seen…
Adam Ant: From Halloween Costume to Concert Attire
Between Hurricane Sandy and work, I didn’t get around to making Halloween plans. I had a great costume in mind too. My favorite part about dressing up is the hair and makeup, so I’m definitely not going to stick a pair of cat ears on my head, draw on some eyeliner whiskers and call it…
What Wendy Wore: Mid-Autumn Festival Party
Friends who used to live in Hong Kong had their annual Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival party last Friday. The invitation encouraged Chinese attire. I don’t have anything authentically Chinese anymore (why on earth did I get rid of that padded silk jacket I got in Hong Kong in 1996?!) but I do have an Ossie Clark…
Snipping Away
My hair guru, Keith Carpenter, has been snipping away at the left side of my ‘do since July. The asymmetrical hair of the punk ’70s and New Wave ’80s really appeals to me lately. Keith sheared me a little shorter yesterday before I went to a dinner. This is the shortest that section of my…
What Wendy Wore: In Stitches After Frankenweenie
I’ve been panting to see Tim Burton’s new movie Frankenweenie because I love short, chunky dogs … … and big-eyed cats with tiny mouths. MrB and I went to see the movie at a theater a block away from our apartment last night — within the magic zone of invisibility — so I just threw…
What Wendy Wore: A Pattern and a Print
When I was fresh out of college and sartorially conservative, I believed the perfect party dress was one in basic, boring black. I think I read some magazine article that said no one can tell if you wear the same dress everywhere if the frock in question is generic enough. After a couple of years,…
Non-Buyer’s Remorse: Giuseppe Zanotti Wedge Sneakers
I very rarely suffer from buyer’s remorse, but every once in a while I come down with a case of non-buyer’s remorse. Right now I have it bad for the silver Giuseppe Zanotti wedge sneakers that Sporty Spice wore at the Olympic closing ceremonies. I loved those sneakers when I saw them, but I sternly…
