Last night, MrB and I went out with his friends Pat and Pattie. Pat and Pattie met when they were juniors in high school in 1958 and have been married for 45 years. They were delightful! We had dinner at Square Meal, which was also delightful. I wore one of the suits I saved from…

Howdy, Pardners!
My gorgeous friend Christine was supposed to attend Zang Toi’s “Lone Star Cowboy & the Texas Rose”-themed show with me on September 16, but something suddenly came up, as Greg Brady would say. So I took Christine to Zang’s showroom a couple of days later, accompanied by gorgeous blogger Jennine of The Coveted. Christine picked…
The Fight of the Century: Waterston vs. Schulman
As I said in my last post, gorgeous blogger Jennine and I went to see the social-media-inspired movie Catfish. There are two notable things about Catfish. First, the trailer that makes the movie look like a scary pseudo-documentary à la The Blair Witch Project is misleading. Second, Yaniv “Nev” Schulman, the handsome star of the…
We Need to Join Diet Snapple Anonymous
Gorgeous blogger Jennine from The Coveted and Independent Fashion Bloggers has been my house guest for a couple of weeks. We’ve been very busy. Among other things, we went to Zang Toi’s fashion show and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I bought a puzzle at the museum and we completed it. We ate at Nobu,…

What Wendy Wore: Zang Toi Dress at Zang Toi Show
My designing friend Zang Toi had his Spring 2011 fashion show at Lincoln Center last night. The theme was “Lone Star Cowboy & the Texas Rose,” and the inspiration was the epic 1956 movie Giant, starring Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson and James Dean. Zang’s audience got to hootin’ and hollerin’ when a shirtless cowboy strolled…
Stacy Lomman: Off to a Great (Kick)Start
Here’s my favorite photo from gorgeous blogger Stacy Lomman‘s debut fashion show: Stacy taking her end-of-show bow with a TALL runway model. Stacy financed her show through crowdfunding site Kickstarter. I read about Kickstarter in the spring when four programmers used it to raise funds for Diaspora, a privacy-conscious alternative to Facebook. Their goal was…
Fashion’s Night Out: So Excited I Could Scream
I hit the town for Fashion’s Night Out last night wearing my capitalism-promoting dollar dress and accompanied by hawt bloggers Jennine of The Coveted and Alyssa, Kathy and Vyque of Fasshonaburu. We ran away from the teeming masses fighting to get into Bergdorf Goodman, wandered through Astroturf inside Prada’s 5th Avenue store, and wound up…
What Wendy Wore: Word Up! at IFB
I’m at the Independent Fashion Bloggers Evolving Influence conference, doing the backstage interviews with the featured speakers. So far, I’ve chatted with Mattias Swenson of Bloglovin’, Phil Oh of Street Peeper, Yuri Lee of Lookbook.nu and Gala Darling. You’ll get to check it all out on video soonish. In the meantime, I told you I…
What Wendy Wore: FNO: The Show
I went to Lincoln Center last night for FNO: The Show, the ginormous, star-studded outdoor fashion show (Gisele! Naomi!) intended to get people jazzed to shop on Fashion’s Night Out this Friday. At first I was sad that I was inside Alice Tully Hall viewing the livestream of the event (courtesy of American Express) rather…
