I’ve got something for everyone today. For bloggers who have gotten nasty comments: Gala Darling’s helpful post on dealing with negativity. (By the way, does everyone know that Val from Life of a Valley Girl has shut down her blog due to stalking?) For latex-loving pervs and fashionistas: Eli at Thrift Eye has got shiny…

Ossie Clark in Cabaret

May 17, 2008 by WendyB

Last night, I watched one of my favorite movies, Cabaret, for the first time in years. I was thrilled to realize that Liza Minnelli was wearing the blouse version of an Ossie Clark dress that I own. Liza wearing Ossie in Cabaret My Ossie dress I still love the choreography for “Mein Herr.” Mein Herr

Bloggers’ Delight

May 17, 2008 by WendyB

The handsome street-style blogger Craig of Altamira NYC was kind enough to arrange a bloggers’ get-together this evening. Be sure to keep an eye on his blog for photos. He took a few pictures of me standing on the street and after a shot or two, suggested I try a pose that looked a more…

Can’t Get Enough WendyB?

May 14, 2008 by WendyB

If so, you need help! Seriously, even I’ve had enough of me. If it were possible, I’d go on a vacation without me. That said, it was awfully nice of gorgeous blogger Vyque from Fasshonaburu to do a big interview with … me. Check it out here for her sake! Totally random 2003 photo of…

Does Anyone Have Orangutan Arms?

May 13, 2008 by WendyB

I got a kick out of the seller’s description of this sweater on eBay. “I’m not even sure where to begin the description of this sweater. It’s a nubby off-white acrylic knit, and was apparently made for either a Yeti, or a knuckle-dragging caveman. The sleeves hang way down past the bottom of the sweater….

Not Fairy Likely to Find Prada on Bluefly

May 12, 2008 by WendyB

For a few days, I’ve been obsessed with finding the Prada Fairy Bag on Bluefly. Bluefly keeps sending me emails advertising the bag, and each time I immediately scour the site for it, only to find neither fairy hide nor fairy hair. I emailed Bluefly to inquire about the situation, and received this reply: Thank…

Quirking Along

May 10, 2008 by WendyB

I’ve previously done the “six unspectacular quirks” tag, but since gorgeous bloggers Fasshonaburu and Pretty in Black have both tagged me, I’m doing it again. Please note that I will beat a bitch’s ass if anyone else tries to tag me with this. I’m supposed to put the rules here, but I’m not going to….
