September 16, 2007 by WendyB

My gorgeous stepdaughter showed me the very funny Indietits site this weekend. Get your mind out of the gutter! They’re birds. Well, I admit they are very dirty birds. Dirty hipster birds. The archives don’t seem to be working on the site, but if you click on the links for the RSS or LiveJournal feeds,…

September 13, 2007 by WendyB

Anne Boleyn Good lord! When I said I’d do a Thursday book post, I didn’t realize Thursdays were going to start coming at me so fast and furiously! When did every day become Thursday? I feel like I just did Katherine of Aragon a minute ago. Katherine was the first of the six wives of…

September 13, 2007 by WendyB

Leggings from The Row, via Sleep Deprivation and Stories of My Bullshit Youth I’m back in latex-blogging mode, thanks to gorgeous blogger Jen, who pointed out these latex-looking leggings from The Row.

Lucy Liu Wore Evan’s Skirt!

September 12, 2007 by WendyB

Marc Jacobs Made Anna Run for It!

September 10, 2007 by WendyB

Do You Ever Feel Like Something Is Missing?

September 9, 2007 by WendyB

Yet you can’t quite figure out what it is? “I can’t put my finger on it, but something is amiss, ” thought Gwendolyn. “Luckily, a LBD is always appropriate!” Gorgeous future client (ahem!) Jane, noticing my latex fetish, directed me to Syren Latex. Syren has high-end leggings as well as air-conditioned dresses. They also have…
