Musical Men in Red Pants at the VMAs
I first noticed the new popularity of red pants at the Independent Fashion Bloggers conference in February. Soon they were on so many bloggers that I put a red-pants slideshow together for the Huffington Post. At that point, I remembered that I’d grown up watching male rockers on MTV jumping around in tight red pants….
Flashback to My 2003 MTV VMA Fashion
While I’m watching MTV’s VMA pre-show, I’m reminiscing about the times MrB and I went to the VMAs back in the late ’90s and early 2000s when the show was in New York. I’m pretty sure I wore my white leather wedding outfit to the 2001 show, but that was before I had a digital…
Glow-in-the-Dark Halston Dress Brightens My Day
My love for ’60s electric-dress designer Diana Dew and electric-dress wearer Tiger Morse means I’m always on the lookout for light-up clothes. Thank you to gorgeous blogger Dawn Del Russo for tweeting Halston’s glow-in-the-dark dress. It doesn’t turn on with a switch like a Diana Dew original, but it’s probably less dangerous. As Richie Berlin…
“Well, Holo There!” Mani/Pedi by Tracylee Percival
Celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival named my new holographic nail designs “Well, Holo There!” For the toes, she did two layers of Minx: a silver holographic layer with a silver lace pattern over it. As with my last pedicure, it was difficult to dissuade Henry the dog from “helping” with the photography. Here’s a better look….
Snakes in My Closet
Right before Snakes on a Plane came out five years ago, a friend and I were so swayed by the pre-opening online hype that we bet MrB that the movie would be a mega-blockbuster. Well, it turned out that the hype was just hype. According to IMDB, the movie’s domestic gross barely topped the production…
Louis Vuitton Goes to the (Adorable) Dogs
I’ve been dying over this fall’s fetish-y Louis Vuitton rain boots since I saw a photo of them in June. I’m also dying over the expression on the Japanese Chin in this Vuitton ad. S/he looks a little stunned, no? When I was in Paris last month, I went into the Vuitton store to see…
Bloglovin’
It’s always a thrill to feel the love from other bloggers. I’m delighted that shoe designer Celine of The Shoe Girl named a new design in my honor. And it was fun to do a “closeted” interview with 365 Fashion Rehab. Click here to read my interview and here to follow 365 Fashion Rehab on…
Flashback to 1984: Whodini and the Hat
“Freaks Come Out at Night” from Whodini‘s 1984 Escape album has been stuck in my head for days. It’s reawakened my desire for singer Ecstasy’s trademark hat. If I find a hat just like that, I’m getting it no matter how it looks on me. It looks like I might have to fight gorgeous blogger…
What Wendy Wore: Addicted to Castelbajac
In 2009, I wandered into a Jean-Charles de Castelbajac store in London and instantly became a huge fan of his work. My best and most-frequently-worn purchase was definitely the patent rainbow loafers. But I also love my boob-cloud top, sidewalk-traffic-stopping Lego dress, sailor outfit and smiling skirt. When I was in Paris last month, I…
