What Wendy Wore: Vintage Madonna

October 16, 2019 by WendyB

Madonna was at the Brooklyn Academy of Music this month with her “Madame X” tour, and of course I was there — twice! I’ve never missed one of her tours, and I do like to catch two performances per tour. You can find out more about my decades of fandom from the YouTube video I…

What Wendy Wore: Temple Fancy, Square Casual

August 31, 2018 by WendyB

When I mentioned last week that I’d been admiring the Egyptian jewelry in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I held back on what brought me to the museum.  This was not your ordinary cultural outing, but the fantastic wedding reception of Ben Cotton and Abigail Fisch, which was held in the museum’s Temple of Dendur….

Wednesday’s Video: My Moschino Collection

March 14, 2018 by WendyB

This week’s video is about my homegrown-vintage Moschino … and nipple piercings. Enjoy! You can tell my videos aren’t overly scripted because I started out saying that most of my Moschino is pre-2005, and then I realized, “Um, not really.” In fact, the safety-pin t-shirt is from 2013, which is practically yesterday when it comes…

Wednesday’s Video: Casual Day!

August 2, 2017 by WendyB

In a recent video, I spoke about the joy of buying (and wearing!) statement clothing instead of basic pieces. But do I wear decades-old Ossie Clark jackets and beaded ’20s-style dresses all the time? Nope! Most of the time, you’ll catch me in jeans and a t-shirt, like this. What Wendy Wore T-shirt: Damien Hirst via…

Wanderlust 2014: Scenic Santa Monica, California

September 15, 2014 by WendyB

MrB and I went to California on Labor Day weekend to visit family and friends. We stayed near the beach in Santa Monica and it was so beautiful, daytime … … and nighttime. The buildings were pink, there wasn’t a cloud in the sky … … and the Champagne sangria was delicious. MrB and I…

Happy Birthday, Madonna!

August 16, 2014 by WendyB

It’s Madonna’s 56th birthday today and in honor of the big event I did something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time — photograph as many of my Madonna tour t-shirts as I could find. Here is Henry the dog inspecting 14 concert shirts. The oldest shirt is from 1990, in the top…

“Exit Through the Gift Shop”*

February 20, 2013 by WendyB

I can’t resist a museum gift shop. When I’m at one in real life, I’m drawn to catalogs and books. On the Internets, I look at fashion. Last night, I was browsing some gift shops online when I hit the Guggenheim‘s site. Why didn’t I know that this New York City museum sells a reproduction…

America’s Next Top Model?

May 12, 2012 by WendyB

ProPublica — the nonprofit journalism organization where MrB is editor-in-chief  — partnered with Selfless Tee to produce a t-shirt last month. The shirt featured a design by Ryan Grossman that said “Journalism With Moral Force.” Selfless Tee creates cause-inspired T-shirts that help support a range of non-profits, and ProPublica got $7 from every $22 t-shirt…

Throwback Musical Fashions From the Jacksons … and Rihanna?

November 12, 2011 by WendyB

In 2010, a year after singer Michael Jackson’s death, his family launched the J5 Collection. J5 stands for the Jackson 5 — the family musical group that launched Michael, who ultimately went on to much bigger stardom.  The website describes the “collection” as “a unique celebration of The Jacksons achievements as an international mega group.” …

What Chartreuse and Naked Marc Jacobs Have in Common

September 21, 2011 by WendyB

If one of you is desperate to buy me a gift, I’ll gladly take a chartreuse ombre gown from Olivier Theyskens’s first show for Nina Ricci in 2007. Vintage dealer Marilyn Glass has a nice one on 1stdibs.com. I despised chartreuse for years. Decades even. Then, overnight, I fell in love with it. I often…
