I’m mad that I didn’t see this vintage Moschino dress on 1stdibs.com before someone else bought it. I already have two Moschino “message” dresses. I wore my “You Can Dress Me Up But You Can’t Take Me Out” dress for the first time in 2010. In 2014, I got the “Not Just a Pretty Dress”…
Seen in New York City
While doing errands last week — before the big snow — I took a few photos of things that entertained me. This No Parking sign on 5th Avenue always makes me laugh. I promise you that if you go to the Rockefeller Center skating rink on Valentine’s Day, you’ll see at least one proposal if…

Throwback Thursday: Sharing Earrings With Madonna Again
I was so excited to see this 1980s photo of Madonna. Not only is she wearing her famous Maripolitan rubber bangles, but she’s wearing matching rubber earrings. SCROLL TO THE THIRD PHOTO. Here’s a 1986 photo of me wearing the same earrings. Woot! You can also glimpse one of them in this picture. I’m sure…
All the Young Dudes
I’m quite proud of my habit of keeping pop-culture ephemera, such as this program from Madonna’s 1987 AIDS benefit concert and a Duran Duran ticket stub from the same year. However, my high-school friend Jim Begala wins the prize for keeping everything. Jim previously confirmed the exact date of a 1984 INXS concert for me,…
What Wendy Wore: Red Velvet at the GEM Awards
Glamorous show-business events are great for spotting ultra-high-end jewelry, like the 200 carats of Harry Winston diamonds recently worn by Jennifer Lopez at the Golden Globes.

My Best Dressed at the 2016 Critics’ Choice Awards Is …
There were lots of pretty looks at tonight’s Critics’ Choice Awards in Santa Monica, Calif. I kept thinking, “I’d wear that,” as I looked at the fashions. For instance, the striped Tracy Reese dress worn by Constance Zimmer of UnREAL is definitely one I’d gravitate to in a store. Embed from Getty Images But nothing…
