See Hi-Rez at McDonald’s and Webster Hall

May 27, 2015 by WendyB

I’m excited to see my customer Hi-Rez getting some much-deserved attention.

The video was shared by Lil Wayne on Facebook and has close to five million views. Not…

My Taxi Ring is a JCK Editors’ Pick!

May 26, 2015 by WendyB

Read All About Me on FashPlay

May 22, 2015 by WendyB

Thanks to the gorgeous Ali A for interviewing me for FashPlay, the site where “fashion and gaming collide.” Not only did Ali spend a long time with me on the phone, but she made me sound coherent even though I was sick and kind of rambling when we spoke. (And I completely lost my train…

Throwback Thursday: Mr. Chubbs & the Peke Not Taken

May 21, 2015 by WendyB

I brought home my late, great Pekingese Mr. Chubbs from the city pound on May 10, 1996. At my apartment, I placed him on a new dog pillow and put a chew toy next to him. We contemplated each other for a while. I’m always nervous on the first day with a new pet. I…

Mad Men Finale: I’d Like to Buy It a Coke

May 18, 2015 by WendyB

Mad Men came through for me last night! It was totally worth skipping the FKA twigs concert I’d planned to attend in order to see the finale in real time. Do I really have to say that there are spoilers here? There are spoilers here! I honestly didn’t know what to expect, though there were…
