MrB, Photographed by Bill Cunningham. Plus, a Casting Call.
The original street-style photographer, Bill Cunningham of the New York Times, also shoots big social events. He was at the Committee to Protect Journalists International Press Freedom Awards on Tuesday, where he photographed MrB, the other awardees and guests. You can see the pictures in tomorrow’s New York Times Sunday Styles section … and here….
Thankful for Press Freedom
The Committee to Protect Journalism has posted the biographical videos (produced by Univision) and acceptance speeches for three of Tuesday’s International Press Freedom Awards honorees. Here are the links for television reporter Janet Hinostroza of Ecuador; humorist Bassem Youssef of Egypt; and newspaper reporter Nedim Şener of Turkey. As I mentioned yesterday, Nguyen Van Hai,…
What We Wore: CPJ International Press Freedom Awards
Every year, the Committee to Protect Journalists presents its International Press Freedom Awards on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. The timing is apt, because the event always reminds me how much freedom of expression we do have in the United States — despite efforts to chip away at it — and how thankful we should be…
Fashion Repeats Itself: Polka Dots and Flowers
Katy Perry wore a polka-dot-and-floral strapless gown on the red carpet at the American Music Awards.

What Wendy Wore: Holiday Party, ’20s Style
MrB and I were invited to the Fresh Air Fund’s ’20s-themed fundraising dinner last night, so I got out the beaded ’20s-style vintage dress that I bought in 2007 and first wore in 2009. At the party, big fake pearl strands and feather boas were given out as favors, and I added those to my…
Cowlick, Defined
At one of my old corporate jobs, we wimmins got to talking about hair and I mentioned the super-aggressive cowlick lurking in my bangs. One of my employees then asked me what a cowlick was and why it was called that. I said, “It’s when your hair sticks up like a cow licked ya!” She…
