On the Town: Macklemore at the Theater at MSG

November 15, 2013 by WendyB

After years of taking shiteous concert photos followed by some sporadic but significant improvement (see Eminem, Skylar Grey, Beyonce and Rihanna … but not Depeche Mode), I now go into full-on photojournalist mode at concerts.

The Stylish Sixties (and Way Beyond)

November 13, 2013 by WendyB

Recently, one of my blogger friends — I can’t remember who! Confess in the comments, if you like! — remarked that as inspiring as the wimmins of the Advanced Style blog are, many of them are over-the-top in a way that is intimidating to the less fashion-involved lady.

Throwback Thursday: Frankie Say Relax

November 7, 2013 by WendyB

All my posts this week have mentioned 1980s musicians: Devo, Ronnie James Dio, and Jimmy Somerville. I’m going to continue the theme and write about Frankie Goes to Hollywood for Throwback Thursday.
