This “Fuck Work” holographic sequin tank top by Ashish, available at Browns of London, made me LOL. Unfortunately, there are very, very, VERY few workplaces where one might get away with wearing this. Maybe it’s better to save this top for after you’ve won the lottery and told your boss to take this job and…

It’s a Suit! It’s a Gown! It’s a Suit! It’s a Gown!
Last year, I pined for a vintage trompe l’oeil Roberta di Camerino dress that looked like a green pantsuit. Now my gorgeous friend Cherie of Shrimpton Couture has an even more desirable version in red. So highlarious. Argh! I want it.
Happy Birthday, BarbaraB!
Happy birthday to my gorgeous mother, BarbaraB! I thought I’d celebrate by sharing this March 1967 vacation photo of us. What do you mean, you can’t see me? I’m there! Admittedly, I became a lot easier to spot after I was born in December of that year. Did you know that during the first month…
Throwback Thursday: Favorite, Possibly Fiorucci, Dress in 1985
I’ve been looking for photos of this favorite 1980s dress for a while! Unfortunately, I’m sitting in this July 1985 shot, meaning you can’t see the whole dress, but BarbaraB’s boobaciousness makes up for that. If I remember correctly, I got this dress at Fiorucci, which was only THE best store in the world. The…
Wendy Brandes Jewelry in Da Mafia 6ix’s “Go Hard” Video
My gorgeous rapper friend Gangsta Boo has reunited with some of her Three 6 Mafia colleagues to form a new rap group called Da Mafia 6iX. They’ve collaborated with Yelawolf on a song called “Go Hard.” I already loved “Go Hard” — which really does go hard — but I loved it even more after…
Good Reading for Aspiring Rocket Scientists (and Other Wimmins)
A fascinating article by Eileen Pollack in Sunday’s New York Times Magazine asks, “Why Are There Still So Few Women in Science?” It’s worthwhile reading for all wimmins, even those not interested in science, and I’m going to get to why that is … just as soon as I tell you about the science part….

In case you missed it, here’s what was on the blog this week: Monday: Goodbye, Breaking Bad! (Don’t forget to buy a Heisenberg hat earring souvenir!) Tuesday: A modern take on a 1960s bathing suit. Wednesday: What Wendy Wore in Chicago. Thursday: Gladiator sandals in 1985. Friday: My new stud earrings are skulls, an anatomical…
I Love My Peeps
I’m trying to clean up my computer desktop, which is almost as messy as my real desktop, and that’s saying a lot. I just like to keep files there (on the computer) for easy access. Screencaps are among the things that pile up. I laughed out loud when I saw this screencapped tweet from gorgeous…
Jewels of the Month: Skulls, a Heart & Other Doctor-Worthy Studs
I just can’t stop adding stud earring designs to my WENDYB by Wendy Brandes line! Last week, I introduced my Heisenberg hat stud in honor of Breaking Bad‘s finale. Now, in time for Halloween, I’ve got a miniaturized earring version of the skull design that first appeared in my Juana peekaboo skull ring and Juana…
