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….

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.

Throwback Thursday Gladiators, Plus More Miley & Madonna
In 2008, I got a pair of white wedge gladiator sandals by Jil Sander, inspired by my fond memories of the flat white gladiators I wore in 1985. I searched for photos of the original sandals but didn’t find any … until now! Here are the sandals sitting next to me on the beach. I…
What Wendy Wore: Visiting Chicago
Last week, I went to Chicago to see my designing friend Stacy Lomman‘s collection presented on the runway for the Gold Coast Fashion Award Show for the second year in a row. More than 1,000 people attend the event, which is a fundraiser for the Children’s Service Board, an affiliated organization of the Anne &…
Fashion Repeats Itself: Strappy One-Piece Bathing Suits
A strappy, cut-out one-piece bathing suit by Agent Provocateur has been hot for a while. Modern Family actress Sofia Vergara looked great in it! Kim Kardashian has worn the bikini version. That two-piece look was popular enough that another company produced something similar, causing Agent Provocateur to sue. Knowing that, I thought I had fallen…
Breaking Bad: What a Finale!
Who watched the Breaking Bad finale? (If you haven’t seen it because you’re in another time zone or still catching up on earlier episodes, stop whining about spoilers and get off the Internet for fuck’s sake!) I loved it! It didn’t make me teary like the last episode of MASH … … or Cheers, and…
