My gorgeous sister Terri Berry recently moved to a suburb of Chicago, so I flew out to go to Lollapalooza with her. We took the train from her home into the city with a few zillion teenagers. Two of the female teenagers asked me if I was “SO EXCITED” to be going to Lollapalooza. I…
Can’t Get Lenny Kravitz’s Phone Action Out of My Head
Way back in June, I was delighted by musician Lenny Kravitz’s so-wrong-it’s-right, retro, mobile-phone handset. When I was in Paris last month, I saw the handsets by Native Union at Colette. They come in a range of colors and cost 35 euros, including VAT (approx. $50). You can also buy the handset from Amazon for…
What Wendy Wore: A Mullet Comes Out of the Closet
A couple of years ago, I bought a 1980s Patrick Kelly dress on eBay. When it arrived, I was surprised that it was a knit. A big, formless knit. I brought the dress to Jean at Ghost Tailor for alterations, then stuck it in my closet until I felt I could cope with a disappointing…
First Glimpse: Memento Mori Ring in Silver
Here’s an iPhone photo of my first Memento Mori ring in silver. As you can see, my “47th Street” manicure by Tracylee Percival is holding up pretty well a week after I got it. I’ve lost a couple of nail jewels but have held on to the majority of them. Tracylee set the jewels in…

We’re Raising Money for Mike D’s Yeti, Right?
I’m delighted that gorgeous reader Marian commented on my Beastie Boys post to say that she’s ready and willing to help buy Beastie Boy Mike D a SkyMall Bigfoot. Which one of you is going to get us Mike D’s address so we can deliver his gift? Writing about the Beastie Boys reminded me of…
Here a Mullet, There a Mullet, Everywhere a Mullet
Since my multiple posts on high/low hemlines, aka mullets, I’ve been seeing more and more examples of the style. The Telegraph did a celebrity/runway slideshow, which includes a couple of the looks I’ve shown but plenty of fresh ones. I’ve noticed that the white Cushnie et Ochs dress worn by actress Teresa Palmer has been…

Things I’ve Read in Newspapers
Today the New York Times wrote a story about maternal deaths in Uganda. These paragraphs jumped out at me: “It also raises broader questions about the unintended impact of foreign aid on Africa’s struggling public health systems. As the United States and other donors have given African nations billions of dollars to fight AIDS and…
The Beastie Boys, Bug Vacuum and Bigfoot
Last month, I was so bored on an airplane that I started flipping through American Way magazine out of desperation. To my surprise, there was a laugh-out-loud interview with Mike D (Michael Diamond) and Ad-Rock (Adam Horovitz) of the Beastie Boys (The third Beastie, MCA [Adam Yauch], is being treated for cancer and didn’t participate)….
