I see from my blog traffic that peeps are still interested in leather shorts, which I wrote about in April and August. If you’re looking for a pair that will stand out from the crowd, check out the vintage Dolce & Gabbana bermudas at Vagabond NYC. They have fringe, sequins and beads! I wonder if…
What Wendy Wore: A Peacock Among Politicians
Last week, MrB and I were invited to a large dinner that was also attended by various politicians and the people who love politicians. I decided to wear an Ossie Clark dress even though I had the feeling I should be wearing a suit instead. I asked MrB for his opinion. WendyB: “Do you think…
Important Culinary Announcement
Nearly everything tastes better with Jack Daniel’s Spicy Southwest Mustard on it. I don’t put it on Peeps or Cadbury Dairy Milk, but all meats and vegetables are fair game.
What Wendy Wore: Time Stands Still
The producers of the play Time Stands Still — about a photojournalist injured in a roadside bombing in Iraq — invited members of the Committee to Protect Journalists to see the show the weekend before last. MrB is the chairman of CPJ so I got to go too. The always-excellent Laura Linney stars as Sarah,…
Rihanna Brings Back More ’80s Memories
I haven’t been able to forget an outfit that Rihanna wore at the beginning of the month. That color combination reminds me of a matchy-matchy Esprit outfit I had in the ’80s when Esprit was hot-hot-hot. As I recall, I wore cropped purple pants with a boxy, striped purple and orange-yellow top. It seems everything…

Foot Fetish: Fluevog, McQueen, Ferragamo
When I was writing my post about Madonna’s ’80s lace-up booties, I had to do a lot of digging because every scrap of Madonna shoe information seemed to be about her pink Fluevogs in Truth or Dare. Despite all those references, I couldn’t find a photo. Then came Lady Miss Kier to the rescue! The…
Red Lipstick #3: MAC’s Prolong
It’s been two years since my last red lipstick post. I’m still devoted to MAC’s Pro Longwear Lipcolor in Lasting Lust. I rarely want to wear another red because I love Lasting Lust’s color and the endurance so much. For me, the product works just like MAC’s website promises: it is smudge-, run-, transfer- and…
Jewels of the Month: Halloween Treats
I enlisted what seemed to be friendly neighborhood Peeps to help show off my Halloween-appropriate Jewels of the Month. Click the photos to buy the jewelry. Oh noes! One of these Peeps is not like the others! Luckily, I had my stake necklace, so I could defend myself from the Peep-gone-bad. The moral of the…
Share Your Best Search Terms
Just a few days after I took note of a plethora of “Wendy 4” searches, I looked at Feedjit and discovered that someone from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, found my blog by Poodling the following (punctuation and capitalization are direct from Feedjit): “I saved 10 pandas and a koala bear by putting this picture of my…
