Having a Samantha Moment in a Stacy Lomman Dress

August 10, 2010 by WendyB

As I said in yesterday’s post, I got together with gorgeous blogger Jennine of The Coveted last week so she could photograph and interview me for her denim blog, Eat, Sleep, Denim. While we were at it, I wanted to get a picture of a dress made for me by gorgeous blogger/clothing designer Stacy Lomman…

Watch Me Wear This One

August 9, 2010 by WendyB

Before I started dating the gorgeous MrB in 1998 (thanks to the intervention of my late dog, Mr. Chubbs), I’d barely worn jewelry in years. Once in a blue moon, I’d wear a sapphire ring my parents got me for my 16th birthday, and I got a chunky silver ring during a trip to Dublin…

Musical Moment With Marshall Mathers

August 8, 2010 by WendyB

I’ve listened to Love the Way You Lie by Eminem and Rihanna 50 times in 12 hours. No exaggeration. Now you can be obsessed by it too. The video features Megan Fox and Dominic Monaghan.

Ossie Clark Is Fugging Fabulous

August 4, 2010 by WendyB

Thanks to commenter Carrie for pointing out that director Lucy Walker’s vintage Ossie Clark dress made it onto Go Fug Yourself. Carrie remembered that I had re-posted this 2004 photo of myself last month. I read Go Fug Yourself from 2004 to 2006, when comments were regularly allowed (now they’re selectively allowed.) Commenters ranged from…

I Am Amused

August 3, 2010 by WendyB

Here are a few things I’ve heard recently from friends and one brand-new acquaintance that made me laugh. “Don’t sign too many autographs, Paul. It cheapens them.” — said to MrB by our handsome friend Barney. “I’m going to retweet the hell out of this!” — comedian Baratunde Thurston. “I got this dress at a…

Adventures in Engagement Ring Redesigning

August 2, 2010 by WendyB

I do a lot of custom work in my jewelry business. A customer comes to me with an idea and I make it a reality. Sometimes I create a piece from scratch, like I did with these dog cufflinks. Other times, customers come to me with old jewelry that they don’t wear anymore and I…

It’s Official: My New Hero Is Antoine Dodson

July 30, 2010 by WendyB

In case you’ve lost track of the cast of characters in my life, here it is: My idol is Coco. My main pimp is Ice-T. My greatest obsessions are Sam Waterston’s eyebrows. My musical goddess is Lady Gaga. I haven’t had a hero since 2008 when comedian Katt Williams went crazy. I thought of placing…

What Wendy Wore: Amazing Belzer

July 29, 2010 by WendyB

Last night, our generous friends Barney and Kathryn took us out for a belated anniversary dinner at Ouest. I wanted to wear something I hadn’t worn yet this year and picked a purple Black Halo dress from 2008 (see the blue version on Debra Messing here). I was running late as usual, so by the…
