Every so often, I wind up scouring the Internet for information on the New York City club people whom I worshiped from afar in the 1970s and 1980s — people like Anya Phillips, Sally Randall, Dianne Brill and Dean Johnson of Dean and the Weenies. Recently, I stumbled across the name Haoui “Howie” Montaug. It’s…

New Spidey Manicure, New Mid-Finger Rings
I finally got to see celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival yesterday. It was our first appointment since August. Between her fashion week and celebrity jobs, Tracylee was a hard woman to find. I think she was sorry so much time had passed when she saw my several ripped cuticles and one weirdly dented thumbnail. (About the…
America’s Next Top Model?
ProPublica — the nonprofit journalism organization where MrB is editor-in-chief — partnered with Selfless Tee to produce a t-shirt last month. The shirt featured a design by Ryan Grossman that said “Journalism With Moral Force.” Selfless Tee creates cause-inspired T-shirts that help support a range of non-profits, and ProPublica got $7 from every $22 t-shirt…
Norris Church Mailer and the Importance of Newspapers
I was online all morning yesterday and didn’t get to open the paper version of the New York Times till early afternoon. I was flipping past the obituary pages because I’d already seen the story about the death of Playboy-Bunny-turned-cop-turned-murderer-turned-fugitive Laurie “Bambi” Bembenek all over the web, but then I glimpsed another story made me…
Knickers Are the Next New Thing
A gorgeous friend who is aware of my “Never is the next new thing™” fashion philosophy asked me last week what the next new thing would be. I said that I didn’t know because I didn’t see anything that would provoke the “I would NEVER wear that!” reaction that has predicted fashion trends including skinny…
Outfit Post: Some Things Old, Some Things Blue
It took me nearly two years, but I finally wore the white lace Dolce & Gabbana coat that I bought from Trudie Styler (aka Mrs. Sting) thanks to some styling tips from gorgeous blogger/designer Stacy Lomman of taffetadarlings. In fact, I wore the coat two ways in one day. For our friends’ anniversary party at…
Updated Auction News
I thought glamorous WendyB client Melissa‘s $1200 bid on my fabulous auction of jewelry and immortality might rattle gorgeous blogger Deja Pseu, but I was wrong. DP boldly struck back with a $1500 bid! That’s right! The going bid for my auction to raise funds for Stephanie (NieNie) and Christian Nielson’s medical expenses is now…
Never Say Never
I’m amused that people are so aghast over Katie Holmes’ recent outings in rolled-up jeans. Embed from Getty Images We all said we would never wear skinny, bell-bottom, high-waisted or acid-washed jeans again, and those have all made a comeback. Basically, never is the next new thing. So why not try roll-ups? Katie’s pair looks…
Nothing to See Here, Heather. Move Along.
Jack Nicholson had a great line in the movie As Good As It Gets: “Sell crazy someplace else, we’re all stocked up here.” That was my reaction to reading that professional psychopath Heather Mills is looking for real estate in New York. You know, Heather, Rudy Giuliani violated a lot of people’s rights to make…
2023 in Review: What Wendy Wore, Part 1
I’ve always been interested in the story-telling aspect of fashion — on the societal level as well as the personal one. As I debated whether or not to write one of my old-school “What Wendy Wore” year-in-review posts in the midst of what’s happening in the world, I realized that a lot of what I…
