I’m amazed that gorgeous blogger Vyque of Fasshonaburu got a picture of us at the Independent Fashion Bloggers Dress Up Soiree in which I’m smiling but not showing teeth. I’m sure I haven’t taken a picture like that in 20 years. Hmmm. My memory is going. Have I mentioned that Independent Fashion Bloggers is having…
Tavi’s WendyB Polyvore Sets
I don’t know how I persuaded petite fashion dynamo Tavi of Style Rookie to use my jewelry in two beautiful Polyvore sets quite some time ago. An even bigger mystery is why I never shared them here. Better late than never, I always say, especially when I’m very late. Here they are. wendy b! by…
Molly Will Be Missed
In this week’s post about my 2001 wedding, I didn’t mention my two canine guests, though I’d previously done so. I’m sad to tell you that the second of the two dog participants has gone to the great doggy bed in the sky. My Pekingese, Mr. Chubbs, died in 2006. This Wednesday, my parents’ Pekingese,…
Francis Graffiti Dress Plus Tights
I had a fabulous time tonight with my gorgeous friends Shari and Ashley at Christian Francis Roth‘s studio. But I consumed so much Champagne that I totally forgot to take pictures, even though the ladies looked awesome in his clothes! I hope they will humor me by sending me some photos of their purchases. In…
Your Wedding Wish Is My Command. Now Vote!
Last week, I mentioned that at my 2001 wedding, I changed out of my Richard Tyler wedding gown and into a custom-made white leather halter top and hip-huggers. A few of you requested pictures. Here they are. I thought I was being pretty edgy with the leather at the time, but the gown is so…

Smile and the World Smiles With You
I don’t know why I love this Jean-Charles de Castelbajac sweater, but I do. Gorgeous blogger ENC of Observationmode says, “Now you need to get it, put it on, then spill the filling from a raspberry jelly-filled donut down the front so it will look like it was shot in the head.” That would be…
I Picked Up a Much Younger Man…
…And he was heavy lifting! Also kind of wriggly. When I see Sebastian’s name written down, I think of a song called Sebastiane by the Sex Gang Children. I used to listen to it on full blast in college whenever I was angry. My boyfriend lived across the hall from me in the dorm and…
eBay Pick of the Day
I’m mad about this leather jacket by Jean Claude Jitrois. It’s got everything: unusual colors, an asymmetrical zipper, a belt, lacing on the sides and a big ol’ horse (with jockey) on the front. Click here to see all the pictures on eBay. If you bid, don’t forget to snipe! The jacket reminds me of…
“I Saw It in the Window and I Just Couldn’t Resist It”
Now that my Patrick Kelly dress — previously declared by WWD to be a fashion disaster — went over so well at the IFB Dress-Up Soiree, I feel emboldened to pursue the gown of my dreams. And that, my friends, is the drapery dress, complete with curtain rods, worn by Carol Burnett in her role…
