Crack Dude Thinks I’m a Slacker

April 27, 2009 by WendyB

Whenever my friendly neighborhood crack dude sees me near my apartment in the late afternoon, he says, “Worked a half-day, huh?” But who is he to criticize? Last year, he promised that he’d meet me at my office and take me to lunch. I’m still waiting for my free lunch, crack dude.

Zang Toi, Now in Cartoon Form

April 27, 2009 by WendyB

I previously mentioned that my designing friend Zang Toi made a guest appearance on The Real Housewives of New York City. Thanks to that, he’s now in cartoon form in this Real Housewives parody. I want all my friends to have cartoon alter-egos!

Stepson to WendyB, last night: “Hell is a DVD, a DVD player and ten remotes that don’t work.” We never did get to watch the movie.

Oh, the Shame!

April 22, 2009 by WendyB

Yesterday I neglected to celebrate the 500-year anniversary of the day that my dear friend, Henry VIII (also known on the internets as Henry teh 8), acceded to the English throne. Handsome! I doubt I would have remembered at all if gorgeous blogger Princess Poochie hadn’t sent me a story about one of Henry’s love…

I’ve Seen a Ghost (Tailor)

April 19, 2009 by WendyB

I’ve mentioned Jean, the proprietress of Ghost Tailor, quite a few times on this blog. I found Jean when I was desperately looking for someone to alter some sweaters for me. No one wants to alter sweaters, which baffles me. It’s not like the sweaters grow on the sheep in ready-to-wear condition. (Designer to sheep:…

Question of the Day

April 18, 2009 by WendyB

What’s the appropriate reaction when someone’s personal story is weirdly similar to a scene from a movie? Do I assume it’s a genuine case of life imitating art? Or do I give in to my urge for a small popcorn and a medium Diet Coke? It wasn’t this scene; I just like this picture.

Designer and Muse?

April 17, 2009 by WendyB

Gala Mitchell was one of designer Ossie Clark‘s favorite models. I’m not sure it’s accurate to describe her as his muse — or one of his muses — but she’s definitely striking the right pose in this great picture. Ossie Clark fits a dress on Gala Mitchell.Click to enlarge. Gala’s hair and eyebrows make her…

Acne Outlet

April 16, 2009 by WendyB

I’m loving that Acne, my favorite jeans brand, now has an online outlet. I finally broke down and got the loose-fitting Generic Girl jeans in peach. I first admired those last July. I wound up getting the style in blue, but always regretted missing the peach. No more regrets!
