To me, the most interesting thing about tonight’s Costume Institute gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art is designer Azzedine Alaia’s pisstacular reaction to being left out of the “Model as Muse” exhibit: after fitting seven models for dresses, he asked the ladies not to wear them. As a result, Alaia fans Naomi Campbell and…
I Feel Old
I wore these Dolce & Gabbana shoes today. I’m sure I got them over five years ago. I wore them with a black James Perse dress from 2002 and a white leather Jill Stuart jacket from the ’90s. I found this movie ticket stub from 2000 in the jacket pocket. Typically, I’m out of sync…
Dinner and Drinks, Zig-Zag Edition
At dinner last night, my gorgeous friend Angela had the bartender do a customized margarita in my honor. We haven’t finalized the recipe yet, so I can’t reveal the blog-inspired name of my drink. It’s not the WendyB. Drink by AngelaTop by Francis by Christian Francis Roth Enchiladas by Papatzul
Two Jills
In February, gorgeous blogger Jill of Trend de la Creme did a funny post on the evolution of the mud flap girl. Another gorgeous blogger named Jill, who had already purchased two pairs of cufflinks from me for her lucky husband, was inspired. She emailed me to ask if I could make special mud flap…
The Matrix Is Everywhere
I went to the New York Women In Communications Matrix Awards on Monday to see MrB present an award to the lovely and talented Monica Langley of the Wall Street Journal. The awards honor “extraordinary achievements of outstanding women in the communications industry,” and they’re quite a big deal. Another one of the honorees was…
Crack Dude Thinks I’m a Slacker
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
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!
I Think Sartre Would Agree
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!
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…
Hannah Montana Wears WendyB
If you look VERY closely, you can sorta see my Victoria Buckle Ring on Miley Cyrus’s index finger. Woot!
