When I introduced my Genie in a Bottle cufflinks last month, I said I would wait for professional pictures to show you the 18K gold genie inside the silver bottle. I decided can’t stand waiting, so here’s a snapshot I took of the necklace version of this design. She’ll grant you three wishes.Genie in a…
WendyB in Crain’s New York
I was delighted to be mentioned in an article in Crain’s New York last month. Surprised too, because I found out only after a charming customer called to order the necklace that was featured. I think the customer was surprised to be talking directly to a surprised designer. I hope his gorgeous wife was surprised…
Bill Cunningham Loves a Parade
I saw New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham aiming his camera at the St. Patrick’s Day parade-goers in midtown yesterday. Hopefully he was having better luck than I was, since I suddenly realized I didn’t have a memory card in my camera. The sighting was timely because I’d just read a profile of Cunningham, the…
Holiday Confusion
You know how calendars have all the important holidays printed in them? Well, my 2009 calendar is defective because today it says “St. Patrick’s Day” when it is really St. Coco’s Day. Yes, people. My idol, Coco, came into the world 30 years ago today. I resent that you just thought, “Only thirty?!” You better…

Making Up in L.A.
Stephanie Daniel, the hair/makeup artist who did my Oscar-night look, was wearing kickass boots that evening. I had to take a picture. I didn’t get a good picture of the rest of her, which is unfortunate because she’s very beautiful. I’ve worked with Stephanie many times. One thing I enjoy about her, in addition to…

Gorgeous blogger Winona of Daddy Likey created her own tag called Show Us Your Blog Spot. I usually don’t bother posting the rules for tags, but I happen to like Winona’s, so here they are: 1. Once you are tagged, post a picture of where you blog. This might mean a picture of your cozy…
A Note From an Illiterate Guest Blogger
I asked my gorgeous nephew, Sebastian Berry, to write a post for me. Unfortunately, he is illiterate and has two left feet when it comes to typing. Here’s his message: “asdfkajdgs345o8dgkjdlk;d ncdfakl adoifgjg3ra9odfB1.,jupf.cseb dv kmfgs≥lijaer;obdfjlsrv fsgeAILjheraglgdvmklcl/WRGIHGDZ;sxfjg2q-0fsj;svg;;.dfbje3p0[1qlfsgj;sflpis;fljbg;psop;adfgj.” Makes about as much sense as most stuff you read on the interwebs, actually.
