Somewhere, a Peacock Curses Me
As you saw in my previous post, I packed up my feathery shawl and went to D.C. for the evening to attend an inaugural party thrown by The Root. The green gown is by my designing friend Zang Toi. He made two peacock accessories to go with it: the shawl and a fan. I wore…
Have Shawl, Will Travel
I’m on my way to D.C. for the evening. I’m bringing this with me. Beaded and befeathered shawl by Zang Toi
Jack and Rack
A great thing about coming in third in the 2008 Weblog Award’s Best Fashion Blog category is that I didn’t have to fulfill my promise to celebrate a first-place finish with one-armed push-ups a la 73-year-old Jack Palance on Oscar night. I’ve attempted a one-armed push-up. I’m pretty sure my effort failed, though the concussion…
WendyB in W Magazine
Quick! Buy a copy of the Brad Pitt issue of W Magazine. Skip Brad. Go directly to page 137. Behold my name in the corner! If you look closely at the model’s hand, you’ll catch a glimpse of my one-of-a-kind onyx skull ring. Click to enlarge Woot!
Third Place Is as Good as Winning
My peeps, I didn’t win, but I am feeling very good about coming in third in the Best Fashion Blog category in the 2008 Weblog Awards (I guess it’s as official as it’s going to be at this point). I am just a little personal blog, while the winner and the runner-up are big, high-traffic…

The website is pretty picked over but if you want to do your own take on the WendyB/Gwen Stefani striped, one-sleeved look, you could check out this black and silver dress…
Gorgeous Bloggers Wear WendyB
I’m pretty worn out from my intense campaign for Best Fashion Blog. Dang! I’m a weakling. Meanwhile, Obama endured an endless presidential campaign, only to jump immediately into one of the hardest jobs in the world. (The No. 1 hardest job belongs to the person who has to do the body makeup for Marc Jacobs’s…
Voting and Tweeting
This is your last day to vote for me as Best Fashion Blog of 2008. I would be delighted to come in third, but if you happen to have the 10,000 friends required to help me take the lead, you should send that mass email immediately. Polls close at 5 PM ET. That means you…
Asked and Answered Again
Don’t forget to keep voting for me for Best Fashion Blogger of 2008! I won’t be able to miraculously generate thousands of votes in a couple of hours (hmmm) but I’d like to still have a strong showing. In my second campaign speech, I offered to answer any questions you had. I answered the first…
