Booked and Tagged

December 20, 2008 by WendyB

Quite some time ago, Sharon Rose told me I must “open the nearest book to page 46, write out the fifth sentence on that page, and also the next two to five sentences.” I like the vagueness of the “two to five” thing. It’s like the originator of the tag was into it at first…

December 18, 2008 by WendyB

The “avant-garde” originally referred to soldiers who scouted the lay of the land ahead of the rest of a large military force. The term was later applied to artists and thinkers who were considered ahead of the pack. And that factoid was just a fancy way for me to point out that Browns has a…

The Great Pink Hype

December 18, 2008 by WendyB

Guess what! Daddy-funded, 16-year-old fashion “designer” Kira Plastinina will close most of her 12 U.S. stores due to poor demand and the craptastic economy. Now can I stop hearing about her “talent”? An obsession with pink is not “talent.” Kthxbai. UPDATED TO ADD: A few words from Shophound.

I Blame the Ladies

December 16, 2008 by WendyB

I went out with a bunch of L.A.-based bloggers and I am a little tipsy. I meant to name these new earrings tonight but now I can’t come up with anything. What do you think?

Looks Can Be Deceiving

December 13, 2008 by WendyB

Jewelry photos are strange. All the small pieces look big … and all the big pieces look small. From this picture, you might think my new Wildflower Earrings were harmless little studs, but I assure you that they are actually big, bold, kickass earrings. I bet you didn’t know that flowers could kick ass. Well,…
