Eyes on the Prizes

December 8, 2008 by WendyB

My peeps, take a moment to visit Grant Miller Media and vote for me in the Drysdale Awards. What are the Drysdale Awards, you ask?

Something I Don’t Want Is…

December 6, 2008 by WendyB

…a giant gummy bear on a stick. I don’t care if it is nearly 90 times larger than the average gummy bear. Do not want.

Just Call It Beige

December 5, 2008 by WendyB

Couture Carrie’s post here reminded me of an issue that has amused me for a while. How did we — at this time when so much we say better be politically correct or else — start calling beige clothes or shoes “nude”? Obviously, “nude” sounds sexier than “beige,” but since not all people are beige…

All I Want for Christmas Is Hot Coco

December 5, 2008 by WendyB

I don’t know how anyone picked out just 101 sexiest Coco looks for this magazine, when every second of Coco’s life is sexier than the last. There would be so much to choose from! It should be “10 million sexiest looks.”

Be Like WendyB in a Hairy Purple Jacket

December 5, 2008 by WendyB

For those of you who have thought, “If only I had a hairy purple jacket, I could be more like WendyB,” Miu Miu’s fringed tartan peacoat is reduced to $1,036 from $1,480 on Net-a-Porter. For inspiration, here I am, wearing my hairy purple jacket by Versace, with BarbaraB in 2007. UPDATED TO ADD: When I…

Feel Like an Egyptian Queen, For Less

December 4, 2008 by WendyB

Crazy-ass psychic Miss Cleo and her psychic friends see some earrings in your future. That’s Miss Cleo but don’t call that number. Luckily for you, a fan of my gold-and-diamond, shoulder-brushing Cleopatra Earrings asked me to make a more affordable version. The original Cleopatra Earrings © Wendy Brandes 2007-2009 So I did! They’re so new…

I Don’t Want Your Charity

December 3, 2008 by WendyB

I’m putting my foot down. I’m tired of people giving to a charity in someone else’s name in lieu of a holiday gift. It’s so damn smug, like we benighted souls would never think of giving if these saints didn’t light the way with their powerful sunbeams of goodness. Naturally, these gifts are never to…

Sneak Preview of New Locket Design

December 2, 2008 by WendyB

This isn’t a proper introduction for my new Hatshepsut Locket, but I can’t resist sharing some amateur pictures of my latest piece. This version is in sterling silver, hanging on a black satin cord. Here’s how the necklace looks against my amazing bosom. Please, Pistols, don’t get overexcited by this. To open the locket, you…
