No Beef Chimichanga for Paul McCartney

November 22, 2008 by WendyB

I still haven’t recovered from the Times of London’s chimichanga-flashing interview of date-rape-apologist Helen Mirren, but I did enjoy this fully-clothed interview the paper conducted with my almost-husband, Paul McCartney. I do think Paul (and everyone else) should stop worrying about fools who still gripe about who broke up the Beatles. Many of us have…

Giggity Giggity GigaPan

November 20, 2008 by WendyB

Worried you’re not wasting enough time online? I’ve got the solution. GigaPan is a website where people share extremely hi-res (gigapixel!) panoramic photos. You can see people’s photos from all over the world. It’s the gigapixel aspect that makes this more exciting than Flickr and other photo-sharing sites. For example, click here to see GeorgeB’s…

Shoe Hopes Dashed

November 20, 2008 by WendyB

I was excited to get the much-criticized YSL Trooper Pumps when I saw they were on sale. But then I saw they were in whole sizes only. WTF? I’m usually a 36.5, so a 36 or a 37 just won’t do. This was a problem for me when I finally found my dream Doc Martens…

Trunk Show Thanks

November 19, 2008 by WendyB

Thank you to all my gorgeous customers and helpers* who made last night’s trunk show at Pink Elephant so wonderful. No thanks to T-Bags, the makers of a dress that I wore because I liked the colors, not realizing it made me look 10 months pregnant. I thought I only looked six months pregnant in…

Trunk Show Tonight

November 19, 2008 by WendyB

I’m debuting some new jewelry at the trunk show tonight. One of my personal favorites is the Siobhan Ring. This ring was inspired by a story that my friend Siobhan (pronounced “shi-vawn,” not “cee-oh-bahn”) told me about her mother. Back in the day, Mum collected old gold wedding bands and wore all of them stacked…

Blending In

November 18, 2008 by WendyB

Gorgeous blogger Jill from Trend de la Creme is too good to be true. Yesterday, when I speculated that a dress I saw on eBay MUST match a work of art, she came through with multiple suggestions. Today, she topped that by Photoshopping me and the dress into the art. “Where’s WendyB?” Clearly, if I…

Dame Is Two Letters Away From Dumb

November 18, 2008 by WendyB

When my former dream client, actress Helen Mirren, said some shizz about date rape to GQ earlier this year, I didn’t say anything because I never read the original article (of course, neither did the majority of the people who were crapping their pants about it). From what I read about the article, it seemed…

Wish List

November 17, 2008 by WendyB

My birthday is coming up in December. I’m sure many of you are reacting to that news by thinking, “I only have $15,000 to spend on Wendy’s birthday present. What in the world will I get her?” Not to worry. I would be thrilled to get a needlepoint pillow by Brigid Berlin, and what do…

Camouflage on eBay

November 17, 2008 by WendyB

I would like to wear this dress to a modern art museum and attempt to blend in with a painting. Maybe Jill at Trend de la Creme can find the right painting for me. The shapes remind me of this Picasso but the color scheme is wrong. UPDATED TO ADD: Jill came through for me,…
