This Has Grrrrr-own on Me

September 8, 2008 by WendyB

I’ve gone from being amused by this kitschy Maison Martin Margiela bag to craving it. The style of my bad-ass blonde friend from 1983 must be influencing me, because you know she would have loved this bag. She probably would have hung a feathered roach clip from it. Unfortunately, a wolf bag is not something…

Melissa Goes Gamine

September 7, 2008 by WendyB

When my gorgeous client Melissa told me she had gotten a pixie haircut, I insisted she take a photo. Click to enlarge.Check out Melissa’s previous hairstyle here. I was thrilled by how glamorous she looks. Those big shades are just right with that cut. And I had to agree with her comment, “I think my…

eBay Items of Interest

September 6, 2008 by WendyB

Check out this stunning, star-trimmed trench by Viktor & Rolf. Too bad one of the stars is showing some serious fraying and the starting bid is still 410 pounds ($725.17)! I wouldn’t mind the fraying if the coat had “bargain” potential. I’ll have to keep an eye on this just to see if anyone bids….

Who Wore Short Shorts in the ’80s?

September 5, 2008 by WendyB

I’m the one in the Deep Purple t-shirt. Thanks (sorta) to my cousin Gary (the kid with bad posture) for digging up this approximately 25-year-old photo. That’s Terri Berry on the left and Gary’s father, David, in the back. Despite my awesome blonde bangs and concert tee (yes, I did go see the band!), I…

Oh. Henry.

September 5, 2008 by WendyB

I managed to fall asleep “early” tonight (before 1 a.m.). Guess who woke me up at 3 a.m. to ask me for a drink of water and a stroll? Now I can’t fall back to sleep. While I’m awake, I may as well thank gorgeous blogger Skybluepink for giving me this award. I heart you…

New Girl in Town

September 4, 2008 by WendyB

I went to hairstylist-to-the-stars Keith Carpenter today and told him I wanted to look like “the new girl in town.” What does that mean? We don’t know! Anyway, this is how I look. Not much different, I suppose. It is shorter, though.

Thursday Book Club: Inspired by Poland

September 3, 2008 by WendyB

Last week, I told you how my recent trip to Poland inspired me to read Sala’s Gift and The Lost, but I never got around to talking about the books themselves. I’ll rectify that now and, to thank you for your patience, I’ll throw in a number of bonus book suggestions as well. Sala Garncarz…

Thank You, Levi Johnston’s Penis!

September 3, 2008 by WendyB

Yesterday, this blog got its highest traffic ever thanks to people searching for the kid who sperminated Sarah Palin’s daughter. Levi Johnston, baby daddy Maybe I’ll get lucky and he’ll knock up some other chick soon. It bet he will because he has the Kevin Federline vibe. He’s totally got the magic hillbilly sperm. All…
