Fashion Moments in France

September 2, 2008 by WendyB

As I mentioned, we took a quick trip (arrived Friday, left Monday) to St. Tropez to celebrate the marriage of our gorgeous friends Scott and Isabelle. Here I am, blowin’ in the wind in my several-years-old Versace dress, at the beautiful chateau where Scott and Isabelle hosted us. Later, that dog woke up and ate…

Levi Johnston’s Johnson

September 1, 2008 by WendyB

Levi Johnston is the teenager who knocked up Sarah Palin‘s daughter, Bristol. Levi should have kept his Levis on I hope the 60 seconds of bliss was worth all this hassle. UPDATED TO ADD: US Magazine has the obligatory quotes from his MySpace, including, “I don’t want kids” and “I’m a fuckin’ redneck…” I bet…

I’m Uberchic!

September 1, 2008 by WendyB

The lovely folks at Ask a New Yorker named me September’s “Uberchic.” It’s like being Playmate of the Month, but with more clothes and no invitation to swim with Hef in the Grotto. Ask a New Yorker used AltamiraNYC‘s photo of me — as well as several flower molestation shots. You really can ask a…

Dirty Unsexy Money

September 1, 2008 by WendyB

I paid for a recent transaction at the post office with a $50 bill. As the cheerful (kidding!) postal worker counted out my change, we both noticed some writing on one of the singles she gave me but neither of us paused to look closely. It was only after I got home that I carefully…

Tag, I’m It.

August 31, 2008 by WendyB

Fashionfillers tagged me to write six random facts about myself. Hopefully I’m not repeating anything I’ve said before. I don’t like going to the movies unless I’m convinced I’m going to see something exceptional. (We saw Man on Wire last week and it was exceptional. See it!) I’ve seen Madonna at least once during every…

Career Options

August 28, 2008 by WendyB

Today’s my lucky day. There is a “quality control technician” job opening at Cadbury. But does “organoleptic testing” mean “eating candy”? Because I could do that. Here’s the description: Provide laboratory technical support for all product preparation and production areas, with respect to the physical, chemical, and organoleptic testing of raw, packaging, and finished product….

Thursday Book Club Is a Lesson of 2 Evils

August 27, 2008 by WendyB

It’s been a while since my last Book Club post. Last month’s visit to Warsaw and Krakow made me (temporarily) set aside my medieval queens in order to read two books about Polish Jews and the Holocaust: Sala’s Gift and The Lost. I had read a lot about the Holocaust in the past in part…
