Sexism and the City

June 1, 2008 by WendyB

For 20 years, I’ve been fascinated by Patrick Kelly, the designer of my controversial leopard-print dress. Kelly designed his own label from 1985 to 1989. He died of AIDS on New Year’s Day in 1990 at the age of 35. (At the time, the death was attributed to bone marrow disease and a brain tumor,…

May 27, 2008 by WendyB

Even when traveling, we never leave work behind. ENC caught MrB and me doing the email thing at the San Diego Zoo yesterday. In our defense, we were waiting for her to emerge from the restroom.
