What Is This?

January 31, 2008 by WendyB

Eek! Is there yet another Wendy Brandes prowling around? I assure you I have nothing to do with this. Separately, it’s Thursday, yet there’s no Thursday Book Club. I’ve decided I won’t do the book club every Thursday, just on occasional Thursdays. I’m reading a lot of books simultaneously, and I’d rather take my time…

Four Years Ago This Month, and Last Night

December 5, 2007 by WendyB

The late Mr. Chubbs (a CHINESE DOG) certainly enjoyed the taste of his own nose! He looks so happy in this December 2003 photo. If you would like to make a stamp out of this picture for your holiday cards, that would be very peculiar. But don’t let the fact that I think you’re a…

People Will See Me and Cry*

November 11, 2007 by WendyB

If I get any more famous I am going to ask myself for my autograph. I won’t do it during dinner or in the doctor’s office though, because we famous people hate that shizz. No pictures! No pictures! First, the gorgeous and famous Jennine of The Coveted interviewed me for Independent Fashion Bloggers. I really…

Thursday Book Club: Anne of Cleves

October 24, 2007 by WendyB

I am going to prove to you that Anne of Cleves was a damn genius. Anne was the fourth wife of Henry VIII, or Henry teh 8, as we’ve come to know him. Did you know that in the ’60s, the English group Herman’s Hermits had a hit song called, “I’m Henry the 8th, I…

Why Does Buyer’s Guilt Focus on Fashion?

October 21, 2007 by WendyB

The short answer: sexism, my friends! If you have very little patience or time, you can stop here. Otherwise, you may continue. The long, meandering answer starts momentarily. If you would like to use the restroom, you might want to do it now. I’ll wait. Take your time. Okay! Welcome back! As I’ve read more…

He’s Ba-a-a-ck! Again!

September 22, 2007 by WendyB

Designer Todd Oldham has a new fashion project: creative director for Old Navy. Oldham’s been doing all kinds of things for years, ranging from costume design to floral design to home furnishings design. But whenever I see his name, I get nostalgic for his supermodel-filled runway shows in the ’90s. I feel the same nostalgia…

The Late Marc Jacobs

September 17, 2007 by WendyB

Run, tiny Marc Jacobs, run! The angry villagers are coming with their torches and pitchforks! Yes, that’s him on the left. Last week, I was too outraged by Marc Jacobs’s outrage at our outrage to post about it. Confused? The Marc Jacobs show last Monday started two hours late. Word had gotten out that the…
