Obsessions. Some Old, Some New.

October 2, 2007 by WendyB

1. Actor Sam Waterston‘s eyebrows. I think the long-time Law & Order cast member deserves three Emmys: one for him and one for each eyebrow. I always feel like the brows are acting out little plots of their own. No other eyebrows are so special. Admittedly, some people would vote for Martin Scorsese‘s. While I’m…

Pining for Saipan

October 2, 2007 by WendyB

One of my custom-made rings is living in Saipan with my gorgeous client Deb. She sent me this photo of the ring contemplating the sunset. Deb originally moved to Saipan with her ex-parrot, Rodney. Rodney flew away to become king of the local birds, and now Deb has a handsome human named Brad to keep…

Technorati Is Sorry. So Very, Very Sorry.

September 30, 2007 by WendyB

Sorry :~( This is the third time since I started blogging in July that I’ve gotten that irritating “sorry” message with sad face from Technorati. Is my blog really “under review”? Are latex leggings and Anne Boleyn controversial? Perhaps my desire for fish feet is in such bad taste that I’ve been singled out for…

Another Kova & T Latex Leggings Source

September 30, 2007 by WendyB

Starting Oct. 5, the coveted Kova & T leggings will be available from Sway & Cake. Sway & Cake describes them as having a “latex-like finish,” while Intuition’s site simply calls them “latex.” Hmm. Well, all I really care about is that they’re black and shiny. Can’t get enough latex? Parallel Entity found shiny leggings…

Holy Vintage, Batman!

September 29, 2007 by WendyB

Want to be a caped crusader like Susie Bubble? FashionDig has a few good-looking vintage capes. This elegant fringed cape is $65. The cute blue one ($45) was made for upscale department store Bonwit Teller. More fringe. This one is $150. Strange. It is from the same store and looks identical to the one in…

The Ones That Got Away

September 29, 2007 by WendyB

It seems fish feet are everywhere, yet I cannot procure the fish feet of my dreams. The Manolo discovered these fish flip-flops (fish-flops?) via Unknown Highway. Maybe they’d be better as high-heel fish-flops My search for the Christian Louboutin fish shoes continues. Behind Big Glasses is trying to divert me with elephant feet. Nice try,…

Killer Comedy, Coat and Queen

September 28, 2007 by WendyB

Recently, I was lucky enough to catch part of 9 to 5 on TV. You must see this kick-ass feminist comedy about three assistants (Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, and Dolly Parton) who take revenge on their chauvinist boss (Dabney Coleman). Dolly looks unbelievable in her clingy knit dresses and baby blue trench coat. I was…

Consolation Prize

September 28, 2007 by WendyB

My obsession: the beauteous Christian Louboutin Pesce shoes. During my never-ending quest for fish feet, I found a young-adult book about a boy who wants to be a ballet dancer. I also found a female science blogger (you go, girl!). But alas, no fish shoes in my size. My gorgeous sister, Terri Berry, came up…
