My Latex Obsession

September 13, 2007 by WendyB

Leggings from The Row, via Sleep Deprivation and Stories of My Bullshit Youth I’m back in latex-blogging mode, thanks to gorgeous blogger Jen, who pointed out these latex-looking leggings from The Row. According to Paper Magazine, they’re actually stretch leather. I’m not particular about the material; it’s just the look I like. When Kate Moss…

If Messed-Up Britney Makes You Happy…

September 12, 2007 by WendyB

… maybe you’re a bit messed up too. So says this this Salon article (via Jezebel) on Britney Spears’s catastrophe at the VMAs. I appreciated Salon writer Rebecca Traister‘s piece in general, but particularly her comment on the “fat” criticism of Britney. I think that all the heat she’s gotten on her weight has been…

I’m Feline Grey This Fall

September 12, 2007 by WendyB

Even cats are feeling grey for fall! I like how the other cat opted for a complementary orange-brown. Very chic! Only one thing could improve this beautiful photo…a lolcats caption! On second thought, orange-brown cat appears to be soundly asleep, while grey cat is keeping one eye open. That makes sense. You don’t get to…

Lucy Liu Wore Evan’s Skirt!

September 12, 2007 by WendyB

Well, not his own personal skirt. I mean, I’ve never seen my friend Evan Ross prancing around in that skirt, but if he did, who am I to judge? “Wear What You Want” is my motto and if you are a man who wants to wear a skirt, more power to you. Anyway, since seeing…

I Have to Tear Myself Away From the Computer…

September 11, 2007 by WendyB

because watching gold prices is killing me! It’s now around $713 an ounce. I feel like we’re going to crash through last year’s high this week. Save me, Jebus!

September 11, Continued

September 11, 2007 by WendyB

I wasn’t going to share this picture due to embarrassment, but plenty of my co-workers saw it at the time and it IS funny. I’m one of those people who tries to find something to laugh at even in dark times. It might be hysterical and inappropriate laughter, but still. When we went back to…

September 11 Is Here Again

September 11, 2007 by WendyB

It’s hard to believe it’s been six years. In 2001, both my husband and I worked across from the World Trade Center at the World Financial Center (we were at different companies though). My company had office space in both the WTC and the WFC, and one employee was killed in the Trade Center that…

Marc Jacobs Made Anna Run for It!

September 10, 2007 by WendyB

Marc Jacobs started his show over two hours late. At least this time there was ventilation, so I didn’t sweat all over my Ossie Clark dress. Due to camera problems, I missed a good shot of Posh Beckham aka Victoria Spice. Fortunately, fashion reporter Cheryl Tan was willing to do her best Posh imitation. Cheryl,…
