Flashback Friday: Konstantin and Ossie

February 22, 2019 by WendyB

Have you watched Killing Eve yet? That’s the BBC show on Hulu that Sandra Oh has been winning awards for recently. Oh stars as Eve Polastri, an intelligence officer who becomes obsessed with stopping a sociopathic assassin known as Villanelle (Jodie Comer). I came to the show a little late — urged on by my…

The Week in Review

June 4, 2017 by WendyB

In case you missed it, here’s what was on the blog this week. Monday, May 29: Obama read 10 letters from ordinary Americans every day. He did it to understand citizens’ concerns.  Now, Hillary Clinton’s staff is busy answering each of the 100,000 messages she’s received since the election. Can you imagine Trump doing anything…

10 Years Ago: Wearing Ossie Clark for Marc Jacobs

September 12, 2016 by WendyB

Ten years ago tonight, I went to Marc Jacobs’s Spring 2007 runway show with MrB. As was my habit, I wore one of my vintage Ossie Clark dresses to Marc’s show. The late New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham always attended the Marc Jacobs show, and Bill appreciated a good Ossie. Even if Bill didn’t…

eBay Booty and Pauline Boty

August 3, 2009 by WendyB

Gorgeous blogger and vintage-clothing purveyor Miss Peelpants (aka Liz) alerted me to an Ossie Clark dress on eBay (aka, as Liz Tweeted, “the Bay of E”) that had the same Celia Birtwell print as an Ossie I recently bought from Miss Peelpants herself. There was a different color scheme though, so if even if you…

London, Day 2: More Naughty Art

July 8, 2009 by WendyB

I first went to London when I was 15. During that trip, I bleached my bangs blonde and got my left ear pierced for a second time. When I arrived home, my mother was very upset about these things. Good thing I didn’t tell her that I smooched a 20-something guy during the whole flight…

Meet Marilyn and, Maybe, Me

June 30, 2009 by WendyB

Last week, I wrote about a lovely lady who was auctioning off the Ossie Clark dress she wore at her 1973 wedding. I was delighted when the seller — Marilyn — replied to my post! I especially enjoyed her description of the Ossie-employed friend who appears with her in this picture. Marilyn wrote, “My BFF…

The eBay Pick of the Day Is Ossie

June 24, 2009 by WendyB

I found an amazing vintage Ossie Clark dress on eBay. Well, it’s really the dress’s background story that I loved, though the dress is great too! The seller (who has 100% positive feedback) says she bought the dress from the Quorum boutique and wore it on her wedding day in 1973. She says, “My best…
