Last night, my husband told a cab driver to stop “in the middle of the next blog, um, block!” We’ve got blogs on the brain, especially me, because I’m knee-deep in unanswered memes. I better get moving. Wardrobe Oxygen<\/a> tagged me with this one, as did Diana of So Fash’On<\/a> a while ago.<\/p>\n

1. What is the Story Behind the Name of Your Blog?<\/span><\/span><\/span>
I’m Wendy Brandes. I design jewelry. Hence, Wendy Brandes Jewelry. As I noted recently<\/a>, I may not have done a spectacular job of promoting the jewelry<\/a>, but at least latex leggings<\/a> are getting the attention they deserve. Actually, the latex might be helping because every day about 20 people click to enlarge a picture of me in shiny leggings only to be deviously transported to my jewelry site instead. I added “Wear What You Want” to the header because I am irritated by self-appointed “Fashion Police” who persecute anyone who shows a little creativity. Obviously, “Wear What You Want” doesn’t apply to every situation. You shouldn’t wear a boob belt dress <\/a>to a funeral. Nor should you wear a skin-tight, backless white halter dress to your first day of work as an intern at CNN. I didn’t do that! Someone else did. I’m still traumatized ten years later. “Wear What You Want” applies to your “you” time: casual time, fun time, party time, private time.<\/p>\n

2. Why Did You Start Blogging in the First Place?<\/span><\/span><\/span>
I could answer this question in many different ways. It was to promote my business. Because I had an interesting encounter with Britney Spears<\/a>. To talk about queens<\/a>. Because Agathe<\/a> and Carol<\/a> encouraged me to. Because it’s a good way to avoid real work while pretending I’m doing something constructive. To convince people to kneel before Wendy Brandes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. What is Your Best Blogging Experience? Your Worst?<\/span><\/span><\/span>
Getting to “meet” all you gorgeous bitches is the best. Realizing I’d signed up for an unpaid yet time-consuming job is the worst. Or maybe comment spam is the worst. Hmm.

4. What Do You Think Will Happen to Your Blog in 2008?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
It will provide 100% of the recommended daily allowance of essential vitamins and minerals. And more Coco<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
