When I wrote the title of this post, something about it seemed familiar. I finally realized I was thinking of a line in The Berenstains’ B Book<\/a>: “beautiful baboon blowing bubbles.” Please note that that is NOT a comment on the appearance of any of my gorgeous blogging clients. However, it might be a sign that I should write a children’s book. Of course, if I wrote a children’s book, it would have to be something like “Everybody Curses” or “What to Expect When You’re a Goddamn Baby” or “Pippi Longstocking Will Beat Your Ass, Eloise, so Step Off, Bitch.”<\/p>\n

Anyway, as stated in the title, beautiful bloggers have been buying baubles. Meet my latest satisfied customer! Here is Oh Lady E<\/a> enjoying her silver Borgia Ring<\/a>. I like how she’s mixing it in with her other rings. I love a ring on every finger.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Those teddy bears are totally admiring her ring<\/a><\/span> <\/span><\/div>\n

I should take this opportunity to say that I am really honored whenever any of you fashionable bloggers purchase Wendy Brandes Jewelry<\/a>. I know you choose me partly because I threaten you with the Beatdown Ring<\/a>. Still, there are so many fashion items competing for your hard-earned money, some of them created by equally menacing designers. I mean, hello! Karl Lagerfeld! I bet those fingerless gloves can deliver a stinging slap. But I digress. Further thanks for being supportive\/scared into submission go out to the following gorgeous bloggers:<\/p>\n

ENC of Observationmode<\/a>, who did her Blonde Steel pose in honor of her Lotus Necklace<\/a>. She also bought a skull ring<\/a> for MrOM;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>ENC <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Susanna of Jewel Box Dreams<\/a> (seen wearing the Lotus Necklace<\/a>);<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I hope to get a picture of Susanna’s <\/span>Diana Ring<\/a> too!<\/span> <\/span><\/div>\n

My fellow Ossie-Clark fanatic Sharon;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Sharon with her Diana Ring<\/a><\/span> <\/span><\/div>\n

Mama Fasha<\/a>, seen wearing her “Y” Boleyn necklace<\/a>;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Mama Fasha<\/span> <\/span><\/div>\n

My favorite stalker, Practically Perfect in Every Way<\/a>, who has the matching Diana Ring<\/a> and Necklace<\/a>;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>PPIEW’s blogging sister Megan<\/a> modeled the set.<\/span> <\/span><\/div>\n

Whiskeymarie<\/a>, who I hope has taken her Juana Skull Necklace<\/a> out of the box;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Yep, that’s my signature.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Alice Olive<\/a>, whose Flickr account defied my effort to save the beautiful photo<\/a> she took of her Boleyn Necklace<\/a>; SkyBluePink<\/a>, who has been too shy to share a picture of her silver Squirrel Necklace<\/a>; and the extremely generous Deja Pseu<\/a>. DP, aka Susan, won the Diana Necklace in the auction I held<\/a> to raise money for blogger NieNie<\/a>, who was badly burned in a plane crash.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Yep, that’s Susan’s signature, engraved on her necklace<\/span>
<\/span><\/div>\n

Susan also won immortality thanks to my auction. I’m going to design and name a piece after her. Susan, don’t despair! I’m working on it. Really. Earrings with a green stone, for sure.<\/p>\n

I will also mention Gamutrice of The Gamut<\/a> and Stef M of Sideshow by the Seashore<\/a> who were gorgeous friends and gorgeous clients before they turned into gorgeous bloggers. I know it’s hard to believe I’ve been away from a computer long enough to make friends in the real world, but it’s true.<\/p>\n

I hope I haven’t left anyone out of this list, because I would hate to hurt anyone’s feelings. If I have left you out, it was unintentional on my part and clearly the work of the Devil. Blame him. (An aside to non-bloggers: I couldn’t possibly attempt a list of all my gorgeous non-blogging clients because even I have to sleep once in a while. But I would love it if you would do like Melissa<\/a> and send me photos of you wearing your Wendy Brandes Jewelry<\/a>, so I could write a post about you.)<\/p>\n

For any blogger who wishes to earn the title of “gorgeous client” for her\/himself, I recommend you take a look at my rapidly expanding silver collection<\/a>. Pick something out and DON’T put it in your shopping bag. Instead, email me at wbjewelry at hotmail dot com. As I’ve said, I’m having a trunk show on November 19<\/a>. If you are an out-of-town blogger, I will give you the trunk show price, but you gotta ask for it.<\/p>\n

Finally, I’m mildly amused that I’m having a trunk<\/span> show at a place called Pink Elephant<\/a>. Maybe next time I’ll do a snout show at the Spotted Pig<\/a> gastropub. <\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
