Thank you to all my gorgeous customers and helpers* who made last night’s trunk show at Pink Elephant<\/a> so wonderful. No thanks to T-Bags, the makers of a dress that I wore because I liked the colors, not realizing it made me look 10 months pregnant. I thought I only looked six months pregnant in it, so the pictures were a shock. (Especially since I am NO MONTHS pregnant.) As gorgeous blogger Diabolina<\/a> would say: “F.”<\/p>\n

Big, big, BIG thanks to my fellow jewelry designer Tina Tang<\/a>, who came, stood behind my tables for hours and sold her heart out on my behalf. So much for Helen Mirren’s notion<\/a> that all women are jealous of each other! Check out Tina’s silver jewelry here<\/a>. Her gold site is here<\/a>. I love the lips charm<\/a>, but you all should inquire about her awesome snake ring in silver.<\/p>\n

Thanks to gorgeous and charming actress Leven Rambin<\/a> of TV’s Sarah Connor Chronicles<\/a> for attending.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Wendy and Leven<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a>I pointed a few pieces out to her.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

I hope Leven enjoys her Pomegranate Peace Sign Necklace<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Another lovely lady who joined us was Jaslene Gonzalez<\/a>, the winner of America’s Next Top Model Season 8.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Notice that she bravely smiles with her eyes despite the fashion faux pas next to her.Tyra would be proud! Jaslene is modeling my Cleopatra Earrings<\/a> and Cleves Swan Ring<\/a>. Swans are Jaslene’s personal symbol, as she is indeed very swan-like, so I hope she gets many years of enjoyment out of the Cleves Ring she wore home.<\/p>\n

Here’s another picture of her modeling my new blue topaz and diamond earrings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Stunning!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

It was also a thrill to meet gorgeous blogger Pamela of Market Publique.<\/a><\/p>\n

If you didn’t get to come to the show and you’re interested in a piece, just email me at wbjewelry at hotmail dot com and I will give you the trunk show price. Remember, the show was a fundraiser for the Young Survival Coalition for breast cancer survivors, so please consider making a donation directly. Check out their website<\/a>. While I’m feeling so charitable, you can also email me if you want the T-Bags dress. I will clean it and send it to you FOR FREE (I’m serious) as long as you post a picture of yourself in it! First come, first served. I’m sure it will look good on someone who is not me. A svelte, trained professional like Jaslene could totally rock it.<\/p>\n

*Helpers included GeorgeB, BarbaraB, MrB, the irreplaceable Shawn Love, Kevin, Kelly, Nathana, Bob, Caroline, Kate, Valerie, Chloe, Timothy of Pink Elephant<\/a>, Michele of VINO Italian Wines & Spirits<\/a> (I recommend the sparkling red!), Hadasah and Laurell.<\/p>\n

UPDATED TO ADD: The dress is going to gorgeous blogger Sharon Rose<\/a>. I look forward to seeing it look fabulous on her. <\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
