Mr. So Sunshine
My gorgeous father, GeorgeB, wants to tell you about his charming friend Mike, who not only voted for me in the Weblog Awards all the way from China, but also said that my smile is “so sunshine.” In a comment left on a previous post, GeorgeB said: “I met Mike on a cruise down the…

Somewhere, a Peacock Curses Me
As you saw in my previous post, I packed up my feathery shawl and went to D.C. for the evening to attend an inaugural party thrown by The Root. The green gown is by my designing friend Zang Toi. He made two peacock accessories to go with it: the shawl and a fan. I wore…
Have Shawl, Will Travel

Saks on Sale
Saks is still having its crazy sale. If you buy something, they might also throw in some store fixtures and a few sales associates. The website is pretty picked over but if you want to do your own take on the WendyB/Gwen Stefani striped, one-sleeved look, you could check out this black and silver dress…
Gorgeous Bloggers Wear WendyB
I’m pretty worn out from my intense campaign for Best Fashion Blog. Dang! I’m a weakling. Meanwhile, Obama endured an endless presidential campaign, only to jump immediately into one of the hardest jobs in the world. (The No. 1 hardest job belongs to the person who has to do the body makeup for Marc Jacobs’s…
