Balmain for Eight Crazy Nights

June 4, 2009 by WendyB

When I first glimpsed this studded Balmain tank top in Bergdorf Goodman, I thought it had a menorah on it.

Furtive cell phone photo

Now I can’t get this Adam Sandler song out of my head.

That song is really very educational. I like that David Lee Roth is first on Sandler’s list of menorah-lighting Jews. Many years ago, I had a fun night out on the town with Diamond Dave after meeting him at a strip club. I wasn’t working there, fools! My friend Dave (another Dave) and I were there getting lap dances. Duh! Anyway, Roth was very smart and funny. I’d hang out with him in a topless joint any time. Call me, Diamond Dave!

    it kind of looks like ribs too, I hate when embellishments only cover one part and dont continue. the worst of example being flapper dresses that only have the tassles in the front half of the dress! i dont see the point of this other than being an expensive embellished graphic top.

    Boy, Balmain is just the designer du jour now? everyone loves the brand… i do like the top though. Does it cost an arm and a leg?

    It does look like a menorah! Or glittery ribs, like Belette mentioned. Brings new meaning to sticks-to-your-ribs! (Could be a new tagline for WB diamonds?)

    Of course you have hung out with Diamond Dave. That is what Wendy B does, bitches!

    Okay, I have been trying to hold this in and it's been too frickin' hot to wear it, but I found a cashmere cardigan…and the label is Wendy B! As soon as it gets cooler I promise to wear it and I will dedicate the post to you as one of your fervent, worshipping acolyte bitches. 🙂

    LOL! Sheila, that's fantastic.

    Fashion_Loving_Stylist, most definitely not! But I got a nice Roland Mouret dress. I think they were about the same price (before the dress went on sale) but one is a fantastic dress and the other is a man's undershirt that's been bedazzled! Basically, right?
