Today’s your lucky day, bitches, because there is going to be more of WendyB online to love. In addition to writing this blog, I’m going to be blogging for my designing friend Christian Francis Roth’s Francis clothing line. As you might have noticed, I’m very enthusiastic about Christian’s line and I’ve posted about it often. Meanwhile, poor Christian was going through life blogless. Imagine! BLOGLESS! The horror! I realized I was the perfect person to save him from this horrible life of bloglessness and gave myself the job. Then I bragged to him about how lucky he was to have me, gave myself the title of Commander-in-Chief of Francis, and stole all the petty cash from his desk drawer to buy myself celebratory drinks. I’m pretty sure the tears I see Christian crying are tears of joy. But if they’re not, so what? As long as I’m happy.
This is the first picture Christian and I took together.Note that I’m being normal and he is goofing around.
This is typical.
I know change is scary — well, it is for me, because I’m not well adjusted — but I promise you this won’t be too bad. On this blog, I’ll still write about my jewelry designs, fashion, royal ladies, books, dogs, Coco and shit that annoys me. I’ll also write about my other favorite fashion designers, including Zang Toi, Ossie Clark and Prada, here. And I will continue to swear a lot.
Empress Wu has always been one of my favorite royal ladies.Probably because she is the one most likely to kill a bitch.
Over at the Francis blog, my posts will be more focused on the clothing line, but I will also take you behind the scenes at the studio and for walks around the ‘hood. You’ll get to know Christian and the people who work with him. You’ll even meet their pets. Of course, you’ll get get sneak peeks of new designs and find out what inspired the clothes. And I’m planning giveaways, special sales and other events that will help you spruce up your wardrobe. There will, however, be less swearing on the new blog. Maybe. I can’t make any fucking promises. Also, my vague plan is to post “a couple of times a week.” That was my original intention for this blog, too, and I ended up posting every day for over a year. So who knows?
Christian before his runway show last September.I wish I could get my legs as smooth and hairless as his head.
If you’re on my blog roll here, you will notice that you are automatically on the Francis blog roll. I told you it was your lucky day! If you link back to Francis, you will be my new BFF. If you don’t link back to Francis, I will shake my fist at the sky and say something ominous that includes the phrase, “As God is my witness!” Keep that in mind.
I used to have a nice Gone With the Wind clip here but YouTube keeps taking it down.
If you are on neither this blog roll nor the Francis blog roll and feel like you should be because you’re a regular commenter or plan to be one, let me know by emailing me at wbjewelry at hotmail dot com.
One bit of history that makes this new online venture so appropriate is that Christian and I met through this blog. Click here to read how that came about. Then we collaborated on some awesome jewelry, which you are going to be able to buy online very soon. Everything is coming together.
I’m modeling the swear rings we designed together.We took a second picture where he’s giving y’all the finger but I can’t find that fucker.
And now for your new favorite links:
sounds like a SWEET gig! so cool for you to appoint yourself. LOL.

More Wendy is all anyone can hope for. Congratulations!
*shock* how am i not on your blog roll?? :*( please add me, ms. B, so i can sleep soundly tonight.
Femme — fixed!!!!
But when will you sleep???
TCH — NEVER!!!! Sleep is for lazy people!
Congratulations on your new "gig". May I just say, it never fails to amuse me to see potty mouthed words coming out of a pretty lady.
Well that comment made me sound like a greasy, male stalker instead of a well-balanced, heterosexual, female, awesome person. I do apologize.
Hi there-thats fantastic news, I look forward to visiting the new blog!!
In some complicated literary way I haven't resolved yet, those swear rings are the perfect metaphor for your relationship with Christian Roth. And as they're so cool, I'm just going to HAVE to check out your collab blog x
poor dear christian, blogless. Now i have seen the light, i dont think i could see light without it!
Oh hooray!

He's on my blogroll now. I used to have a CFR dress when I was in college. I wonder if my mothers still has it at home? There is a store here in El Paso that carries great lines…Agua. He would be perfect.
Congrats on the new gig, WendyB. Mr. Roth IS lucky to have WB on-board.
