Lady Gaga at the Grammys

January 31, 2010 by WendyB

I was half-asleep next to a coffee-table book about the Hours of Catherine of Cleves when I realized the Grammy red carpet must be underway. I dashed to the TV and turned it on just in time to hear, “And that was Lady Gaga.” Luckily, gorgeous blogger Karen of Where Did U Get That tweeted…

Three Bloggers, Two Hats, One Ring

January 29, 2010 by WendyB

One of my jewelers has developed a passion for taking videos with his iPhone.  Here I am looking dubious about it. I’m wearing the hat gorgeous blogger Jennine got for me at Tar-Jay. I think it’s a lot better than this chicken hat that I tried on while out on the town with another gorgeous…

Stripes Gone Wild

January 28, 2010 by WendyB

UPDATED: I didn’t include the Rachel Leigh Cook anti-drug ad…

Epic Outfit Post: Electric Lady Gaga Land

January 22, 2010 by WendyB

I saw Lady Gaga at Radio City Music Hall on Thursday and she kicked so much ass that I’m traumatized … traumatized that I didn’t get tickets for a second night. What was I thinking? I should have known once wasn’t enough! I realized that about Madonna years ago and now I always buy tickets…

Roma-Ro-Ma-Ma! Gaga-Ooh-La-La!

January 22, 2010 by WendyB

Honest to God, I was a very shy child… …but that was a long time ago, little monsters. More about the Lady Gaga concert soon (that’s my souvenir t-shirt above).

Minx Manicure #3: J.Lo, Beyonce and WendyB*

January 20, 2010 by WendyB

I don’t get manicures as often as I should, considering that wearing large rings is a requirement for my business and people are always looking at my hands. I get so bored during manicures that I delay until I realize that broken-off nails of varying lengths are distracting people from the beauty of, for instance,…

The Golden Globes, Diane Kruger and Listerine

January 19, 2010 by WendyB

My favorite dress at the Golden Globes on Sunday was Diane Kruger’s ombre pink Christian Lacroix. Of course, I’m fond of ombre pink. When I first wore my gown, I excitedly emailed a photo to a friend who snarkily said, “You look beautiful in anything, of course, but that dress is a bit bridesmaid-y.” My…
