More Liza Minnelli

October 20, 2012 by WendyB

Recently, I admired a 1973 photo of Liza Minnelli posted by gorgeous blogger Liz of Vintage-a-Peel. I’m equally impressed by Liza’s 1989 British Vogue cover, shared by The Very Simon G (with help from Fashionista Barbie). Silver leather fringe … the ’80s were so good!

Throwback Thursday: Looking Like Liza

April 7, 2022 by WendyB

Liza Minnelli’s appearance at the Oscars last month reminded me that I have a personal “Never Is the Next New Thing™” situation to report. I usually apply “Never Is the Next New Thing™” to fashion trends, having long observed that the most provocative/grating/startling looks — the ones that make you say, “I would NEVER wear…

Throwback Thursday: The Man, the Dog, and Liza

June 18, 2020 by WendyB

I’ve been away from this blog for 2 1/2 weeks — the longest I’ve gone without posting since I started on Blogger in July 2007. If you’ve visited me here at least a few times since November 2016, you can probably guess what I’ve been up to. I’ll get into the ultra-serious stuff in the…

Another Interesting Sighting in Los Angeles

March 4, 2013 by WendyB

I almost forgot to report that Sam Waterston wasn’t the only interesting person I spotted in my hotel in Los Angeles last week.  The first night we were there, MrB and I went to get a drink at the bar. I was excited to see a large white dog snoozing on the floor by a…

What Wendy Wore: Black Halo Five-Peat

May 29, 2012 by WendyB

Like Marcel the Shell’s sister Marissa, I’m traveling. While packing for the trip, I thought I might need to wear something besides a black t-shirt, so I grabbed my disco-y Black Halo top. During the 36 hours I spent in Los Angeles — we made a pit stop there to visit MrB’s grandsons — I…

In case you’re new to this blog and haven’t read the TEN MILLION posts I’ve done on this topic … guess what?! My Cleopatra earrings are worn by Samantha (Kim Cattrall) in Sex and the City 2! I wanted to see the movie on opening night. At first, I thought MrB and I would have…

Having a Wank

January 3, 2009 by WendyB

I took guitar lessons for eight years. I didn’t become proficient because I never practiced. I would get out my candy-apple red Fender Strat exactly once a week when I trudged the ten blocks to see Ed, my good-natured guitar teacher. I kept this up until I left the corporate world and started working for…

Ossie Clark in Cabaret

May 17, 2008 by WendyB

Last night, I watched one of my favorite movies, Cabaret, for the first time in years. I was thrilled to realize that Liza Minnelli was wearing the blouse version of an Ossie Clark dress that I own. Liza wearing Ossie in Cabaret My Ossie dress I still love the choreography for “Mein Herr.” Mein Herr

My Best Dressed at the 2022 Oscars Is …

March 28, 2022 by WendyB

Well, this year’s Oscars were kind of … a lot. Early on, I was checking out the red-carpet fashion and wondering if I even had the energy to bestow my prestigious Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award this year. On one hand, we had Megan Thee Stallion looking like a goddess. On the other hand, I…
