Coachella 2018, Day 2: Lion Babe, Cardi B, Eminem

April 24, 2018 by WendyB

I could have squeezed my full Coachella 2018 story into yesterday’s post, but I wanted to give some extra love to Lion Babe, which was the first act I saw on Sunday. Lion Babe is a duo consisting of singer Jillian Hervey (Vanessa Williams’s daughter!) and producer Lucas Goodman, but during a live performance it’s…

Coachella 2018, Day 1: A “Short” Wait for Beyoncé

April 23, 2018 by WendyB

Good news! As you could tell from yesterday’s post, I survived my third Coachella … and, once again, I did it without using alcohol, drugs, or face paint. It’s possible, so don’t believe anyone who tells you otherwise. My Day 1 was actually Day 2 of the festival’s first weekend. I missed Friday, when The…

The Waiting Is the Hardest Part of Coachella

April 22, 2018 by WendyB

My thoughts and prayers go out to the people currently nearing the end of their long wait at the front-stage barricades during Coachella’s second weekend. Last Sunday, I spent over 12 hours doing that — with no choice but to stand for about 10 of those hours — so I could be front row for…

What Wendy Wore: Iceland Exploration

January 5, 2018 by WendyB

As I mentioned in this post, I spent New Year’s in Reykjavik, Iceland, with friends. I normally celebrate my birthday with family on the actual day (December 23) and then have a combined New Year’s Eve/birthday celebration with friends. However, this year — as you may recall — was a big birthday. I started contemplating…

Happy Halloween From Bananarama

October 31, 2016 by WendyB

If my Halloween costumes continue to be predictors of future trends, prepare yourself for the comeback of massively teased hair. I’ve always loved ’80s pop trio Bananarama … Embed from Getty Images … so I recruited my gorgeous friends Kara and Stacy to dress up as the group for an early Halloween celebration on Saturday….

Coachella 2016: My Music Highlights

April 26, 2016 by WendyB

From the media coverage, you might think that everyone who goes to the Coachella music festival in Indio, Calif., cares more about fashion than music. (Vanessa Friedman of the New York Times — praising the way clothes serve the message in Beyonce’s new visual album Lemonade — writes, “It is the anti-Coachella: the opposite of…

Anklets and Chokers. Not Just for Coachella!

April 23, 2016 by WendyB

The choker necklace has gotten so hot so fast this spring — especially at Coachella — that Vogue is ready to declare the style so over in favor of ankle bracelets, aka anklets.   Forget the choker necklace, this is the accessory you need this summer: https://t.co/FEVuX8Liqf — Vogue Magazine (@voguemagazine) April 20, 2016 When I…

Musical Interlude: Andra Day and Rihanna

March 30, 2016 by WendyB

I’d heard of singer Andra Day before, but I didn’t truly HEAR her until she performed with Ellie Goulding at the Grammy Awards last month. While she was still on the Grammy stage, I was checking for tour dates and I had my tickets for her March 25 show at Webster Hall by the time…
