More Stevie Nicks, Plus Kanye, Rihanna and Paul McCartney

January 24, 2015 by WendyB

In yesterday’s post about this week’s Fleetwood Mac concert at Madison Square Garden, I mentioned that gorgeous Instagrammer Carrie Courogen was soooo front-row that she played Lindsey Buckingham’s guitar. Twice. Because I already posted the guitar picture, here’s a nice shot Carrie got of Stevie Nicks. The perfect halo of gold hair and lightning. A…

November Concert Catch-Up: Kanye West and Jonathan Richman

December 21, 2013 by WendyB

Over the years, I — like a lot of people — have rolled my eyes over Kanye West‘s antics and outbursts. But, as I always say, “Never Is the Next New Thing™.” In other words, things that are turn-offs at first can become appealing after repeated exposure.  Kanye started winning me over in ways unrelated…

My Take on Kim and Kanye’s Engagement Ring

October 22, 2013 by WendyB

Kanye West popped the question to Kim Kardashian with a 15-carat diamond ring by Lorraine Schwartz. I appreciate his timing, because yesterday I launched another Instagram account — @WendyBrandesJewelry — which focuses solely on my jewelry designs and other jewelry news. No cats and dogs (you need to follow @fitzroy_the_cat for those) and no concert…

Kanye West, Azealia Banks & a New Year’s Resolution

December 30, 2012 by WendyB

Yesterday, after I gave Kanye West a pat on the back for his edgy wardrobe choices, he went right back to doing what he does best: complaining about how the world won’t let Kanye West be great. While venting at a second show in Atlantic City last night he said the Grammys have done him…

Kanye West Does Lady Gaga (No, Not in THAT Way, You Pervs)

December 29, 2012 by WendyB

Kanye West has irritated me many times with his asshattery, but every so often, his fashion experimentation places him firmly on my good side. Back in November 2011, I approved wholeheartedly when I saw Kanye wearing a Givenchy leather skirt kilt over pants during his and Jay-Z’s “Watch the Throne” concert at Madison Square Garden….

Kanye West and Fashion Amnesia

December 13, 2012 by WendyB

One of the big moments of last night’s 12/12/12 Concert for Sandy Relief — for Twitter, at least — was Kanye West’s leather skirt. Peeps couldn’t stop talking about it. Yet, it was also the subject of much chatter and news coverage last year when Kanye wore what looks like the same skirt for his…

What Wendy Wore: Patrick Kelly, Kanye West, King Lear

November 10, 2011 by WendyB

This seems to be my month for dusting off dresses that have been hibernating in my closet for two years. On Saturday, I wore my gold-sequin Antik Batik dress — last worn in December 2009 — in Las Vegas. Then, on Monday, I wore the bow-covered vintage Patrick Kelly dress that I last wore out…

Anna Wintour’s Genius Comment About Kanye West

October 7, 2011 by WendyB

The musically talented but otherwise insufferable Kanye “Gay Fish” West showed his first line of women’s clothing in Paris on Saturday, earning reviews such as “Good thing Kanye West has a day job.” I’ve become inured to random-ass celebrities who deem themselves qualified to launch clothing and jewelry lines to great fanfare just because they’ve…

Happy 18th Wedding Anniversary, MrB!

July 22, 2019 by WendyB

MrB and I are celebrating our 18th wedding anniversary today — not to be confused with a date-a-versary. In February 2018, I wrote a 20th date-a-versary post and a few people have been befuddled by the number of years ever since. Sorry, y’all! Anyway, although I haven’t been able to find the rejection letter that…

Met Gala 2019: Preview From Bitter, Party of One

May 6, 2019 by WendyB

The Met Gala — the informal name for the Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art — takes place tonight and, as always, I am bitter about not being an invitee.  Not because I want to rub elbows with celebrities and billionaires, but because I LOVE theme dressing and I LOVE to shop…
