The Harvey Weinstein Sex-Abuse Scandal Grows

October 10, 2017 by WendyB

I already updated my original post about the Harvey Weinstein sex-abuse revelations once today after I read Ronan Farrow’s New Yorker story about Weinstein, which included three allegations of rape. But I’ve got more to say, so it’s time for a fresh post. There has been a reassuring amount of support for Weinstein’s victims. At…

I’m in Los Angeles, thrilled to be away from the 1 degree winter weather at home in New York. Last night, we went to a super-fun Oscar viewing party hosted by movie producer Harvey Weinstein, followed by the Vanity Fair after-party.

What Wendy Wore: The Weinstein Company Pre-Oscar Party

February 24, 2013 by WendyB

I’m in Los Angeles for Oscar festivities! I’m not going to the ceremony this time, but that’s okay.

What Wendy Wore: Watanabe to the Weinstein Party

December 27, 2019 by WendyB

I always attend the conferences organized by Initiatives in Art and Culture.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art announced that next year’s spring Costume Institute exhibition will be themed “Camp: Notes on Fashion,” aka “Wendy’s Special Occasion Wardrobe.” I know that tickets to the exhibit’s opening gala cost big bucks … … but someone should still invite me as his or her guest, because I’m clearly a VIP…

Mean Boys and Rough Jewelry

April 2, 2018 by WendyB

One of the great things about the jewelry business — in my 13 years of experience, at least — is the dearth of mean girls. via GIPHY The majority of the women I’ve encountered in the industry have been friendly, collaborative, and supportive. Their encouragement has often kept me going through challenging times. But, to…
