Twenty years ago, my family threw a surprise party for my father, GeorgeB, in honor of his 50th birthday. In the picture below, he’s the happy fellow wearing the giant button and I am the one laughing like a maniac on the left. WendyB and GeorgeB in 1989 Today, GeorgeB is celebrating his 70th birthday.

I am totally distracted from the Grammys — despite a performance by my almost-husband Paul McCartney, who did look quite handsome — by the news that R&B singer Chris Brown is under investigation for alleged domestic violence. The only thing I ever found remotely interesting about Chris Brown is that he dates Rihanna. Both of [...]

My almost-husband Paul McCartney is on my good side today, thanks to his appearance on The Colbert Report. Some viewers are on my bad side for their online comments saying that almost-MrB didn’t “get it.” WTF? I’m resigned to people having poor reading comprehension but poor TV comprehension is a new low. As you’ll see [...]

I had a great time last night thanks to my gorgeous friend Jen, who invited me to her family’s annual outing to Carnegie Hall to see “1964…The Tribute,” an unbelievably realistic-sounding Beatles tribute band. If you closed your eyes, you’d think it was the real thing. And, if you opened your eyes (which I’d recommend [...]

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.

Every December 25, I get into the holiday spirit by reminiscing about an idiot I knew in my freshman year of college. This self-described born-again Christian once went into a rant about the secularization of Christmas as symbolized by the use of “Xmas.” She thought that evil secular people had X’d the “Christ” out of [...]

I still haven’t recovered from the Times of London’s chimichanga-flashing interview of date-rape-apologist Helen Mirren, but I did enjoy this fully-clothed interview the paper conducted with my almost-husband, Paul McCartney. I do think Paul (and everyone else) should stop worrying about fools who still gripe about who broke up the Beatles. Many of us have [...]

I’ve become intrigued by The Remains, a ’60s group that opened for the Beatles, appeared on Ed Sullivan, put out one album and then broke up. Photo source There’s a Remains documentary called America’s Lost Band that I would love to see. Meanwhile, I’m definitely getting Ticket to Ride, a book about that 1966 tour [...]

My gorgeous husband MrB (sometimes known as Paul) turns 66 years young today! There’s a famous song about former highway Route 66 I am definitely married to the right 66-year-old Paul. The other one who was almost my husband just finished a big Route 66 road trip that involved camping and giving people two thumbs [...]

Someone needs to buy me this ’60s printed leather and denim jacket by Cavalli. $645 at Swank Vintage Speaking of jackets, Under the Stares is yet another blogger who is yearning for a marching band/military-type jacket. For her, my fellow Adam Ant fan, If You’re Into It, found this Converse by John Varvatos jacket. $795 [...]
