Once, when my father, GeorgeB, was struggling to take an acceptable outfit photo of me for this blog (“Move! Don’t stand there like a statue!”), I said sadly, “I have only one pose.” “Be thankful,” GeorgeB replied, “Some people don’t even have one.” It was the fashion-blogger version of “I cried because I had no [...]

With holiday parties upon us and time travel a possibility (well, it is on Family Guy!), I’ve been worried about finding an appropriate host gift for 15th-16th century Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch. I mean, just in case he invites me to zoom back to 1500 for a festive shindig. Luckily, the Los Angeles Times Magazine [...]

Great news! The new swear-ring styles that I pre-sold on Kickstarter have come in sooner than expected. I will be sending them out this weekend. I already got one OMG set out to gorgeous blogger Solo Lisa. The rings came in handy when Lisa wanted to express her love for particularly delicious ramen. Lisa already [...]

Just a few days after I took note of a plethora of “Wendy 4” searches, I looked at Feedjit and discovered that someone from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, found my blog by Poodling the following (punctuation and capitalization are direct from Feedjit): “I saved 10 pandas and a koala bear by putting this picture of my [...]

Thanks to Poodle Analytics and Feedjit, I know that I’ve gotten quite a bit of traffic from people searching for “Wendy 4 purple dress.” I imagined that “Wendy 4 Purple” was the name of an inexpensive, teen-oriented clothing line and, because I’ve seen plenty of that schlock, I didn’t investigate further. A few days ago, [...]

Here are a few things I’ve heard recently from friends and one brand-new acquaintance that made me laugh. “Don’t sign too many autographs, Paul. It cheapens them.” – said to MrB by our handsome friend Barney. “I’m going to retweet the hell out of this!” — comedian Baratunde Thurston. “I got this dress at a [...]

The theme song from the 1964 James Bond movie Goldfinger is stuck in my head because I recently saw the Frasier episode in which the Cranes sing the song. Gold body parts are on my mind for another reason. This spring I cracked a molar, which required a root canal and a crown. Because the [...]

Today is a day for celebration: it is the one-year-and-one-day procrastination-versary of my introduction to my favorite history book, A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century by Barbara Tuchman. On March 26, 2009, I posted about A Distant Mirror and told you to come back the next week for more. I wrote a long and [...]

I got a little hoarse yesterday. Considering I have two sales coming up, this hoarseness made me very nervous. I took my temperature and it was 99.1. This is basically normal, but, because it wasn’t exactly 98.6, I decided I must be coming down with swine flu. Normally I don’t worry about such things, because [...]

I walked by H&M on 5th Avenue yesterday and saw workers literally rolling out the red carpet for the launch of the Jimmy Choo collection today. If — no, WHEN! — I do the WendyB line for H&M, I promise that all you blog roll bitches are going to prance down the red carpet and [...]
