My invitation to the Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art must have gotten lost in the mail — AGAIN! — and, as a result, I’m sitting at home tonight in the XXL “I Heart New York” t-shirt that I bought at JFK one fiendishly hot July day when my plane was delayed [...]

I love this photo of my gorgeous body-painted friend, makeup artist/model Tennille Nielsen, rocking my OMG rings at crotch level. In case you don’t remember the rings from my recent Topshop post, here’s a closeup of them. I’ll share more pictures from Tennille’s shoot later.

The sterling-silver swear-ring set from my WENDYB by Wendy Brandes line has been one of my most popular designs since I introduced it at a designer friend’s runway show in 2008. Word and letter jewelry has been around for ages, and I’m not the first designer to do “Fuck” jewelry. I’ve said myself that there’s nothing [...]

When celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival gave me a manicure with Sally Hansen Salon Effects nail polish strips in March, the design lasted for two weeks. I was impressed. Like Minx, another long-lasting nail product, there’s no drying time for the strips. Unlike Minx, no heat lamp is needed to seal the product to the nails. [...]

Dick Clark — the host of American Bandstand and New Year’s Rockin’ Eve — died yesterday at age 82. You’ve probably seen his famous Bandstand chat with Madonna a thousand times in the past 24 hours, but I’m going to link to the clip again anyway. I was glued to the television when this originally [...]

I hardly knew what to do with myself last night now that the Starz television show Spartacus is over for the season. Gorgeous blogger/designer/neighbor Stacy Lomman came over every Friday so we could drink pink Champagne while watching Romans and their slaves being killed in ingenious ways.

Luckily for me, the AMC show The Killing infuriated fans by ending its first season without resolving its central murder mystery. (The network said it regretted that it didn’t better manage viewer expectations.) Critics and viewers are looking for the second season — which starts on April 1 — to make up for the disappointment.

Yesterday, I gave you the link to the Fall 2012 lookbook for my signature jewelry line.

I’ve already posted two of the photos, including this one. I’ve [...]
