A big thanks to all you blog readers! If you hadn’t been so supportive of this blog, maybe I wouldn’t have continued writing it for over a year. If I hadn’t continued, I wouldn’t have written about designer Christian Francis Roth. If I hadn’t written about Christian, he wouldn’t have contacted me. And if he hadn’t contacted me, I wouldn’t be doing jewelry for his new line.
ChristianFR and WendyB in April Yep, I’m making my first venture into “fashion jewelry” to accessorize Christian’s new clothing line, Francis. Christian wants to give the line some combination of our names. I want to call the line “Sam Waterston’s Eyebrows” but he doesn’t think that is a good idea. What can I say? Not everyone has refined taste like mine.
Some of you may have seen shots of Christian’s new line in WWD yesterday. My rings were shot, but that photo didn’t make it into the paper. Of course not! WWD only covers me when I do something really, REALLY important. Luckily, I brought my own craptastic camera to the shoot on Tuesday, so here’s the news that wasn’t fit to print.
First, we’ve got two models wearing pieces from Christian’s line. That plaid blazer is so mine! You can count on my wearing that soon. The blonde is wearing my rings on her left hand.
Here are a few more photos.

Love this graffiti dress and the model’s bad-schoolgirl vibe

Stay tuned for more jewelry designs, plus price information.
Oh, and one more blog-related fan letter needs to go out to Gnarlitude Jen, who put my skull ring on the Urban Outfitters blog. Thanks, Jen!
UPDATED FEBRUARY 2010 TO ADD: It was fun while it lasted, but all good things must come to an end. Click here for more information. All the jewelry is still available on my website.
Congratulations, those rings look fantastic! As did your leopard dress of course!
Thanks for having my leopard-spotted back, Skye!

Oh wow contratulations! Any Aussie stores you want me to swear at for you? Myer? David Jones? I love the rings though Wendy, I really do. I would love to purchase if you sell them online one day!
Awesome news!
Lady Smaggle, I’d love to visit your neighborhood, so swear away! And I will make sure that you — or anyone else in blog land who wants a ring or a set of rings — will get theirs no matter what!

I like the dark blue dress with the swirly dots in the WWD preview.
Raven, I felt like something was missing. I will have to add my photo of that cute button print dress to this post.
I like the name of the joint venture. Thanks for showing the rings, and I hope you do well with them! The new clothing line is great, too.
F$@# YEAH!!! I’ve been dying to tell everyone, but I kept my lips firmly zipped so as not to ruin the moment! Now that you’ve made the big reveal, I can blab away. This is so exciting!
And now I must find a way to get one of those polo dresses… and the plaid miniskirt.
Oh man, those are so effin’ rad! Definitely keep us posted on when/where we can get ’em! (The navy blazer with the plaid trim is awesome, too!) Congratulations, lady!
