I’d like to dedicate this craptacular photo of myself — inching into my 41st year in a too-short skirt and red lipstick — to my pink-lipglossed nemesis, How Not to Look Old author Charla Krupp.
I’m wearing a vintage Christian Francis Roth jacket for my 41st birthday, which is today.
Yeah, I’m old, sluts!
Deal with it.
Yeah, I’m old, sluts!
Deal with it.
If you’re old enough to recognize the song reference in the title without my prompting you, you are even more ancient than I am.
Hey Paula
By the way, if you haven’t gone over to Grant Miller Media to vote for me to win the prestigious Drysdale Award categories of Blog With the Most Pictures of the Blogger and Blog With the Most Swears, what the fuck are you waiting for? It’s my birthday, motherfuckers!
UPDATED TO ADD: Just go here and vote on the left side of the screen.

Happy Birthday, Wendy! If it makes you feel any better, I’m older than you (by 2 months). And I look fab, so what the fuck are you talking about?? “Old”? Get out.
Cheers!
jennine says
maybe she should take notes from you… i mean really, if you looked 10 years younger than you do, you’d look like jailbait.

Hey Wendy,
Is that your birthday piñata on top of Paula’s head?

Slutty

Happy Birthday! I had no idea what your age was, as is the case with most bloggers but you’ve always looked fantastic and that book looks horrifying! Red lipstick forever! Have a wonderful day!
fabulous girl says
No such thing as a too-short skirt on you, lovely, especially when paired with classic black hose. Have a wonderful day!
Rhiannon says

Sal says
Holy cats! I wouldn’t have guessed a day over 21. Happy birthday – Capricorns RULE.
Esther says
Pish posh you look way better in a “too-short” skirt than some people I know. Sooooooooo here’s to another 20 years of too-short skirts! HUZZAH!
janettaylor says
Happy Birthday Wendy!
Your look is fabolous. I adore your blazer (3 tone)
Merry Xmas!

Miss Janey says
Happy Birthday, WendyB. Miss J has voted for you in both categories. What is age when you are as hot as WB?
apricot tea. says
Happy birthday, Ms. B! & damn, you look good for your age! I only hope that I look as amazing in my 40s.

Happy birthday! And you’re never old as long as you keep getting ID’d when ordering drinks!

Happy birthday!!!
stef m says
As always, you look gorgeous. If this is old, old rocks. Happy day!
tam pham says
Happy Birthday Wendy!!!!!!!!!! XOXO
pistols at dawn says
We should all be fortunate enough to age a fraction as gracefully as you, miss. I’m imagining owning clothes without Dorito dust on them and not drinking like my liver’s an insurgent uprising that needs to be put down might be a good start.
Happy birthday!
Aisha says
Happy bday, girl!

Many happy returns!
Dana says
