Celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival gave me leopard-spotted claws. We name all our manicures and this design is “Pussy Galore.” I took this picture a week after the manicure.
Colors by Gelish
Base color: Princess Tiara
Spots: Rendezvous and Black Shadow
One of Tracylee’s celebrity clients is none other than my idol Coco. Maybe we’ll glimpse Tracylee on Coco’s new reality show about life with her rapper/actor hubby, Ice-T. Ice and Coco are my favorite pimptastic lovahs of all time — OF ALL TIME! — so you better believe I’ll be glued to the TV when Ice Loves Coco starts airing on E! on June 12.
I like what Ice said about the show to PopEater: “It’s a show about our life and how Coco runs my life. It’s done in good taste and nobody’s fighting.” He also said, “I really admire my wife. I think she’s the best and I love everything she does and we admire each other.” Awww! Clearly, Ice really is “an eminently reasonable, positively likable guy, the gangsta rapper even a parent could love,” as the New York Times said in an upbeat review of Ice’s new book, ICE: A Memoir of Gangster Life and Redemption — From South Central to Hollywood.
Ice is doing all this stuff while hanging onto his day job playing Fin Tutuola on Law & Order Special Victims Unit. I’m happy for Ice but I’m a little jealous of all this career action on behalf of the horn-inducing Richard Belzer, who plays Tutuola’s SVU partner John Munch. Why isn’t he getting a reality show too? If E! aired something like “Belzer Loves Brandes,” you’d all tune in, right? Don’t worry; I’m sure my MrB would be totally fine with that concept. After all, he’s the one who arranged my awesome 2010 telephonic encounter with Richard Belzer. Let’s take a moment to enjoy that again.

Oooh, I forgot about your Belzer phone call. That was awesome. Would have been better if you’d picked up! π
Kristin says
Does she ever pose with her front side? You always have the hottest manis lady. I think that’s what I need for Mother’s Day!
Cameron says
I would watch “Belzer Loves Brandes” while listening to the latest Body Count album and checking out yet another Coco pictorial with my Martini Racing-inspired nails by Tracylee because multitasking is awesome.
I think that’s everyone. π

Coco on TV? Awesome! I was getting DTs from the lack of reality shows the last month.
Tina says
I wonder if Coco alternates between posing front first or backside first. Maybe it depends on the clothing?
Susan Tiner says
Yo, Ice and Coco, Imma let you finish, but if the show really is “a show about our life and how Coco runs my life” I will probably fall asleep. “βBelzer Loves Brandes” sounds like more fun.
WendyB says
All comments on this blog should include a Kanye reference. I never get tired of that, as you can see.
Eli says
Loooving the nails. Have you given into the Sally Hansen strips yet Wendy?
Also, kind of glad/sad I don’t have cable tv anymore to catch up on reality tv!
WendyB says
Haven’t tried the Hansen strips yet. Do you know how long those last?
Lara says
I cannot wait until that show comes out! Your tweets are gonna be great! Would totally watch “Belzer Loves Brandes”!!!
So she hand painted your nails? Nice. Can’t believe it’s lasted so well a week later.
WendyB says
Yep! It’s a gel polish, that’s why it lasts. I can’t go back to regular polish now!
Annie Spandex says
I don’t have cable so you’ll have to keep us updated! π
BTW you always have the best manicures, as fitting for someone who makes rings. xx
WendyB says
I resolved to keep my nails in better condition this year. I’ve always been very lax about it and it was embarrassing when I had to show jewelry. People remarked on it! Now that I found Tracylee, I am much more enthused about keeping them in shape.
The Styley says
I’m hearing the message loud and clear: I must try out print nails of some stripe.
So jealous you got a Richard Belzer phone call. Love the Ice-T coverage. I’m a huge fan of SVU.
MJ says
So, ‘e give you the horn, then, does he love?
WendyB says
Yeah, like a dead pope!
Elizabeth says
It’s difficult to imagine IceT staying faithful to a wife, pimpster that he is. But maybe . . . .
Coco has an @ss that won’t quit!
