Gorgeous blogger Jennine from The Coveted and Independent Fashion Bloggers has been my house guest for a couple of weeks. We’ve been very busy. Among other things, we went to Zang Toi’s fashion show and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I bought a puzzle at the museum and we completed it. We ate at Nobu,…

Fashion’s Night Out: So Excited I Could Scream
I hit the town for Fashion’s Night Out last night wearing my capitalism-promoting dollar dress and accompanied by hawt bloggers Jennine of The Coveted and Alyssa, Kathy and Vyque of Fasshonaburu. We ran away from the teeming masses fighting to get into Bergdorf Goodman, wandered through Astroturf inside Prada’s 5th Avenue store, and wound up…
What Wendy Will Wear: Dress by Zang Toi
What timing! Right after my post about how sample sizes, by definition, don’t fit the vast majority of people right off the rack, Tia from The Quest for “it” posted about the sample sale I had with my designing friend Zang Toi last month. Conveniently, she took a picture of Zang personally altering a red-cashmere…
Technicolor Yawn
I used to have a tie-dyed cashmere sweater. It made me look like a rainbow had thrown up on me. Only one tiny photo of it exists. I got rid of the sweater long ago, but I thought of it as soon as I saw these shoes by Nicholas Kirkwood for Erdem. If I had…
Scenes From a Sample Sale
I had a great time at my joint sample sale with my designing friend Zang Toi today. All my peeps stopped by. Gorgeous blogger Pamela of Market Publique treated herself to an asterisk ring. My gorgeous friend Elizabeth was all like, “OMG!” Gorgeous blogger Tina of The Occasional Cook is a big True Blood fan…
2001 Hair Flashback
While looking for some old pictures of Gigi the dog, I found some good shots of my short 2001 hairdo, taken by my father, GeorgeB, on my birthday that year. Here are some of my other past ‘dos: The perm The pixie The ’80s The Shelly Duvall
Having a Samantha Moment in a Stacy Lomman Dress
As I said in yesterday’s post, I got together with gorgeous blogger Jennine of The Coveted last week so she could photograph and interview me for her denim blog, Eat, Sleep, Denim. While we were at it, I wanted to get a picture of a dress made for me by gorgeous blogger/clothing designer Stacy Lomman…
Ossie Clark Is Fugging Fabulous
Thanks to commenter Carrie for pointing out that director Lucy Walker’s vintage Ossie Clark dress made it onto Go Fug Yourself. Carrie remembered that I had re-posted this 2004 photo of myself last month. I read Go Fug Yourself from 2004 to 2006, when comments were regularly allowed (now they’re selectively allowed.) Commenters ranged from…
Souvenir From London
One thing I love about U.K. magazines is that they occasionally give me presents. My keychain is a light-blue heart from Aspinal of London that I got with an issue of Tatler a while back. This month, while in London, I picked up an issue of Elle that came with a Paul & Joe Sister…
A Portrait of the Jeweler as a Tudor Queen
My designing friend Zang Toi has two white-gold paintings of Marie Antoinette that were love at first sight for me. You know how I feel about queens! I once bid on a small, pink version of Marie in an auction but lost. I was very upset. When Zang finally introduced me to the gorgeous artist,…
