Now that we’ve all gotten used to side-boob, it’s time for side-ass. Fashionista.com says that all eyes were on Gwyneth Paltrow’s hips last night, thanks to her Antonio Berardi gown with sheer panels. Click to see the Gwyneth Paltrow pictures. I’m happy to say that I can shop my closet for this trend. I’ve got…
About Wendy
The Fader, Trinidad James & Fashion Blogger Gangsta Boo
The Fader has a good interview with hot new rapper Trinidad James, aka Trinidad Jame$. James was signed to major label Def Jam due to the success of his independently produced video for “All Gold Everything,” aka the reason I randomly say “Woo!” when I’m hot and sweaty. (The video is NSFW and REALLY not…
What Wendy Wore: The Crazy-Leg Boots Again
It seems that New York City is skipping spring this year. With one or two exceptions, it’s been very chilly here. I have a feeling we will go straight from chilly to sweltering, without pausing at “pleasant.” On the bright side, the cold weather has given me a chance to wear some winter clothes/accessories that…
Creature Comforts

What Wendy Wore: Camouflage and Safari Gear in South Africa
It was hard to see this leopard in a tree while on safari at Thornybush Game Lodge in South Africa last week. The wild cat’s excellent camouflage made me wonder if FitzRoy the cat chose his favorite bowl for similar reasons of discretion. If it’s good enough for cats, it’s good enough for me! When…
Thornybush: More Fun Than a Pool Full of Monkeys
Our trip to South Africa comes to an end tomorrow. I’m sad to be going home — there’s still so much to see here. The highlight for me was the safari at Thornybush Game Lodge. MrB and I went on two late-afternoon drives and two early-morning drives. I’ve already posted photos of the two cheetahs…
Throwback Thursday: Best Men Wear Short Dresses
When my dear friend Phil got married in 2002, he asked me to be his best man. Here I am giving my toast. I was soooo nervous. I was nervous about the speech, that is, not the rather short dress I was wearing. Apparently, I was confident that no hemline was too high for a…
What Wendy Wore: Leopard-Print Booties in Leopard Country
Guess what? I’m in South Africa. Here’s what I wore to a dinner in Johannesburg on Saturday night. What Wendy Wore Dress: James Perse (late ’90s) Shoes: Prada (2012) Jewelry: All my own designs Animal prints are very hot here. I saw a lot of them after we left Joburg to go on safari. First,…
Pink Lipstick Recommendation: YSL Rouge Volupte in Rose Culte
I was seriously into eyeshadow during my teen years in the 1980s but now my favorite kind of makeup is lipstick. Red is my everyday color and I’ve got two perfect, long-lasting reds (one from MAC and one from Chanel). I’ve temporarily given up on my search for the right shade of purple after too…
Throwback Thursday: Polaroid, Sweatshirt and Puppy From 1982
Here’s a really old photo — a Polaroid, in fact — for Throwback Thursday. I had recently turned 14 in this picture from 1982. As you can tell from the name of my Shih Tzu puppy, my love for the Beatles was in full effect. (Even though Paul was my favorite Beatle, the dog was…
