We’re heading back to New York today, though I wish I could stay a few more days in Los Angeles, just to go to the movies if nothing else. I finally saw Django Unchained and Life of Pi while we were out here, because they were playing at the fabulous Arclight Cinemas in Hollywood. In…

Reporting From Cloud Nine
In 2009, I saw my idol, Coco, and her hot pimp, Ice-T, in a Los Angeles hotel, but I was too shy to say anything to them. I’m proud to say I learned from that experience. Today, when I saw actor Sam Waterston and his beauteous eyebrows in a (different) hotel, I took action. He…
What Wendy Wore: Vanity Fair Oscar Party, Part II
On Monday, I posted my outfit for Sunday’s Vanity Fair Oscar party. It was the same ensemble I wore to the Committee to Protect Journalists dinner in November. What Wendy Wore Dress: Zang Toi (2012) Jacket: Junya Watanabe (2012) Unseen shoes: Versace (2003) It turns out that I had a couple of higher-profile sisters in…
What Wendy Wore: Zang Toi to Vanity Fair Oscar Party
I was super-excited to go to the Vanity Fair Oscar party in Los Angeles last night. This event is a major thrill for me … but that doesn’t always mean I get a new dress for the occasion. I actually enjoy wearing the same dress to events that are just a few months apart, especially…
What Wendy Wore: The Weinstein Company Pre-Oscar Party
I’m in Los Angeles for Oscar festivities! I’m not going to the ceremony this time, but that’s okay. I’ve already lurked seductively behind George Clooney on the Oscar red carpet once in my life — who could ask for anything more? Last night was The Weinstein Company’s pre-Oscar part at Soho House. Dorothy Pomerantz, writing…
What Wendy Wore: Family Guy Epiphany & 2 Seinfeld References
When I had the chance to wear my highly flammable, oversize, costume-store-purchased pirate shirt to an Adam Ant concert last year, I had a Family Guy moment. In the Family Guy episode “Boys Don’t Cry,” the Griffin family is on the run from people who think baby Stewie is possessed by the devil. Stewie dresses…
What Wendy Wore: Gold Lamé at Zang Toi’s Show
My designing friend Zang Toi had his Fall 2013 show at Lincoln Center last Wednesday. This season, he was inspired by Imperial Russia. Opulence. Zang has it! I was particularly attracted to the pieces in amethyst and emerald. Now that I think of it, maybe I’m looking for something to go with my Marie Antoinette…
What Wendy Wore: Columbia Spectator Annual Awards Dinner
I’ve mentioned before on the blog that I’m the chairman of the board of alumni trustees of the Columbia Daily Spectator, Columbia University’s student newspaper. I was the arts and entertainment editor at Spectator in 1988. As one of the trustees, I now advise the students on a variety of issues and promote the newspaper’s…
What Wendy Wore: Exactly What She Was Told To Wear
My gorgeous friend Alyssa, who is an excellent cook, invited a bunch of us wimmins over for a fabulous dinner at her apartment last night. Of course, I asked designer/blogger/stylist Stacy Lomman what I should wear. I let her make all my outfit decisions lately, even for casual occasions. I prefer her taste to my…
What Wendy Wore: Stylist’s Own Sweater
You know those times you’re looking at a fashion editorial in a magazine and see the Best!Thing!Ever!? And you have to have that thing, so you look for the store credits and then get depressed when it says “stylist’s own”? I felt like I was in a fashion magazine on Sunday when designer/blogger/FIT instructor/stylist/neighbor Stacy…
