An acquaintance recently said of my blog, “All you do is post pictures of yourself, right?” I laughed because that comment was a perfect counterbalance to the time that I was rejected from a fashion-blogging network — not the wonderful Independent Fashion Bloggers, obvs — because I’d recently posted about the 7th century’s Empress Wu…

What Wendy Wore: Rihanna Stole My Dress, Y’all!
Okay, Rihanna didn’t literally steal my dress like Britney Spears once stole my ring, but this Dolce & Gabbana dress should still be mine. I am the queen of leopard print and I declare this Dolce is the best leopard dress of all time … OF ALL TIME, as Kanye West would say. I’m in…
True Blood-Inspired Temporary Tattoo
Last weekend, I wore a stake for a True Blood viewing party. This week, I’m wearing a vampire-themed temporary tattoo I got at Coney Island. Here’s a close-up. My vampire looks much more like Sesame Street’s Count than like Eric Northman, so thank goodness he’s not permanent. A much better True Blood tribute is Snoop…
What Wendy Wore: Double Denim on the Sly
I wore double denim yesterday … but no blue jeans were involved. Coat: Vintage denim “dice” coat by Patrick Kelly (purchased 2008) T-shirt: American Apparel Jeans: Acne (2007) Shoes: Prada (pre-2004) Lip color: Lasting Lust by MAC Necklace: Mud Flap Jill It still counts, bitches!

What Wendy Wore: California Three-Peat
While I was packing for last week’s trip to Los Angeles, I remembered that I had unintentionally worn the same outfit and posed in the exact same location on L.A. visits in March 2008 and December 2008. This called for a three-peat, so I packed my Black Halo top, black Acne jeans, 16-year-old Karl Lagerfeld…
Greetings From Los Angeles
I’ve been in California for a very quick visit. Luckily, I squeezed in a dinner with some of my West Coast blogger bitches. This picture was taken outside Malo in Silver Lake. It’s hard to see, but everyone is wearing a pair of my silver Cleopatra earrings except for me. I’m wearing the gold Cleopatra…
Outfit Post: Learning Manners From Gang Members
For dinner at Sistina on Monday night, I decided my outfit should be “things I’ve had a long time that I haven’t worn in a long time.” The dress, the shoes and the bag were all acquired before 2005. Dress: Narciso Rodriguez Shoes: Michael Kors Bag: Vintage Hermes from Decades Necklace: My own Boleyn necklace…
Outfit Post: Some Things Old, Some Things Blue
It took me nearly two years, but I finally wore the white lace Dolce & Gabbana coat that I bought from Trudie Styler (aka Mrs. Sting) thanks to some styling tips from gorgeous blogger/designer Stacy Lomman of taffetadarlings. In fact, I wore the coat two ways in one day. For our friends’ anniversary party at…
Outfit Post: Malaysians Bring the Par-Tay
Warning: If Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx and the prime minister of Malaysia are dancing on stage together, move aside quickly. Ladies in pink head scarves will cut a bitch who gets in the way of their picture-taking. I learned this the hard way on Friday at a dinner at The St. Regis hotel in honor…
