My blog turned 10 years old earlier this year, and I suddenly became curious about what — if anything — I’d published on Thanksgiving over the years. So here’s a look back at those posts. Nov. 22, 2007: I decided to look ahead to New Year’s Eve dresses. Why? I’m not sure. This was back…

What Wendy Wore: Vienna, Dressy and Casual
I’ve done Throwback Thursday and Flashback Friday posts this week. I’m not sure how today’s post should be categorized. Seen-Before Saturday? Near the end of MrB’s working vacation in Europe, we attended the Global Editors Network Summit’s Data Journalism Awards dinner in Vienna. MrB is president of the awards, so he did some speaking and…
Flashback Friday: Bonn, Vienna, Empress Sisi
After a few days in Paris in June, MrB and I went to Bonn, Germany, where MrB was taking part in the Global Media Forum. I attended a panel he did about Trump and the media, and live-tweeted it; check out his description of the way in which Trump differs from Nixon. Then we went to…
Throwback Thursday: Paris in June
In June, MrB and I visited three cities in Europe. MrB was giving speeches and/or participating in panels everywhere, and I went along for the ride! Paris was first. When MrB wasn’t busy, we walked around by the Eiffel Tower, because I can never take too many pictures of that. On our way there, we…
What Wendy Wore: Sequins, Then and Now
Look, I changed my shoes (click to enlarge photos)!

Throwback Thursday: Non-Lobster Quadrille in Vienna
For Throwback Thursday, I’m not going too far back … just to June, when MrB and I visited Vienna. On our last night in the city, we went to the Concordia Ball, which has been held every June for 150 years by Press Club Concordia, an organization of Austrian journalists and writers. The dress code…
What Wendy Wore: Vienna Mission Accomplished!
We had to take our photos at night this time, but yesterday MrB and I managed to recreate our throwback pictures from our long-ago trip to Vienna. First, we attended the Data Journalism Awards, held at Vienna’s City Hall, where MrB both presented awards and also accepted the award for best individual portfolio on behalf…
Throwback Thursday: Vienna Back in the Day
MrB and I are currently in Vienna, attending the Global Editors Network Summit on media innovation. My No. 1 goal while here is to re-enact a photo from our last visit here, many years ago. This was probably taken in 1999 or 2000. I, of course, was the immature individual who decided the sign looked…
Throwback Thursday: Juana la Loca in Spain
MrB and I have been visiting Madrid and Pamplona so that MrB could speak to journalism students and alumni at the #CelebratingJournalism events organized by the School of Communication at the University of Navarra. For those who don’t know, MrB (also known as Paul Steiger) was the managing editor of the Wall Street Journal for…
Photos From Thanksgiving in Costa Rica
My parents, GeorgeB and BarbaraB, will be married for 50 years on December 26. For half a century of marriage, you deserve more than a one-day celebration, so we kicked off the fun early. First, my mother received her Wendy Brandes anniversary ring in October. Then, for Thanksgiving, my parents took the entire family went…
