When I was hanging out with my designing friend Zang Toi on July 4th, I showed him some old pictures of us together. One of the photos was in this post from 2008 and, as I looked at it, I decided another picture in the same post captured one of my favorite fashion moments evah….

My Music Peeps Wearing WendyB Jewelry
I love seeing my musician clients wearing the custom jewelry designs I made for them. I already previewed the issue of Inked Magazine with gorgeous singer/songwriter Skylar Grey on the cover. Now the magazine is out and I’ve gotten to see more fabulous photos featuring the double-ax necklace I made for Skylar. How hot is…
FitzRoy Brandes: Quality Control Inspector
Today, Eryn and I showed FitzRoy my sterling-silver SRSLY? necklace. “Bat it with your paw if you think this necklace is awesome,” we said. We passed the inspection and can now brag that this necklace has been certified awesome by a cat. You know a cat like this wouldn’t steer you wrong. Follow FitzRoy —…
Throwback Thursday: Favorite Shirts From 1983
I keep flipping through photos from my first trip to England in 1983, hoping to find the picture of my encounter with Roger Daltrey. I kept passing over one in which I was standing by a life-size model of a old-time train conductor; the white t-shirt I was wearing in the shot didn’t interest me….
The Weeks in Review
The past two weeks have been wild around here! The big news was the announcement that the Columbia Daily Spectator — the undergraduate newspaper of my alma mater, Columbia University — would focus on its website, while reducing its printing schedule from five times a week to once a week. As the chairman of the…
Throwback Thursday: Lehman Brothers and Mr. Winkle
Gorgeous blogger Faux Fuchsia made me LOL with the comment she left on Tuesday’s post about my work history. It reads, in part: “In the 1st law firm I worked at in 1994, the one where I wished I’d be hit by a bus on the way to work, because it was that bad, we…
One of My Eminem Photos Has Gotten Some Lovin’
My obsessive photojournalist-like behavior at concerts has paid off! Recently, Eminem’s Facebook invited people to send in concert photos for use on Em’s official Tumblr. I sent in the ones from the G-Shock concert I went to last August and one popped up on Tumblr today. CLICK HERE TO GIMME SOME MORE LOVIN’! You’ll notice…
Kittehs (and Porn) Rule the Internet
The puppets of the play Avenue Q sang, “The Internet is for porn.” But, according to my scientific research totally made-up numbers, only 40% of the Internet is for porn. Forty percent is for cats. Ten percent is for idiots to write irrational comments on news sites. Five percent is for very young people and…
Throwback Thursday: Pearl Choker at 2006 Oscars
I wore a pearl choker to Vanity Fair’s Oscar party this year. I wore the choker to the same event in 2006. I was wearing an emerald-green Zang Toi gown which I further accessorized with a beaded, peacock-feather fan and a tux-clad MrB. We also went to the Oscar ceremony that year, and I managed…
Fat Cat With a History of Violence
For the past 24 hours, I’ve been laughing over the story of a Portland, Ore., man who called 911 after his 22-lb cat went on the rampage. Lux, the cat, scratched the dude’s 7-month-old baby, so the guy kicked Lux in the rear. Lux didn’t take kindly to that and charged the whole family, leading…
