MrB and I love London. We’ve gone there every year since 2008 to visit our many friends who live in the city or close to it. In particular, I like to meet up with gorgeous bloggers and drink Pimm’s. Here are my previous London posts. 2013: Pimm’s fest and a strange trench coat. 2012: Fish…

Wanderlust 2014: I Tuned In to Liverpool
Back in 1980, I got a fever and the only prescription was John, Paul, George and Ringo. Since then, I’ve wanted to go to Liverpool, the Fab Four’s hometown. It’s difficult to schedule a trip to Liverpool though. It doesn’t top most non-Beatlemaniac vacation lists, so every year, I’ve told myself, “Maybe next year.” Then…
Nicki Minaj’s Other Inspiration(s)
OG 1990s rapper Lil’ Kim is angry — and not for the first time — because she feels newer girl Nicki Minaj is biting her style. Kim, also known as the “Queen Bee,” has been a busy bee this week, putting out two diss tracks, and the week ain’t over! Today’s track makes the cause…
For Doors Stans: Pamela Courson’s Mother Has Died
I like to look over the obituaries in the print edition of the New York Times — there are a lot of interesting stories there. Today, I couldn’t help noticing this beautiful face in the paid death notices section. Figuring this lady had to have been an actress, I glanced at the information: died aged…
What Wendy Wore: Wigless at Katy Perry
As I previously mentioned, I went to Katy Perry’s concert at Barclays Center last week. I had a rough day so I threw on whatever was at hand/on the floor. When I got to the venue, I was disappointed that I hadn’t come up with a concert costume, or at least a pink or blue…
New Emoji Earrings Available at Nylon; Plus, Katy Perry
If you love emojis and gold, I’ve got good news for you. Some of my most popular emoji single stud earrings — including the middle finger — are now being made in gold-plated silver and, for the moment, they’re available exclusively at Nylon Magazine’s online shop. Nylon did this awesome gif with four of the…
Throwback Thursday: Patrick Kelly Dress X 5, Plus Shania & Kylie
I have a new obsession: collages of the same outfit in different years. I’ve always shown the outfit photos on my blog, but last month I decided to make some into collages and now I can’t stop! Here is my beloved Patrick Kelly leopard gown, from the late designer’s Fall/Winter 1989 collection, photographed in 2008,…
Madonna, 10 Years Ago Today
Ten years ago today, I was going to Madonna’s Re-Invention tour at Continental Arena in New Jersey. Continental Arena is now called the Izod Center. But, to me, it will always be the Brendan Byrne Arena, where I went to my first concert (Journey!) in 1982. I had already seen Madonna at Madison Square Garden…
Having a Jeff Koons Moment
About two weeks ago, gorgeous Josette Patterson, who, with her husband Mark, designs the Mark Patterson line of jewelry, emailed to ask if she could interview me for her blog. When she sent me her questions, she began by saying, “I noticed that everyone who interviewed you asked you the same questions about your past…
Pharrell Does It Again
Singer/songwriter/producer/everything Pharrell Williams sure knows how to get everyone talking with his fashion choices. In January, his Vivienne Westwood hat stole the show at the Grammys. In March, his tuxedo shorts made a big statement at the Oscars. Tonight, I was watching True Blood instead of the BET Awards, but when I saw “Uggs” trending…
