The MTV Video Music Awards have kept Beyoncé on my mind, so it’s a good day to finally do my Beyoncé concert post. MrB and I caught the Formation Tour at New York’s Citi Field on June 7 — in between my return from the JCK jewelry trade show in Las Vegas and our trip…

ICYMI: My MTV VMAs Posts From 2007 to 2015
The MTV Video Music Awards are tonight at 9 p.m. ET. You can always count on this event to produce memorable moments, even in worst years. And this shouldn’t be a bad year. As the New York Times reported, music videos matter again! That’s due to YouTube rather than television, of course, but who cares,…
Musical Interlude: My Almost-Husband, Paul McCartney
Last Sunday, my real-life husband, MrB, accompanied me to MetLife Stadium in New Jersey to see my almost-husband, Paul McCartney, in concert. I wore the t-shirt I got at the Cavern Club in Liverpool in 2014. I didn’t take a full outfit photo, but here’s a candid picture of my face during the almost-three-hour-long show….
What Wendy Wore: Gareth Pugh for Our Anniversary
MrB and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary on Friday by having dinner at Osteria al Doge and going to see Beautiful: The Carole King Musical. We highly recommend both experiences! I had considered re-wearing white leather halter that was part of my 2001 post-wedding-gown party outfit, but I had that thought in the middle of…
Throwback Thursday: A Dress in London, Miami, NYC
For at least 10 years, MrB and I have visited London and Paris in July. We didn’t make plans this year, so I’ve been mournfully looking at my 2015 photos. This one of me — in a Keith Haring-print dress from Patricia Field — was taken in London on July 31. I think I might…

Late last night, Access Hollywood broke the news that director/producer Garry Marshall died of pneumonia complications following a stroke. He was 81. Embed from Getty Images Marshall directed a number of hit movies, including Pretty Woman (1990) and The Princess Diaries (2001), but before that, he was the creator of the iconic 1970s television shows…
My Best Dressed at the 2016 Hip Hop Honors Is …
VH1 had an annual Hip Hop Honors telecast from 2004 to 2010 to recognize “the luminaries who broke new ground and propelled the [hip hop] genre into the cultural phenomenon it has become.” I’m not sure why the network stopped doing it, or why the show was resurrected tonight, but I approve because the theme…
What Wendy Wore in the Rain: Paul Simon, July 4th
I swear that there was one New York summer in the 1990s during which we had rain every weekend. Something like 13 weekends in a row. (I’m trying to Poodle this, but I don’t want to spend all day on mid-1990s weather research, so just go with me here.) Even so, I don’t think I…
Game of Thrones Engagement Rings; July 4th Sale
I’m very amused by this Engagement 101 post by Severine Ferrari, suggesting suitable rings for all the single ladies of Game of Thrones. The reversible Anthony Lent flip ring for Arya is spot-on, now that she’s perfected her use of other people’s faces. CLICK HERE FOR THE POST. My Dragon and Knight Maneater ring was…
In the News Today: Muhammad Ali and More

Highlights included comedian Billy Crystal’s funny and touching remembrance … … Rabbi Michael Lerner’s impassioned call for social change … … and the first eulogy, given by Ali’s wife, Lonnie Ali. If you missed the…
