I went to see Rihanna at Barclays Center on May 5 and took one of my best-ever concert photos! When Bad Gal RiRi first came out in this costume, it took me a moment to realize what the print was. Then I thought, “Bitch stole my style again!” First, she ran off with a leopard…

My Met Gala Winners Are Miley Cyrus and Linda Fargo
As I expected, many of the guests at tonight’s Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art wore beautiful evening gowns, rather than anything related to the “Punk: Chaos to Couture” exhibit that is being celebrated. Some of the gowns are very striking, but they’d be suitable for practically any red-carpet occasion. Actress Hailee…
What Wendy Would Have Worn to the Met Gala: W.O.W. Style
Every year, my invitation to the Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art gets lost in the mail. It’s such a shame, because I would wear a real costume to match the party theme, instead of one of the generically pretty designer dresses that so many guests fall back on. Remember the superhero-themed…
Beyoncé, Kerli, Inspiration and Imitation
I first saw the singer Kerli at Lollapalooza in 2011, and I was very taken by her sound and her alien/anime/Lolita look. I downloaded her music that night and I’ve kept an eye on her ever since so I was very interested when, this Monday, she posted two photos on Facebook. One was Beyoncé striking…
NYC Vice: Rings and Rap
When I introduced my swear ring set in 2008, people asked me why I chose to do four separate rings instead of one big ring that spanned four fingers. Actually, I got asked that question right up until last year, when a big fast-fashion retailer started selling the multi-ring look and suddenly it was okay….
I’m Not Worthy!
There was a 21st-anniversary reunion of the Wayne’s World cast last week. Reading about it, I realized that not only did the people involved in that movie have great taste in music — they had great taste in jewelry too. Check out this picture of Lara Flynn Boyle wearing a “WAYNE” necklace that’s exactly the…
The Fader, Trinidad James & Fashion Blogger Gangsta Boo
The Fader has a good interview with hot new rapper Trinidad James, aka Trinidad Jame$. James was signed to major label Def Jam due to the success of his independently produced video for “All Gold Everything,” aka the reason I randomly say “Woo!” when I’m hot and sweaty. (The video is NSFW and REALLY not…
Women With Attitude: Skylar Grey and Whoopi Goldberg
Singer/songwriter Skylar Grey has a nasty new song out and I love it. In the hypnotic “Final Warning,” Skylar informs her cheating boyfriend that she’s driven his truck into a lake. Then she tells him she’s going to go to the kitchen to fetch a knife. It’s clear she’s not going to use it to…
OMG! My Emoji Earrings Are on Style.com!
I’m so thrilled! My emoji stud earrings — April’s Jewels of the Month — have been featured on Style.com! A great big … … goes out to Katharine K. Zarrella for writing the piece. You’ll notice it mentions that I made up the middle-finger emoji. When I was looking for a hand model for that…
Oh, You Big Ham! Cray-Cray Fashion from The Rodnik Band
I do have a passion for highlarious fashion, so I have to thank singer Rita Ora and Fashion Bomb Daily for introducing me to the art/fashion/performance art of The Rodnik Band via Rita’s cheese-slice dress. The Rodnik Band is designed by Philip Colbert, who was interviewed by the site Not Just a Label. The introduction to…
