Last week, I went to see “Whole in the Wall,” an exhibit of graffiti art at the Helenbeck Gallery, accompanied by my designing friend, Christian Francis Roth, and my gorgeous, non-designer friend, Maggie Kneip. I wrote more about the show on my brand-new Francis blog today. [UPDATED TO ADD: That blog is now defunct.] As…

Balmain for Eight Crazy Nights
When I first glimpsed this studded Balmain tank top in Bergdorf Goodman, I thought it had a menorah on it. Furtive cell phone photo Now I can’t get this Adam Sandler song out of my head. That song is really very educational. I like that David Lee Roth is first on Sandler’s list of menorah-lighting…
The Matrix Is Everywhere
I went to the New York Women In Communications Matrix Awards on Monday to see MrB present an award to the lovely and talented Monica Langley of the Wall Street Journal. The awards honor “extraordinary achievements of outstanding women in the communications industry,” and they’re quite a big deal. Another one of the honorees was…
Hannah Montana Wears WendyB
If you look VERY closely, you can sorta see my Victoria Buckle Ring on Miley Cyrus’s index finger. Woot!
Mick Jagger and Ossie Clark
Gimme Shelter by the Rolling Stones has been stuck in my head for days. I know it’s no Dude Looks Like a Lady, but it’s still a great song. It also reminded me of Mick Jagger’s jumpsuit collaboration with my favorite vintage designer, Ossie Clark. I’ve mentioned that Mick wore Ossie clothes but never posted…
Pining for Pimm’s at Harrods
I was thinking of gorgeous ex-blogger Miss L of London and her sadly defunct Times of Glory blog, so I looked up her post about my visit last year with her and the adorable Sharon Rose. It was a perfect day, as she said, and I love this picture she took of Sharon and me….
A Tip of the Top Hat
Those of you who like hair doodads and top hats should check out the Victoria & Albert museum shop. The top-hat hair clips are £8 and the bands are £12. If only 3D will do, BratBoutique sells mini top hats on Etsy. Separately, I tip my imaginary hat to TokyoBunnie for finding the cuteness that…
Holiday Confusion
You know how calendars have all the important holidays printed in them? Well, my 2009 calendar is defective because today it says “St. Patrick’s Day” when it is really St. Coco’s Day. Yes, people. My idol, Coco, came into the world 30 years ago today. I resent that you just thought, “Only thirty?!” You better…
Happy Feet
You can’t be blue if you’re wearing these shoes by Georgina Goodman. The following shoe traits are known for their antidepressant effects: Day-Glo pink Tail fin Striped soles I think these shoes would have felt right at home in Madonna’s Borderline video. I still want the graffiti skirt and fluorescent shoes from that one. Madonna,…
M.I.A. Says, "Stick It!"
I’ve always liked rapper M.I.A. and now I like her more. M.I.A. at the Grammys last month, days before giving birth It’s been all over the interwebs that she named her baby boy, born February 11, “Ickitt.” Naturally, this created an opportunity for every Tom, Dick and Erie Lackawanna to drone on about terrible celebrity…
