A Tale From the Thievery Archives
Some recent celebrity news has reminded me of an experience I had in 2006. Once upon a time in that year, a troubled starlet who had attended a glamorous film-industry event reported that her tres chic handbag was missing. The bag was filled with jewelry, including jewelry that she had borrowed to wear to the…
Things That Have Fascinated Me Recently
My Baby Is Average tumblr (via Princess Poochie). Nicki Minaj’s rap in Kanye West’s “Monster.” Josh Groban singing Kanye West’s Tweets: As far as I know, Kanye West has nothing to do with the Average Baby tumblr. Thank goodness. I wouldn’t want people to think I have a Kanye West obsession.
WendyB Called. She Wants Her Pose Back.
Once, when my father, GeorgeB, was struggling to take an acceptable outfit photo of me for this blog (“Move! Don’t stand there like a statue!”), I said sadly, “I have only one pose.” “Be thankful,” GeorgeB replied, “Some people don’t even have one.” It was the fashion-blogger version of “I cried because I had no…
Holiday Host Gift for Hieronymus Bosch
With holiday parties upon us and time travel a possibility (well, it is on Family Guy!), I’ve been worried about finding an appropriate host gift for 15th-16th century Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch. I mean, just in case he invites me to zoom back to 1500 for a festive shindig. Luckily, the Los Angeles Times Magazine…

Just a few days after I took note of a plethora of “Wendy 4” searches, I looked at Feedjit and discovered that someone from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, found my blog by Poodling the following (punctuation and capitalization are direct from Feedjit): “I saved 10 pandas and a koala bear by putting this picture of my…
Wendy 4’s Amazing Bosom
Thanks to Poodle Analytics and Feedjit, I know that I’ve gotten quite a bit of traffic from people searching for “Wendy 4 purple dress.” I imagined that “Wendy 4 Purple” was the name of an inexpensive, teen-oriented clothing line and, because I’ve seen plenty of that schlock, I didn’t investigate further. A few days ago,…
I Am Amused
Here are a few things I’ve heard recently from friends and one brand-new acquaintance that made me laugh. “Don’t sign too many autographs, Paul. It cheapens them.” — said to MrB by our handsome friend Barney. “I’m going to retweet the hell out of this!” — comedian Baratunde Thurston. “I got this dress at a…
Cake or Death? I’ll Have the Chicken
Last month, when I was celebrating the appearance of my Cleopatra earrings in Sex and the City 2, gorgeous blogger Stacy of taffetadarlings gave me this congratulatory cake from Two Little Red Hens. The cake was gone within 24 hours, but comedian Eddie Izzard’s “Cake or death?” routine has been stuck in my head ever…
