What Wendy Wore: Family Guy Epiphany & 2 Seinfeld References
When I had the chance to wear my highly flammable, oversize, costume-store-purchased pirate shirt to an Adam Ant concert last year, I had a Family Guy moment. In the Family Guy episode “Boys Don’t Cry,” the Griffin family is on the run from people who think baby Stewie is possessed by the devil. Stewie dresses…
Sainte-Chapelle-Inspired Nail Art by Tracylee Percival
Since last summer, I’ve been very open-minded to the beauty and fashion suggestions from all the experts in my life. I figure I trust their taste and I work in a creative industry, so why not go a little wild? Shave a lock of hair off? Count me in. Frizzy ’70s curls and pink eyeshadow?…

Snipping Away
My hair guru, Keith Carpenter, has been snipping away at the left side of my ‘do since July. The asymmetrical hair of the punk ’70s and New Wave ’80s really appeals to me lately. Keith sheared me a little shorter yesterday before I went to a dinner. This is the shortest that section of my…

Need a Laugh? Try Stewie and Peter From Family Guy.
This Family Guy clip is guaranteed to make me laugh no matter what kind of mood I’m in. It’s from an episode in which Peter (the dad) gets in touch with his feminine side. Stewie’s reaction to being breastfed is among my favorite Family Guy moments. It’s a very “2 Girls 1 Cup” response. Family…

Keep That Blue Robe Far Away From Me
Commercials that I love have included Mayhem for Allstate, Eminem for Chrysler and Brisk, Little Richard for Geico, the Android Smartphone crown jewels ad, and the recent Mob Wives promo. Despite my devotion to Family Guy, I wasn’t crazy about the Wheat Thins commercial I just saw that simply copies the show’s famous “Cool Whip”…
