My gorgeous sister Terri Berry and her handsome husband Tim Berry are the proud parents of a rescued Pekingese named Max. When they first got him, I congratulated her on his unique name. Then I suggested she liven it up by giving him a middle initial and last name too. “Max E. Pad” has a…

Nu Shooz
Yesterday, I was annoyed by an anti-flower-feet article in the New York Observer. The article, which is heavy on sarcasm but short on funny, also slammed chunky platform wedges, peep-toe booties and — worst of all — gladiator sandals! The Emperor agrees with me. “Wendy, it vexes me. I’m terribly vexed by this article.” Not…
My Own Gorgeous Family (L.A. Branch)
The reason we like to go to Los Angeles whenever possible is Wolfie, our gorgeous grandson. He’s just about 15 months old. Here he is on Grandpa’s lap. (My official name is “Grandma Wendy” to distinguish me from the two other Grandmas.) The lady with the beautiful smile is Laura, Wolfie’s mother. Wolfie can say…
All in the Family
The New York Times Magazine did a great story on my gorgeous husband’s non-profit investigative journalism project and Herb and Marion Sandler, the philanthropists who conceived of and funded the project. The whole magazine is about philanthropy this week. Of course, there’s a celebrity on the cover and it’s … Natalie Portman. Oh noes! Angelina…
A Basic Wardrobe, Part I
Gorgeous blogger K-Line tagged me to answer the question: “What is a basic wardrobe to you?” I put off writing my reply for a couple of days because I’m (a) a big procrastinator and (b) unhappy with my basic wardrobe. I am in mourning for my old wardrobe. Since I left the corporate world in…
Adventures in Arizona, Part II
As I started telling you, I spent last weekend at the Tucson Gem Show before visiting the beauteous sister bloggers Jennifer and Megan in Phoenix. I bought a few great stones, but I never tell people about the pieces I’m working on until they’re finished, so you’ll have to wait! My husband came along. He…
Oh, Happy Day
My husband and I started dating exactly 10 years ago today. I don’t know if this is from 1998, but it’s probably close enough. Also, happy birthday to GeorgeB! GeorgeB
We Were Both Flattered by This
Town car driver, about WendyB: “Mr. Paul, is that your daughter?” Husband: “No, that’s my wife.” Driver: “No, Mr. Paul, that’s your daughter, right?” Husband: “No, not my daughter. Wife.” Driver: “Mr. Paul, congratulations. You very lucky man!” UPDATE TO ADD: There’s a very nice interview with Paul on mediabistro. Check it out.
Musings on Voting and Football
If you live in one of the Super Tuesday states, don’t forget to vote. There’s no excuse not to vote because Buffy the Vampire Slayer is off the air. Some years ago, a woman I worked with went to her disorganized voting place, waited and waited and then left before getting to vote because the…
Nomi Malone Loves Versace Too
Some fashionistas assume Versace always looks like the purple dress below, complete with scary, too-tan makeup. No, there was no time to start over. I had to go out with an orange face and white arms. Shit happens! Get over it. Sometimes peeps have armgina, sometimes they have bad makeup. Orange you glad to see…
