Even Better Than Peeps: Easter-Appropriate Jewelry
The results of the Washington Post’s annual Peeps diorama contest were announced last weekend. The winner was “OccuPeep D.C.” I’ve been obsessed with the Peeps diorama contest for years but have yet to enter. My extra-early New Year’s resolution is to build a Peep diorama for the 2013 contest. Of course, I made the same…
Wendy Brandes Jewelry, The Killing and Entertainment Weekly
Luckily for me, the AMC show The Killing infuriated fans by ending its first season without resolving its central murder mystery.

Fashion Repeats Itself: Rihanna Wears Black Mesh
Just a week ago, I did a Fashion Repeats Itself post comparing new black, mesh-topped dresses to a bodysuit I wore in 1993. On Sunday, Rihanna outdid the dress-wearing ladies by sporting a bodysuit JUST LIKE ME! Well, maybe not just like me. She forgot the mom jeans. The other thing Rihanna is missing is…
Valentine’s Day Countdown, Day 6: Advice for Men
Dean Rotbart, a pal from my Wall Street Journal days, hosts a weekly business show called B. Unconventional on KNUS Radio in Denver. He and his co-host David Biondo interviewed me for a pre-Valentine’s Day show. Among other things, they asked me for tips for men buying jewelry. My advice? Don’t play it too safe….
