The uproar over Miley Cyrus‘s twerk-tastic MTV Video Music Awards performance caused me to seek psychological help. Not for me, bitches! I was looking for assistance for the many traumatized viewers, including the ones who play it cool(er) by saying it wasn’t the sex-ay-ness of the performance that was a problem for them: Their argument…

My Sixth Blogversary and a New Huffington Post Story
Time flies when you’re having fun — and even when you’re not having fun! It’s my sixth blogversary today.

Read About Amy Gerhartz on the Huffington Post
In my July 30 post, I mentioned that I was hypnotized by an eerie trailer for Lifetime’s movie about Anna Nicole Smith. It was the slowed-down cover of the song “Fame” that did it to me. Well, I kept playing and replaying the trailer while I searched online for the name of the singer: Amy…
The Agony and Ecstasy of a Small Business, Revisited

A High Heel That’s as Comfortable as a Sneaker, Guaranteed
The “Big City Pump Silhouette Sneaker” by Be&D is highlarious. You’d definitely get the best of both worlds with that one. I’m normally a big fan of trompe l’oeil fashion, but I prefer real heel height, so I’ve been wearing the hell out of my Thelma wedge sneakers by Ash Shoes. I wore them to,…

What Wendy Wore: Neon-Pink Chris Benz to the Elly Awards
As I said in a recent post, I have worn neon-colored clothes since the 1980s. IF YOU MISSED MY HUFFINGTON POST PIECE ON NEON, CLICK HERE. When I saw this neon-pink-and-black Spring 2012 dress by designer Chris Benz last fall, I took a chance and ordered it. I don’t usually go for blousy tops, but…
