To celebrate tonight’s Academy Awards — and console myself for not being there this year — I’m reminiscing about my personal Oscar fashion archive. Picking up where I left off in Part I, Part II begins in 2006. Beauty-wise, I skipped the faux-ny tail again and, thankfully, opted for straight hair. I had enough going…

What Wendy Wore: Sick Woman Walking
I dragged myself out of my sickbed on Saturday to go to a Food & Wine Magazine photo shoot at my designing friend Zang Toi‘s beautiful apartment. The shoot was a big production involving hordes of people and I didn’t want to let them down by being a no-show. After all, someone had to be…
On the Town Epic Post: Celebrating Sex and the City 2
In case you’re new to this blog and haven’t read the TEN MILLION posts I’ve done on this topic … guess what?! My Cleopatra earrings are worn by Samantha (Kim Cattrall) in Sex and the City 2! I wanted to see the movie on opening night. At first, I thought MrB and I would have…
Congrats to MrB and ProPublica on the Pulitzer Prize
I’m thrilled to tell you that ProPublica, the independent, non-profit newsroom run by my gorgeous husband, MrB (Paul Steiger), has won its first Pulitzer Prize! The prize-winning story, a collaboration with the New York Times, was a report by ProPublica’s Sheri Fink about a hospital in New Orleans where a doctor and two nurses were…
Easter Egg Eyebrows
Forget about the traditional Easter bonnet. Today is the day to try out the Peeptastic pastel eyebrows seen on the Balenciaga runway last month. CLICK FOR BABY-BLUE EYEBROWS. When I saw the Balenciaga pictures, I immediately thought of my gorgeous friend Kara Baby and her gorgeous sister Stephanie Baby. No, their last name isn’t really…
Outfit Photo by Bill Cunningham of the New York Times
I promised a full-length view of my gown from this week’s Committee to Protect Journalists fund-raising dinner, but I didn’t expect I’d get to use one from the New York Times! Famous photographer Bill Cunningham took this picture of me and my gorgeous friend Melissa — both in Zang Toi gowns — with Zang that…
Making Up in L.A.
Stephanie Daniel, the hair/makeup artist who did my Oscar-night look, was wearing kickass boots that evening. I had to take a picture. I didn’t get a good picture of the rest of her, which is unfortunate because she’s very beautiful. I’ve worked with Stephanie many times. One thing I enjoy about her, in addition to…
New Year’s Outfits
For my traditional New Year’s Eve/birthday combination celebration last night, I wore a Clovis Ruffin dress from Shrimpton Couture, my faux-ny tail and earrings of my own design. Gigi the dog wore her own fur coat, accessorized with a giant tongue and a bitchy attitude. UPDATED TO ADD: I’m wearing also the Lagerfeld shoes I…
Taking the Opportunity to Be Lazy
Gorgeous blogger Mademoiselle Robot posted an interview with me today, and I lazily thought, “Hey, that could be my post for the day.” Go check it out! I’m happy that Miss Robot used a picture of me wearing my faux-ny tail. I love the faux-ny tail. Having a faux-ny moment with my gorgeous friend Alix…
Surprise!
I didn’t expect this, but my Marie Claire essay is now available online. I hope you peeps who bought the magazine won’t be demanding a refund. You did get an extra photo in the print version. Maybe that counts for something. I will give you two more photos here. When we did the shoot for…
