I was digging the short hairdos at MTV’s Video Music Awards last night. Of course, Pink has been a devotee of short hair for years. But she had more company than usual at the VMAs. Miley Cyrus went short last month, and her hair looked great glammed up for the event. I’ve adored many of…

What Wendy Wore: Revolving Door of Clothes
I’m happy to wear the same pair of jeans for weeks on end, but today I changed outfits like a D-list celebrity attending New York Fashion Week for the first time. I started out in the red peplum dress made for me earlier this year by designer/blogger Stacy Lomman. I like to wear that one…
Hair Photos Via Instagram
This is how my hair looks naturally … … and this is how I usually wear it. I think straight hair better highlights the interesting details of my haircuts. On the topic of hair, yesterday’s New York Times style section ran an article called “Getting Bolder With Age” about women in their 40s, 50s and…
Hair Today …
My gorgeous friend Keith Carpenter has been cutting my hair since the early ’90s. We’ve been through a lot of styles together, including pixies and perms. Yesterday, when he indicated a lock of hair near my face and asked, “What if we cut this off completely?”, I replied, “Why not?” I figured it wasn’t a…
Best Use of a Previously Worn Wedding Dress
Rapper Nas posed with his ex-wife Kelis’s green wedding gown on the cover of his new album. Gotta love a fashion statement like that. While I’m amused by Nas’s recycling of the gown, I’m on Team Kelis, as far as music goes. She has a lot of good songs, but I think this is my…
Colorful Biker Jackets and ’80s Hair
In the early ’80s, when I was growing up in Mahwah, N.J., my younger sister, Terri Berry, had a weekly dance class in New York City. My mother and I would spend the time at Bloomingdale’s. Week after week, I gazed longingly at a pale pink and gray leather motorcycle-style jacket. I don’t think I…
Fashion Repeats Itself: Maluca’s Floral Jacket
Singer Maluca sashays down the street with curlers in her hair in her El Tigeraso video, but the style statement that really caught my eye was her orange-red-floral-on-black jacket. The color and print reminds me of the ’80s shirt that I wore in October. Next time I wear that shirt, I’ll pop in some curlers…
Rihanna Brings Back More ’80s Memories
I haven’t been able to forget an outfit that Rihanna wore at the beginning of the month. That color combination reminds me of a matchy-matchy Esprit outfit I had in the ’80s when Esprit was hot-hot-hot. As I recall, I wore cropped purple pants with a boxy, striped purple and orange-yellow top. It seems everything…
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…
The Fight of the Century: Waterston vs. Schulman
As I said in my last post, gorgeous blogger Jennine and I went to see the social-media-inspired movie Catfish. There are two notable things about Catfish. First, the trailer that makes the movie look like a scary pseudo-documentary à la The Blair Witch Project is misleading. Second, Yaniv “Nev” Schulman, the handsome star of the…
