A few people have been asking me, so I must sadly confirm that blogger Sister Wolf’s oldest son Max passed away on Sunday. Her brief statement is here. Those of you who have been following her blog closely know that he endured many surgeries after an accident last year. Some of her posts about that…

What Wendy Wore: California Three-Peat
While I was packing for last week’s trip to Los Angeles, I remembered that I had unintentionally worn the same outfit and posed in the exact same location on L.A. visits in March 2008 and December 2008. This called for a three-peat, so I packed my Black Halo top, black Acne jeans, 16-year-old Karl Lagerfeld…
Greetings From Los Angeles
I’ve been in California for a very quick visit. Luckily, I squeezed in a dinner with some of my West Coast blogger bitches. This picture was taken outside Malo in Silver Lake. It’s hard to see, but everyone is wearing a pair of my silver Cleopatra earrings except for me. I’m wearing the gold Cleopatra…
Sex and the International Cities
I love that gorgeous bloggers around the world are taking pictures of Samantha (Kim Cattrall) wearing my Cleopatra earrings on screen during Sex and the City 2! That said, I discourage you from doing this without permission because people are very uptight about movie piracy. If someone thinks you’re recording the whole movie, your ass…
On the Town: Ting Tings & Richard Prince T-Shirts
I’ve been so busy with Sex and the City 2 that I didn’t get to share some pictures from a great Ting Tings concert a couple of weeks ago. The show was part of a series of free concerts sponsored by Microsoft’s new line of KIN “social phones.” “Social phones” sound to me like phones…
Gorgeous Clients Looking Gorgeous
My post about Sex and the City 2 was such an epic endeavor that I’m too exhausted to write much. Luckily, I have beautiful client photos to share. Gorgeous client/blogger Jill from Stella’s Roar sent this photo of herself lounging poolside in her just-arrived-by-mail silver Cleopatra earrings. You’ve met Jill on this blog before because…
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…
“Things Are Easy When You’re Big in Japan”
I’ve got the 1984 song “Big in Japan” by Alphaville stuck in my head. Before it was a song, “big in Japan” was a mocking description of rock bands that weren’t successful at home in the U.S. or U.K., but were popular in Japan. The Japanese fans were considered a poor consolation prize. Personally, I’d…
Leather-Shorts Leader and More Double Denim
In today’s Wall Street Journal, the delightful Rachel Dodes reports that leather shorts are hot, but not in the “too hot to wear in the summer” way. They’re hot as in “selling like hotcakes.” Rachel (with whom I’m acquainted) writes, “The new look made its runway debut last season in the shows of Chloe and…
Swear Rings in Russia, Earrings on Perez
Gorgeous blogger Julia, the Thanksgiving Girl, has achieved two Wendy Brandes Jewelry firsts. She’s my first customer in Russia AND she’s the first to get the gold-plated version of my swear rings. Gold-plated means that these are the normal silver swear rings with a thin layer of yellow gold on top.A The plated rings are…
