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…

We Need to Join Diet Snapple Anonymous
Gorgeous blogger Jennine from The Coveted and Independent Fashion Bloggers has been my house guest for a couple of weeks. We’ve been very busy.

What Wendy Wore: Zang Toi Dress at Zang Toi Show
My designing friend Zang Toi had his Spring 2011 fashion show at Lincoln Center last night. The theme was “Lone Star Cowboy & the Texas Rose,” and the inspiration was the epic 1956 movie Giant, starring Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson and James Dean. Zang’s audience got to hootin’ and hollerin’ when a shirtless cowboy strolled…
Stacy Lomman: Off to a Great (Kick)Start
Here’s my favorite photo from gorgeous blogger Stacy Lomman‘s debut fashion show: Stacy taking her end-of-show bow with a TALL runway model.

I hit the town for Fashion’s Night Out last night wearing my capitalism-promoting dollar dress and accompanied by hawt bloggers Jennine of The Coveted and Alyssa, Kathy and Vyque of Fasshonaburu. We ran away from the teeming masses fighting to get into Bergdorf Goodman, wandered through Astroturf inside Prada’s 5th Avenue store, and wound up…

What Wendy Wore: FNO: The Show
I went to Lincoln Center last night for FNO: The Show, the ginormous, star-studded outdoor fashion show (Gisele! Naomi!) intended to get people jazzed to shop on Fashion’s Night Out this Friday. At first I was sad that I was inside Alice Tully Hall viewing the livestream of the event (courtesy of American Express) rather…
What Wendy Didn’t Wear: A Smile, a Skirt, a Smiling Skirt
According to the calendar, there are two weeks of summer left, but we all know that Labor Day weekend is when the season really ends. I figured I’d go to the beach and hide my depression about the coming cold months and shorter days with the help of a smiling Castelbajac skirt I got in…
