My gorgeous friend Christine was supposed to attend Zang Toi’s “Lone Star Cowboy & the Texas Rose”-themed show with me on September 16, but something suddenly came up, as Greg Brady would say.

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…
What Wendy Will Wear: Dress by Zang Toi
What timing! Right after my post about how sample sizes, by definition, don’t fit the vast majority of people right off the rack, Tia from The Quest for “it” posted about the sample sale I had with my designing friend Zang Toi last month. Conveniently, she took a picture of Zang personally altering a red-cashmere…
One Sample Size Does Not Fit All. Deal With It.
Did you know the world revolved around voluptuous Mad Men star Christina Hendricks? Neither did I! Fortunately, I read New York Magazine’s The Cut blog, which alerted me to the fact via a story about Hendricks that ran in the The Daily Record of Scotland. The Record quoted her as saying: “People have been saying…

A Portrait of the Jeweler as a Tudor Queen
My designing friend Zang Toi has two white-gold paintings of Marie Antoinette that were love at first sight for me. You know how I feel about queens! I once bid on a small, pink version of Marie in an auction but lost. I was very upset. When Zang finally introduced me to the gorgeous artist,…
Outfit Post: Some Things Old, Some Things Blue
It took me nearly two years, but I finally wore the white lace Dolce & Gabbana coat that I bought from Trudie Styler (aka Mrs. Sting) thanks to some styling tips from gorgeous blogger/designer Stacy Lomman of taffetadarlings. In fact, I wore the coat two ways in one day. For our friends’ anniversary party at…
Outfit Post: Malaysians Bring the Par-Tay
Warning: If Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx and the prime minister of Malaysia are dancing on stage together, move aside quickly. Ladies in pink head scarves will cut a bitch who gets in the way of their picture-taking. I learned this the hard way on Friday at a dinner at The St. Regis hotel in honor…
