Shout out to my jewelry industry friends attending the trade shows in Vegas. I miss you, and I’m so envious! Last month, I was entertaining the idea of going, even though I’m not showing my work, just to be around the people and the jewelry. But then came the Buffalo, N.Y, gun massacre, which was…

Take Action for Abortion Rights on May 14
Saturday, May 14, is a national day of action for the protection of abortion rights. If you’re in New York City, I’ve got three options for you: 12 PM – 6 PM: THIS IS THE LARGEST EVENT: The Bans Off Our Bodies action with Planned Parenthood and other national organization starts at noon at Cadman…
Jewel of the Month: Holiday Earrings
It’s not too late to get someone — or yourself — the perfect pair of holiday earrings. These platinum and rose gold diamond danglers have “Happy New Year” written all over them. Not literally, of course. I feel like I need to clarify that, because I do write on some of my jewelry. But these…
RIP, Virgil Abloh
When I saw eclectic designer/artist/DJ Virgil Abloh’s name trending on Twitter yesterday, I expected that he was sharing more big plans for next week’s Art Basel Miami Beach, for which he had already announced a Louis Vuitton menswear show and the debut of an electric Maybach that he collaborated on with Mercedes-Benz. But instead of…
How to Fight for Reproductive Rights
I assume you’re up-to-date on the Christofascist ban on abortion that’s been legalized in Texas, but maybe you’re still wondering what to do about it. First, here’s a tiny bit of good news: Thanks to public outcry, hosting company GoDaddy is forcing an abortion vigilante site — one that encouraged people to anonymously send in…
Throwback Thursday: Britney Spears and This Blog
I started writing this blog close to 14 years ago because of Britney Spears. Seriously. I had set up a free account on Blogspot on July 23, 2007, but that was just a placeholder. I published one post that said I would start blogging “soon” but not quite yet. Two days later, I learned that…
My Best Dressed at the 2021 Grammys Is …
The winner of my Best Dressed/Wear What You Want award for the 2020 Grammys is Billy Porter and his fabulous mechanical hat! Yeah, I said 2020. I know the 2021 Grammys ceremony was on last night, and I’ll get to that eventually, but I’m a wee bit behind! There was a lot going on when…
Year in Review: What Wendy Wore in 2020, Part 1
For the Year in Review post for my What Wendy Wore blog category, I was going to write “Nothing noteworthy” and be like … Hahaha Thats All Folks GIF from Hahaha GIFs But, looking back, there was more style in this hell-fire year than I remembered — and every bit of it reflects political, social,…
Happy Trump-Rat Thursday!
I’ve always disliked Thanksgiving. Good holidays involve gifts, costumes, and/or fireworks. Thanksgiving has none of those. What does it have? Dysfunctional family behavior; mandatory binge eating; football (ooh, racism and brain damage!); and a feel-good spin on the fact that white Europeans sailed to another continent, said, “This is ours now,” and decimated the people…
RIP, Chiara D’Agostino
A year ago today, I brought a cake to the hospital so my friend Chiara D’Agostino could celebrate her 48th birthday during her chemo appointment. Chiara died this August 4 of a complication of stage 4 triple negative metastatic breast cancer — leptomeningeal disease, in which the cancer invades the fluid around the brain and…
