Thanks to Accessories Magazine for including my raised hand emoji earring in today’s “Trend Finders” post! In case you missed it last month, the Unicode Consortium — aka Emoji Headquarters — revealed 38 new emojis that are proposed for a June 2016 launch. The list includes crossed fingers, which I already have in jewelry form…
Throwback Thursday: Hugs and Hisses
Someone, somewhere, declared that June 4 is National Hug Your Cat Day. It’s also Throwback Thursday. To cover both these events, here is a December 2013 photo of me hugging a very disgrunted FitzRoy. And here is a July 2014 hug bestowed upon a somewhat startled Purrkoy. You can follow both my Exotic Shorthair kittehs…
Shoes in Magazines, on TV and on Restaurant Tables
Gladiator sandals really are the shoe of the moment. After writing about them in yesterday’s post, I spotted them in today’s New York Observer. This look is going to be wildly overdone this season, but I’m going to take advantage of its pervasiveness and stock up on styles so I have them to wear when…
What Wendy Wore: Hanging With My Vegas Gems
I’m still recovering from JCK Las Vegas, the gigantic jewelry trade show that took place over the weekend. It’s not Vegas-style partying that exhausts me. It’s seeing hundreds of thousands of jewelry styles in one place that’s exhausting! The highlight of any JCK experience is meeting up with my group of amazing social-media wimmin friends,…
Werq, Caitlyn Jenner!
Bruce Jenner has left the building, and Caitlyn Jenner is looking fierce on the cover of Vanity Fair’s July issue. A lot of people pointed out Caitlyn’s resemblance to actress Jessica Lange, who played the hot Supreme Witch on American Horror Story: Coven. Surgeon: “how fierce do you want to look” #CaitlynJenner : “Like a…

Throwback Thursday: Mary Ellen Mark and Tiny
Photographer Mary Ellen Mark died in Manhattan on Monday at age 75. She had myelodysplastic syndrome, a disease that affects bone marrow and blood. Mark did everything from documentary photography to fashion photography and ad campaigns, but her best-known project was about homeless teens in Seattle. It began as a 1983 LIFE magazine photo essay,…
See Hi-Rez at McDonald’s and Webster Hall
I’m excited to see my customer Hi-Rez getting some much-deserved attention. Rez recently teamed up with YouTube prankster Coby Persin, sauntered into a Times Square McDonald’s, and rapped a crazy-ass order to the befuddlement of the McDonald’s staff. The video was shared by Lil Wayne on Facebook and has close to five million views. Not…
My Taxi Ring is a JCK Editors’ Pick!
I love lists titled “The Best of the Best,” because it makes me think of the overeager West Point graduate in Men in Black who barks “Because we’re the best of the best of the best … SIR!” I love “Best of the Best” lists even more when I’m part of them! I had just…
Happy Memorial Day From Purrkoy the Sailor Cat
Purrkoy would like to thank the members of the armed forces who gave their lives for their country … especially the sailors. Aaaaand now the Village People are going to be stuck in my head for the rest of the day.
