My gorgeous friend Cheryl Tan is a real journalist, and she’s in Milan, blogging her little fingers off. Go read her shizz or I’ll open a can of J. Lo on your ass! That’s Cheryl on the right, giving me ‘tude. Earlier this month, Bryanboy (motto: “I’m so gay I sweat glitter”) did an interesting…
Giving You the Boot
I’m trying to avoid going into stores so that I’m not tempted to spend. Things are so much more enticing in person than they are online. I went into Barneys recently and I thought I was going to start licking the purses on the first floor. They looked so delicious. But I have new jewelry…
Butt Bows Iz Back in Fashun
I like lolcats. I like PostSecret. Therefore, I like lolsecretz. Here’s a lolWendy for you. That’s a vintage Guy Laroche gown. I would guess ’80s, wouldn’t you?
For Social Butterflies Only
You shy people better move along. Nothing to see here. For the more daring fashionistas, I present the supersize Butterfly Ring. (Butterfly Ring © Wendy Brandes 2007-2008) (Photo by John Muggenborg) The ring is 3″ at its widest point and 2 1/2″ high. The sample was made with blackened sterling silver and set with CZ….
"It’s Like Climbing Mt. Everest!"
My enjoyment of the Jennifer Lopez “Defend Your Outfit” video inspired me to look for another fine J. Lo moment. Observe Ms. Lopez giving the hand to Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog, at the 2001 MTV VMAs. Did you miss the “Defend Your Outfit” clip? Check it out here. I swear, I watch that clip…
Almost the Craziest Celeb Story Ever
Over the weekend, I checked People.com and got the fright of my life, or at least the fright of that minute of my life. There was a story saying George Clooney had been injured in a motorcycle accident and directly under it, a story saying Britney Spears was charged in a hit-and-run. I thought, “Holy…
He’s Ba-a-a-ck! Again!
Designer Todd Oldham has a new fashion project: creative director for Old Navy. Oldham’s been doing all kinds of things for years, ranging from costume design to floral design to home furnishings design. But whenever I see his name, I get nostalgic for his supermodel-filled runway shows in the ’90s. I feel the same nostalgia…
Just in Time for Fall: Primavera Rings
I just got the photos of a new ring style for my nature-themed Eden collection. I named this style Primavera because the little flowers and the color of the stones make me think of spring. The style was inspired by my dear friend Shawn Love, someday to be known to you all as the winner…
Naughty, Stylish Audrey Horne
Who killed Laura Palmer? In 1990, I was totally obsessed with David Lynch’s show Twin Peaks. Set in the eerie fictional town of Twin Peaks, Wash., it starred Kyle MacLachlan, who might be more familiar to you youngsters as Trey on Sex and the City and Orson on Desperate Housewives. He played Dale Cooper, an…
The Footwear Creeps in on Little Mouse Feet
Fasshonburu pointed out these mouse shoes by the late Marc Jacobs (he’s not really dead, just late, so please stop crying). I asked myself, “Self, would mouse feet make you happy?” But upon serious reflection, I realized that only fish feet will do. Alas. “Jaws Platform Pumps” aren’t going to appease me either. Fish or…
