What Wendy Wore: Sequins for “99 Homes” Screening
I spent 10 years in business journalism, and the gyrations of the stock market are more than enough to bring back the memories, thank you very much. I wouldn’t normally seek out a movie related to the post-housing-bubble foreclosure crisis, but I’m glad MrB and I caught a screening of 99 Homes last week. I…
Wanderlust 2015: What Wendy Wore in Paris
We left London for Paris on Monday, August 3. Paris empties out in August because so many Parisians take a nice long holiday. (Several of our Parisian friends were in New York while we were in their city.) I think everyone who was left in the city was sitting along the Seine that night. Whenever…
What Wendy Wore: An Act of God
You’ve got until Sunday, Aug. 2, to catch actor Jim Parsons (aka Sheldon Cooper on The Big Bang Theory) in An Act of God at Studio 54. Parsons plays God, who is wrestling with “wrath-management” issues while he’s in the midst of updating the Ten Commandments. The by-the-book angel Gabriel is played by Tim Kazurinsky…
What Wendy Wore: Southpaw Premiere
People say that every boxing movie has the same plot and maybe that’s true (except for Million Dollar Baby, because the hero normally doesn’t get killed by adrenaline injection), but it doesn’t mean a movie can’t excel within that range. I was blown away by the Southpaw premiere last night, as was everyone around me…
Throwback Thursday: 4th of July Outfit
I’m not going back very far for Throwback Thursday: just to this July 4. I had expected my Independence Day celebrations to be limited to a July 3 outing with friends, when I wore this patriotic outfit, which I’ll post again for the hell of it. But my designing friend Stacy Lomman decided that we…
What Wendy Wore: That 4th of July Outfit Again
I got my Independence Day look on one day early, for last night’s outing to the rooftop lounge at Ink48. I highly recommend the view there. I wore my Castelbajac sailor outfit, which I like to get out on or around July 4. I mean, when else can you wear something like this? What Wendy…
What Wendy Wore: Zang Toi and a New Ring
My hair guru Keith Carpenter and his partner Olivier had a dinner party on Saturday at their beautiful apartment in Brooklyn. I dressed in the same Zang Toi jacket/faux-garter tights combo that I wore to see Cabaret in January and to Zang’s Fall 2014 runway show. What can I say? I like this outfit! What…
What Wendy Wore: New York vs. Florida
At the end of last month — in between New York’s numerous snowstorms — I wore this 2004 sweater-and-skirt set out to dinner with friends. What Wendy Wore in the Cold Sweater: Alexander McQueen (2004, purchased at Bergdorf Goodman) Skirt: McQueen (2004, purchased with sweater) Boots: Prada (2008 or 2009, recently seen here) Purse: Louis…
What Wendy Wore: Zang Toi and “Garters” to Cabaret
Cabaret is one of my favorite musicals, but somehow I’d never managed to see the live theater version starring Alan Cumming as the Emcee. Not in 1993, when he did it in London, nor in 1998 on Broadway. Well, he’s back in his star-making role — only through March — at Studio 54 and I…
