Wendy’s Week in Review: December 9 – December 15
When are people going to learn that “reporting” based on lightning-fast readings of Twitter and/or Facebook feeds isn’t real reporting? I was aggravated at the beginning of this month when at least a dozen gossip and news websites wrote that a quasi-celebrity was tweeting insults about a major celebrity. The story even made it to…
Yelawolf and WendyB, the Goddess of Rap
I’m starting to think I might be some kind of rap goddess … or maybe just a prophet, leading nonbelievers to the promised land of hip-hop. Last year, I got my non-rap-fan sister to stand 9 1/2 hours with me to see Eminem at Lollapalooza. This summer, I took MrB to his first rap concert…
Very Special Jeans Commercial
Forget about Brooke Shields and her Calvins. One of the greatest jeans ads of all time — OF ALL TIME — is the one Duluth Trading did for its “Ballroom” jeans. I thought this was a joke when I first saw it, but it’s real, y’all.
Recent Paris Memories for Bastille Day
I feel like I should be in Paris today because, for the past three years, MrB and I spent Bastille Day (aka quatorze julliet) there. Here’s a little video of last year’s fireworks. The twinkling in the beginning is the Eiffel Tower. This year, our travel plans got pushed up and we went to Paris…
Hot for Jeremy Scott, Sympathetic to Nicki Minaj
I’ve always had a passion for whimsical fashion. Designer Jeremy Scott‘s work definitely has a sense of humor, so I’ve often admired it, though I haven’t purchased anything yet. Maybe I’ll rectify that because, once again, I’m salivating over one of his pieces — a Rainbow Brite-worthy jacket worn by Nicki Minaj. I wouldn’t wear…
New Music: Gangsta Boo, Speakerfoxxx, Dillon Cooper
Visitors to my apartment always seem surprised that I have an extensive collection of city, state and country refrigerator magnets. What?! It’s the touch of elegance that every kitchen needs. Family members often bring me magnets from their travels, but I’ve purchased quite a few myself. I sure wish I could pick up an Austin,…
Amber Rose’s Engagement Ring (Plus Whipahol)
I’ve been fascinated by celebrity-by-association Amber Rose since she and her blonde Sinead O’Connor hairdo popped up on various red carpets with ex-boyfriend Kanye West. I took notice late last year when she did a sex-ay commercial for Smirnoff‘s Whipped Cream and Fluffed Marshmallow vodkas. Amber Rose PLUS whipped-cream-flavor alcohol? Sign me up. I did…
What Wendy Wore: Kid Rock at the Beacon Theatre
Ever since I dressed to the teeth for two Lady Gaga concerts last year, I feel kind of naked going to musical events in my everyday jeans and black t-shirt. At a recent Kanye West/Jay-Z concert, Kanye totally outdressed me by wearing a leather skirt over pants, so I was happy to see that Kid…
Style Icon: Walt “Clyde” Frazier
In the ’90s, I lived with a roommate in a nice-enough apartment building. We had a doorman, a marble lobby and the location was decent — not too far from the subway — but it definitely wasn’t Park Avenue. One day, I saw a tall, elegant man in the elevator. He was wearing the most…
