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…

Wednesday’s Video: How to Get Free Jewelry
Last month, I did a video about celebrities who think they’re entitled to free clothes. I explained that sample sizes — by definition — are not “one size fits all,” so it’s not a personal insult if a dress designed for one particular model to wear a single time on a runway doesn’t magically fit…
Coachella 2018, Day 2: Lion Babe, Cardi B, Eminem
I could have squeezed my full Coachella 2018 story into yesterday’s post, but I wanted to give some extra love to Lion Babe, which was the first act I saw on Sunday. Lion Babe is a duo consisting of singer Jillian Hervey (Vanessa Williams’s daughter!) and producer Lucas Goodman, but during a live performance it’s…

The MTV Video Music Awards have kept Beyoncé on my mind, so it’s a good day to finally do my Beyoncé concert post. MrB and I caught the Formation Tour at New York’s Citi Field on June 7 — in between my return from the JCK jewelry trade show in Las Vegas and our trip…
My Best Dressed at the 2016 MTV VMAs Is …
MTV’s Video Music Awards last night let me down in all kinds of ways. First, the show itself. Rihanna received the Video Vanguard award, but dragging her performances throughout the whole program undercut the excitement of her big moment … even though she improved during the evening, thankfully finding her voice by her fourth appearance….
“As Usual, I Have Lots of Crazy Crap in My Hair”
I adore Lady Gaga, but I think The Key of Awesome’s parody of the Gaga-Beyonce Telephone video is better than the real thing. I can’t stop singing it. If Gaga and Beyonce answered the parody video with a parody of their own — including Wendy Brandes jewelry p-p-p-p-p-p-p-product placement, of course — they would be…
