‘Larger than life’ talk show host and lover of all things grand Wendy Williams had a chat with Essence.com at the Samsung Hope for Children Gala in New York City. Williams spoke candidly about a few of her passions. Those being her wigs, her 500 plus shoe collection and plastic surgery. Here is what the award-winning TV diva she had to say…
On naming her wigs…
No, I mean, I did a “wig-a-day” in May on my show, but I just call them by their title. Tonight I have on an 18-inch standard. And so Antoine, my hairstylist, will know when I say curl up the 18-in standard. Standard for me means a side part, not a whole lot going on, just a regular woman-next-door look.
Her views on plastic surgery …
I think that regarding plastic surgery, a lot of women that hate to cop to the fact that they would get it done, might be saying no to it for other reasons, like, maybe it’s against their culture, or they don’t have the money for it. I venture to say, like Joan Rivers said on Fashion Police, if I gave you $10, 000 and said you can use my doctor, you’d do it. And if you say you wouldn’t, I venture to say, ‘Somebody’s lying, and it ain’t me.
On her shoe collection…
“At the show, maybe 350 pairs, and more like 125 pairs at home. I know that because I counted last year. I was bored; we were on hiatus. I don’t consider flip-flops or sneakers shoes though – unless they’re the Isabel Marant wedge sneakers. ”
