Early life and education

edit

Tendler was born in Bethel, Connecticut.[citation needed] She is Jewish. According to an interview with Architectural Digest, Tendler studied hairstyling at Vidal Sassoon and the Make-up Designory after graduating from high school, and then studied photography at Parsons School of Design at The New School before dropping out.[3] She later received her bachelor's degree from The New School in writing and psychology. In 2021, she received an MA degree from NYU Steinhardt in costume studies.[4][3][5][6] Her thesis was titled The Lip Filler Phenomenon: Modern Medicine, Kylie Jenner, and Postfeminist Female Sexuality.[7]

Career

edit

After dropping out of college her freshman year, Tendler began work as a hairstylist and makeup artist in New York City.[8] She was an early pioneer in the world of online beauty gurus. In December 2007, she created a Tumblr blog dedicated to daily makeup looks that accumulated more than 350,000 followers.[9] Her tutorials have been featured in magazines such as Glamour, HelloGiggles, and DailyCandy.[8] In 2016, she partnered with Amy Poehler's Smart Girls to create a YouTube tutorial series combining beauty with the paranormal called The Other Side.[10]

Since 2016, Tendler has owned a business called Silk Parlor, which handcrafts Victorian style lampshades.[3][11] As a makeup artist and hair stylist, she has worked on various television series and comedy specials, including: The Old Man and the Seymour, CollegeHumor Originals, John Mulaney: New in Town, Aziz Ansari: Dangerously Delicious and John Mulaney: The Comeback Kid.[1] On Broadway, she worked on the shows Oh, Hello and Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812.[9][11]

In 2018, Tendler had a brief appearance in an episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee featuring her then-husband John Mulaney.[12] In 2019, Tendler was featured in Mulaney's musical comedy special John Mulaney & the Sack Lunch Bunch, where she discussed her greatest fears and played a cameo role in a sketch.[13]

In September 2021, Tendler exhibited artwork at The Other Art Fair in Santa Monica, California.[14] The exhibition, titled "rooms in the first house", is said by her website to "chronicle the often non-linear experiences of loss, anger, and powerlessness, as well as a reclamation of identity".[15][16]

In 2022, Tendler began writing her memoir, Men Have Called Her Crazy, inspired by her stay at a psychiatric hospital in early 2021, and the events preceding and following that moment. The book was published by Simon & Schuster on August 13, 2024.[17][18][19][20]

Personal life

edit

Tendler married comedian John Mulaney on July 5, 2014, at the Onteora Mountain House in Boiceville, New York. Their friend, comedian Dan Levy, officiated the ceremony.[21] Mulaney often mentioned Tendler and their French Bulldog Petunia in his stand-up routines.[22][23] Tendler and Mulaney's separation was announced in May 2021. In July of the same year, Mulaney filed for divorce, which was finalized in January 2022.[24][25]

In 2022, Tendler shared her decision to undergo oocyte cryopreservation in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar.[26][27]

Tendler resides in Connecticut.[28]

In a series of tweets on October 11, 2017, she claimed that she was groped by Ben Affleck at a Golden Globes party in 2014.[29][30]
