So I'm kind of "into" menswear chic
I want a phony men's Rolex as my timepiece of choice. But $650?? Pshh! I can't wait to get back to my wart nosed gypsy style haggling on Canal Street.
Estelle Getty would have laughed
As you all know, the Golden Girls is my favorite show. I think 2 years ago, the"About Me" section of my Facebook said "I check imdb every morning to see if one of my beloved Golden Girls has died" Well, on Tuesday it happened. Sad face bear. Being ridiculously awkward in these types of situations, I wasn't exactly sure how to tackle the issue of Estelle Getty being dead. I'm saddened and all, but she was 84 and she led a great life and touched a lot of people's lives.
Me: So they're having a special Golden Girls marathon this Friday
J: Why?
Me: Because Estelle Getty died
J: So is that what they're gonna do? They're gonna have a marathon every time one of those old bitches hits the bricks?
(less than 1 second passes)
J: I TOLD YOU I HAD A HARD DAY AT WORK!!
(We both laugh for like 5 minutes straight)
And I think Estelle would have appreciated that witty banter. This is how I want to remember her and the rest of the cast. I want this image emblazoned to my retinas so I'll never forget the feisty, fearless, fashion unconscious spirit of the 80's and all the emergences which it has spawned.

I have New York-lust!
I have a "spot" I like. I must, because right now I would kill for a bagel from Hot & Crusty.
After a quick Google search, I found out that they are a chain, but the one I went to was located on 42nd street, NOT 40th street like I previously thought. I went there one morning before a class fieldtrip to Anna Sui's showroom, and was so excited with the quality of the bagel that I got a scone for the road. And the scone was hard!! It was crazy. Maybe I'm the disillusioned one, but I like my scones hard and my cars American*. But everywhere I went in NYC, the scones were soft and orange-rind infused, I kid you not. Yes, even the "plain" ones. After several disappointing regurgitated scone boluses I had given up. Long story short, I am willing to travel from 14th st. to 42nd st./Times Square for my plain bagel with plain cream cheese. Other reasons I think I have New York lust- on more than one occasion this summer I have in all seriousness said "Gah, I would suck someone off for a Red Mango right now". That's major for me, but at those times it was a genuine sentiment. And for those of you who think Pinkberry is where it's at, know that they stole the idea from Red Mango, even down to the name. But mostly this " Ode to Manhattan" was prompted by me missing this place, where I resided whilst I lived in New York. But I'll be back in a little more than a month, Iphone and New York air of pretense both activated.
*Absolutely a joke, the only American cars I trust were made during or before 1975.
